Also Ran Movie # 2

For the second slot in this selection I have to put The Good, The Bad and the Ugly with Clint Eastwood.  Or it could have been High Plains Drifter, or Hang 'em High, or even For a Few Dollars More!  I have watched these films over and over for the last 35 years or so and never get tired of Clint's steely gaze and gravelly voice.  I also like Lee Van Cleeve when he's in his pipe-smoking, weapons-expert role.  I have a friend whose wife goes away from time to time.  He always heads to the video store -we still have one here in Big Bear - and rents as many Clint Eastwood and Bruce Willis films as he can until she returns.  I assume she doesn't like them much, hence his obsession.
