Every Clint Eastwood Movie You Can Stream Right Now

Eastwood's latest—and his first time acting since 2018's The Mule—is a simple enough story, based on a 1975 novel of the same name. This is basically a '70s-set road trip movie, telling the story of a washed up cowboy—a former rodeo star and horse breeder—who needs to bring a man's son home, away from his alcoholic mother. And along the way—you guessed it—the washed up cowboy and the son bond, and grow close to one another. A vintage Eastwood film—coming out now.

This absolute masterpiece of a Western was almost meta in its characterization of Eastwood as a past-his-prime cowboy; it could almost be taken as a shot, if the person doing the casting (and directing the movie) wasn't Eastwood himself. The plot itself finds Eastwood's cowboy taking on one last job: bringing down a corrupt and violent lawman played by Gene Hackman. Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris also star in this movie which won Oscars for Hackman (Best Supporting Actor) and Eastwood himself (Best Picture and Best Director).

Eastwood first played his legendary 'Man With No Name' in A Fistful of Dollars, directed by legendary Western auteur Sergio Leone. The movie finds his character—an icon of badassery—playing both factions of a small-town battle against one another. It's a classic of the genre.

Eastwood returned as the 'Man With No Name' the following year in For a Few Dollars More, which finds his iconic character teaming up with another lethal bounty hunter, both in pursuit of a sadistic killer and his band of outlaws. Also directed by the legendary Sergio Leone.

The final film in Leone's trilogy is without a doubt the best known, and also without a doubt an epic masterpiece of the Western genre. The movie's long runtime (2 hours and 58 minutes) is made up for with stunning cinematography, performances, and characters. The plot here centers on Eastwood's "Man With No Name" again returning, in pursuit—along with two other dangerous men—of a box filled with $200,000 in cash. If you haven't seen the movie before, you've almost certainly seen numerous references to it in other work.

Eastwood directed and starred in Pale Rider, a western that saw him return to his classic role: a drifter finding trouble in a small town. Here, his character finds a troubled town where a gold baron is bullying the residents into surrendering. And our hero isn't too keen on that. Pale Rider was the highest grossing Western of the '80s.

Eastwood became another of his most iconic characters in 1971's Dirty Harry, which was the first of five times that he played the anti-hero movie cop Harry Callahan. You know the lines. This first one really establishes Dirty Harry, a man not willing to go outside the inept system—and the law—to bring the justice he feels is necessary. This first movie finds Harry taking on a sniper terrorizing San Francisco.

The second film in the Dirty Harry series finds Eastwood's Callahan linking a series of vigilante killings to the SFPD.

Eastwood once again played Callahan in The Enforcer, where he needs to rescue the mayor of San Francisco from a kidnapping plot involving a group with lots of firepower, and using Alcaraz as a base.

The fourth Dirty Harry movie finds Callahan—on leave from the force—in a tricky situation. He finds that a woman who was assaulted by a group of men begins killing them off herself after no justice was taken, and the situation gets even murkier when he becomes romantically involved with her.

The final Harry Callahan movie is The Dead Pool (of no relation to the Deadpool films), which finds a director played by Liam Neeson leading his own pool of people betting on celebrity deaths. A serial killer begins picking off people on the list one by one, leaving you-know-who to get to the bottom of whatever exactly is going on.

Eastwood directed Jersey Boys, which was the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical of the same name. The movie tells the true story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and features a knockout supporting Christopher Walken appearance.

One of Eastwood's rare on-screen appearances in the last 15-ish years, Gran Torino was originally seen as potentially Eastwood's swan song, but he just kept on churning movies out more and more. Torino finds Eastwood as a retired Korean War veteran named Walt who has one love left in his life: his Gran Torino. When a Hmong teenager and one of Walt's neighbors is forced by a local gang to try to steal the car, Walt reluctantly grows close to him. The movie was one of the biggest hits of the 2000s, grossing more than $270 million against its budget of around $30 million.

Gran Torino came out only a few months after Changeling, a compelling mystery based on true events. The story here is quite the hook: a woman (Angelina Jolie) has her young son go missing, before being told he's been found. When she's horrified to learn that this child that's been found is not her son, she's gaslit and eventually sent to a psychiatric ward. Eastwood directed the movie from a script written by J. Michael Straczynski, who is also well known for his time writing comics.

Eastwood directed (and composed the score!) for Mystic River, a crime thriller mystery based on Dennis Lehane's novel of the same name. The story here follows three childhood friends (Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, and Tim Robbins) who grow up in different directions. When one of their daughters is murdered, another one becomes a suspect—and the third, now a detective, is left to investigate. Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor for the movie, and Tim Robbins won for Best Supporting Actor. It's a truly compelling—and heartbreaking—movie of its form.

Eastwood directed and starred in Million Dollar Baby, a boxing movie that's undoubtedly one of the very best of his late career. Eastwood plays a trainer who helps a contender (Hilary Swank), while Morgan Freeman has one of his very best roles as Eastwood's assistant, a former boxer in his own right. The movie won a plethora of awards (for Best Picture, Best Director for Eastwood, Best Actress for Swank, and Best Supporting Actor for Freeman), and featured smaller appearances for a number of actors we'd soon come to know very well, including Jay Baruchel, Mike Colter, and Anthony Mackie.

One of the most unexpected turns on this list is Every Which Way But Loose, a rare comedy that Eastwood made in which he plays a boxer who is friends with an Orangutan. The movie did not receive good reviews, but was a huge box office success—so much so, in fact, that the movie got a sequel two years lated, titled Any Which Way You Can.

Eastwood stared alongside Richard Burton in Where Eagles Dare in 1968, a war movie about a team of specialists sent to Bavaria to rescue a captured American general.

Based on the novel of the same name, this is far from one of Eastwood's most memorable (or notable) outings. It's also long, at 2 hours and 30 minutes. But if you're interested in a mystery and can look past the presence of Kevin Spacey (who leads the cast along with John Cusack and Alison Eastwood), this could be one to check out.

Nobody is going to mistake Trouble With The Curve for a masterpiece, but it's a perfectly fun baseball movie with a great cast. Eastwood stars (but does not direct) as an aging baseball scout, who goes to scout a young prospect with the help of his daughter (Amy Adams). Justin Timberlake, Matthew Lillard, and John Goodman are among others in the cast.
