Definitely Unforgiven. The Final Western, in a way.

Unforgiven, the spiritual end to the unnamed man westerns (the Spegeti westerns) that Clint did.

Unforgiven most definetely. With Mystic River second, and then Million Dollar Baby third.

I have yet to see Mystic River. Am I missing out?

The ending text scroll and music at Unforgiven was unforgettable.

Would I be forgiven if I echoed earlier sentiment for "Firefox"?

The Outlaw Josey Wales

one of my fathers favorite movies and one of the very first Clint movies i ever saw so it's got some sentimental value behind it.
