High Plains Drifter:Clint Eastwood takes the directorial reins of his first western (his second film as director following the highly successful Play Misty For Me) with High Plains Drifter, returning to the wild old west and to the familiar role of the iconic 'Man With No Name' established in his acclaimed collaborations with Sergio Leone. Eastwood portrays a mysterious stranger who emerges out of the desert and rides into the guilt-ridden town of Lago. Terrified by a group of outlaws with a score to settle, the residents of Lago hire the Stranger to protect them...but by the time he makes them paint their town red and rename it "Hell", it becomes clear that he is no ordinary gunslinger.Joe Kidd:Joe Kidd sees Clint Eastwood at the top of his form as a western hero in the story of a land war in New Mexico at the turn of the century. Filmed in 1971, Kidd brings together veteran western director John Sturges, the classic backdrop of the High Sierras, the top-notch acting skills of Robert Duvall and the rugged Eastwood as a "hired gun" who takes action based on his own particular sense of justice. And like every classic western, it has gunfights, conflicts and a slam-bang finale which has a locomotive being driven through a saloon where the bad guys are hiding. "There have always been westerns and there will always be westerns", Eastwood said. Joe Kidd is one of the best.
