EuroTV, an online entertainment magazine, has its list of the best Clint Eastwood movies, and gives a short synopsis of each.

I've seen all of them, but after reading the synopses, I'm wondering if I saw the same movies.

The article is here

I agree with most on the list. Bridges though, really, top 10.

It's obvious that English is not the native language of the author. The syntax and word choice is very off.

Sadly, there are some Americans who write just as poorly.

We generally refer to them as moderators........

True yes, also noticed by I. Computer maybe translation of language foreign?

Also agree not choices with.

Well, I guess nobody else here found the descriptions to be funny. I know English isn't the author's first or even fifth language, but I cracked up reading that piece.

Yes, Dick, I found it to border on hilarity.

I had to catch myself at first, as it was late, and I thought that it might be me......

Any Eastwood with Sondra Locke needs to be taken off his movie list.

She must have been a great kisser, 'cause she sure could not act!

Hey, she looked okay in Outlaw Josey Whales! ...nevermind.

Was Million Dollar Baby that good or was it just a big award winner?

We have will mention Outlaw Josey Wales, a movie with a rebel crosses to Mexico to cut his hand with indian chief. Josey Wales is the fastest gunfighter and farmer in the south with wife and house burned, and likes for revenge bluebelly captain with red legs.

LoL.

I considered attempting to pen an appropriately commensurate review/description of Pale Rider but, as the saying goes, "words fail me." No matter how I try, I am incapable of writing that poorly (despite the fact that some of my readers would no doubt suggest that ALL of my scribbles are equally incomprehensible).

The trick, IMO, is to write it as you normally would, then modify it. Yes, I agree it is difficult to write the draft like that.

Or to be from Milwaukee, where a lot of people speak like that.
