Great move in 1992.

I remember walking out after seeing it in one of the old campustown theaters...the couple in front of me blurted out "WTF was that?!?"

Clearly they were hoping for another Every Which Way But Loose.

Agree that Unforgiven is a classic. But do you really have to bang on Every Which Way But Loose?
 
My favorite western hands down. In a lot of ways it is the anti-western and the anti-Clint stereotype. Then in that last scene in the saloon is pure awesomeness. The scenes between Richard Harris and Gene Hackman are amazing and extremely tense.
 
I first saw this movie in europe in french with english subtitles ...... one of the best westerns.
 
20 years..........

Thanks for making me feel old.

Same here. I have a hard time believing that movie is that old. I thought Clint was getting up there in years way back then and that was probably going to be one of his last movies.

Gran Torino is his best piece of work IMO.

I have to go with Outlaw Josey Wales.

Ain't we gonna bury them fellas?
To hell with them fellas. Buzzards got to eat, same as the worms.
 
I would credit Unforgiven for a revival of the genre in the 90s. The western was all but dead in hollywood until Clint gave us a far more realistic take on it. Pure awesome. Its in my collection right next to the spaghetti western, and The Outlaw Josey Wales. The only thing wrong with TOJW is Sandra Locke.
