Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood as Francesca and Robert in Bridges of Madison County
Clint Eastwood is more than just a great actor, he's also enjoyed a very prolific and highly respected career as a director spanning more than 50 years. Eastwood is renowned for his unique minimalist approach to directing, preferring to maintain spontaneity and momentum by only shooting a couple of takes per scene.
Although it borrows a lot of elements from the classic Western Shane, Eastwood's Pale Rider is an incredibly entertaining film in its own right. Eastwood guides a fantastic cast in delivering a dramatic story against a suitable bleak and harsh backdrop. At just 13 years old at the time of filming, Penny did a remarkable job in her role as the strong-willed daughter, earning her Young Artist Award for Exceptional Performance by a Young Actress in 1986.
American Sniper is easily one of Cooper's best movies and the intense physical and technical training he underwent to prepare for his role was rewarded with a Best Actor Oscar nomination. Interestingly, Eastwood was not the first choice for director, and he only landed the job after Steven Spielberg dropped out, but he clearly had a connection to the subject matter and this, combined with Cooper's intense performance, led to an exceptional piece of cinema.
Politics and sport are an unusual movie combination, but Eastwood manages to pull it off in Invictus. The film offers an eye-opening look into the aftermath of Apartheid from a variety of perspectives, while engrossing the audience in the inspirational story of a group of athletes that came together to help unite a nation in turmoil. Freeman and Damon received Oscar nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting and their performances alone are worth watching.
