Has he ever made a bad movie?
That's a subjective question of course but I think "Bloodwork" and "The Rookie" are pretty mediocre and forgettable.

Why so many hard questions?
Yeah, seriously, this one is hard. So many good ones, and I'm not a movie guy at all. But it's Clint, so... For me it's a very tight contest between these Unforgiven The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Fistful of Dollars Outlaw Josey Wales Oh man, I don't know, if I am required to choose one A Fistful of Dollars
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Just my 2 cents:
Josey Wales Dirty Harry Kelly's Heroes ( mostly for Odd Ball the Tanker/ Hippie }
Honorable Mentions
Pale Rider for the Good piece of wood
Mag Force for A mans gotta know his limitations Crack and the shooting Range scene
At the Goodwood Revival parade of WW2 vehicles there was a guy riding on a Sherman dressed as Odd Ball..
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

My personal top two:
1. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 2. Firefox
I fully realize that pick #2 isn't an expected one by most fans but I think it's one of the best Cold War movies ever made and Clint turned in a great performance. And besides, the movie has an incredibly awesome looking plane (fictional of course) and a great soundtrack by Maurice Jarre. I love Firefox. Think in Russian!

No one has mentioned “The Bridges of Madison County”.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I'm not sure I can list favorites as I've not seen them all and most of them tend to be pretty good movies.
I like Escape from Alcatraz, Honkytonk Man and In the Line of Fire. I like Honkytonk Man especially as that has Marty Robbins in it. I also like Clint's Hank Williams kind of drifter/musician character and that character's humor.
Unforgiven is a great Western. I don't think I've ever seen an actor really pull off a believable ex-cold blooded outlaw as Clint in that one. That wintry scene by the tree where he's waiting with the kid who just killed his first man and repented in doing so, Clint just has this cold, dead and hollowed out look.
I also like a lot of his movies that he's directed like Changling, Jersey Boys and J. Edgar.
Has anyone seen "The Mule"? I thought that looked interesting.
