Unforgiven / Outlaw Josey Wales

Unforgiven

Unforgiven is a modern classic that "summarizes everything I feel about the Western," Eastwood told the Los Angeles Times. The American Film Institute Top-100 American Movies selection rode off with four 1992 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor (Gene Hackman), and Editing (Joel Cox). Eastwood and Morgan Freeman play retired outlaws who pick up their guns one last time to collect a bounty. Richard Harris is an ill-fated killer-for-hire. And Hackman is a lawman of sly charm...and chilling brutality. Unforgiven is "a Western for the ages" (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times).

Outlaw Josey Wales

As The Outlaw Josey Wales, four-time Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood is ideally cast as a hard-hitting, fast-drawing loner, recalling his "Man with No Name" from his European Westerns. But unlike that other mythic outlaw, Josey Wales has a name - and a heart.

After avenging his family´s brutal murder, Wales is on the lam, pursued by a pack of killers. He travels alone, but a ragtag group of outcasts (including Sondra Locke and Chief Dan George) is drawn to him - and Wales can´t leave his motley surrogate family unprotected. Eastwood´s skill before and behind the camera connected with audiences for its humor and tenderness as well as its hair-trigger action.
