Born in San Francisco, Clint Eastwood was a logger and a gas-station attendant before heading to L.A. in 1955. After some small movie roles he landed the lead in the TV series "Rawhide." In 1964 he returned to the big screen in the low-budget, Italian-made Western "A Fistful of Dollars". The movie was a smash--as were its 1966 follow-ups, "For A Few More Dollars" and "The Good the Bad and the Ugly"

As an actor, Clint Eastwood was now an international star. He formed his own production company and starred in "Hang 'Em High" (1968), "Dirty Harry" (1971), and more big hits. The director's chair was next; many of his '70s successes--such as "Play Misty For Me" (1971) and "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976)--were directed by Eastwood himself. Another directorial triumph was 1992's "Unforgiven", which won Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. He scored big as actor/director/producer of "The Bridges of Madison County" (1995) and "Absolute Power" (1997) and continues to amaze with the breadth of his talent.

Clint's classics--from Westerns to thrillers to romantic dramas--never lose their bite. You'll find all his best right here at Critics' Choice Video, many available on both VHS and DVD.
