In the movie Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood's character died.  Can anyone name another move where this happened?




If you are talking specifically about Clint....didn't he die in The Beguiled?

Gran Torino left me in shock and shouting for him to get up!

@libertybele You have revealed your mind reading abilities! After the Marilyn/Sophia thread I was hoping for a thread like this and had those two specific actors in mind, lol.

My answer, without hesitation....Clint!

LOL!   @berdie

My Marilyn/Sophia thread initiated because my Facebook newsfeed is suddenly filled with photos of Marilyn Monroe and months ago, Sophia Loren.

They were the first two women that ever made me stop and look up and down...and up and down...and up and down.

Yet, each of them were completely different women.  And the replies bear that out.

Yes he did. Creepy movie - the first of the fatal attraction genre. Besides maybe Sunset Blvd.

Not the movie I was thinking of, but you are 100% correct.  Well done.

Didn’t Clint direct a boxing movie where the main character who was a woman died?

I hear where you are coming from @DCPatriot . Clint had the same affect on me. Since he is 20 years or so older than I am it stands to reason he made a favorable impression. :laugh:

Here's one that was born two generations too late.  Clive Owen could be a fill in for Cary Grant.

Perhaps, but it did introduce us to Roberta Flack and “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”. Incredible song! And Donna Mills was as cute as a bug’s ear.

Ha, the "bug's ear" comment cracked me up. Reminded me of some college friends who always said it. And I loved Roberta Flack - first concert I ever went to.

I thought that was the near 'fatal obsession' movie...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I’m partial to this guy, but Clint would do in a pinch. Redford is pretty, but his politics…blech.

@debrawiest

I'm with you on Cary Grant. Although I did like Robert Redford when he first appeared on the screen (in spite of his being a blond), over the years I got over him. Clint Eastwood never did anything for me. There were several lookers from the Cary Grant era, but I mostly gravitate toward the impeccably groomed urbane types with a side of humor. No one pulls that off better than Cary.

"Million Dollar Baby" was the name of the movie which he was filmmaker/co-producer director and actor. Hillary Swank was great in the movie and I loved it.
