Aficionado (in my mind) said...

i couldn't agree more with the first choice, the list could easily be a timeline of eastwood's movies. they did get the actor wrong for cool hand luke though.

i would add goodfellas (honorable mention) to the top 5, it is very deserving.

another interesting iconic film left off was rocky...at least one of the films could grace the list in my opinion.
