>>Still, I don't think it qualifies as allowing Dirty Harry in this top ten just for one scene. :)<<

Fair enough. I was going mainly on Sudden Impact, so probably shouldn't have said the series. My bad!

I really admire his directorial ethic and how he tends to work only with people he trusts, and he's known as "One Take Eastwood." He rarely does multiple takes.

He's certainly a living legend.
