26. Gran Torino

All you need to know is that Clint Eastwood fucking tears through this movie. He gives one of the best performances ever. This movie would be an all time classic if fucking ANYONE else in the movie showed up. The other two main roles are terribly acted. In fact, to be fair, only Clint Eastwood shows up in this movie, except for maybe the barber's role.

8/10

As my brother put it...this movie is a borderline comedy due to the racist statements. Too funny. Movie would be 10/10 if Eastwood actually cast somewhat decent actors in the other roles.

From now on, I will keep track of the best performances/movies.

1. Val Kilmer in Tombstone
2. Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven
3. Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York
4. Heath Ledger in Dark Knight
5. Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino
6. Choi Min-Sik in Oldboy

2. Jaws
