Jeremy Herbert at \/Film decided to come up with his list of Clint Eastwood’s 14 Best Roles Ranked<\/a>.\u00a0 Narrowing down Eastwood’s best roles to just 14 is tough. Before you click over to check out Herbert’s list, here are my top five (using just Herbert’s picks) and a few more that didn’t make his list, but would have made mine.<\/p>\n

Harry Callahan from Dirty Harry<\/em>:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is a pretty easy choice for me.\u00a0 I think Harry is Eastwood’s most iconic and best role.\u00a0 After that the choices become tougher, but for me Dirty Harry is #1.<\/p>\n

Josey Wales from The Outlaw Josey Wales<\/em>:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I placed Josey in the second spot, but to be honest I almost placed Blondie aka The Man with No Name at #2.\u00a0 Today Josey gets the edge, but that could change.\u00a0 Wales loses everything but his humanity.\u00a0 And Herbert is right to mention the classic line: “Dyin’ ain’t much of a living, boy.”<\/p>\n

Blondie from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly<\/em>:<\/strong>\u00a0 The movie that made Eastwood an international superstar.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will Munny from Unforgiven<\/em>:<\/strong>\u00a0 I applaud Eastwood for having the patience to wait until he was old enough to play the character.\u00a0 Unforgiven<\/em> doesn’t give us the typical good guy – bad guy movie.\u00a0 Our good guy is a bad guy.\u00a0 There’s no shooting guns out of the bad guy’s hands.\u00a0 Gut shots are slow, painful deaths.\u00a0 There’s no riding off into the sunset with the girl. John Wayne would have hated this film.\u00a0 I wouldn’t want all my westerns to be like this, but I do love me some Unforgiven<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other Eastwood characters that would have made my list but didn’t make Herbert’s…<\/p>\n
