Dude, this is my favorite of all Eastwood's movies. I mean my absolute favorite hands-down.
The really funny part is that another one of my favorites, next in line, is the first Eastwood movie I watched with my dad called Pale Rider. Like, he really wanted me to sit and watch that one with him and I loved it but, at the time, didn't quite get it.
Turns out, same formula applies. I had to go back and watch it a few more times before I realized that it's really similar in vibe to High Plains Drifter.
I can definitely see why that's the case. I don't know that this is mine, I'll have to weigh where it stands a bit more and give it at least a second watch before I decide, (to say nothing of still seeing Pale Rider, which is next on my list of must see Westerns) but I can absolutely see how and why it would be your favorite.
Currently my favorite is probably The Outlaw Josey Wales, strictly for how fantastically that story is told. As I weigh things over the next few days, though, I could see High Plains Drifter possibly supplanting it. At the very least it's going to rank highly for me, since it's already proven itself as one of those movies I can't stop thinking about.
