With so many temptations to stray from true feel, not 1 minute of unforgiven does. Its tough to watch maggie's tragedy, but just as tough to know munny is a damned man, no matter what he does. All the while we are watching a western that feels as though it was shot over 30 or 40 years ago. there is nothing tougher than directing a successful classic western (or any classic genre film for that matter) in modern cinema.

His best movie is Million Dollar Baby, a brilliantly acted & directed film & a much tougher work of art than Unforgiven. Good call on Perfect World though. Curiously underrated & arguably Costner's best acting ever. Eastwood films such as Flags/Letters & Mystic River have surpassed Unforgiven for me so I can’t agree with you on that.

I think Mystic River would be my pick, however you can't discount Million Dollar Baby.

No one ever ever mentions A Perfect World, but it is a great choice. Nice pick, Hunter. Now let's see if some clown argues for Blood Work. Wow.
