Dirty Harry, 1971

Who doesn’t love Dirty Harry? For many, this is the definitive Clint Eastwood role. I had already had the man with no name braingrained good and well before watching people kick Harry around. The two personalities are about as opposite as they can get, at least until justice is rightfully served in the end.

There's no question that Callahan uses heavy-handed tactics to get his man (he carries a .44 magnum, "the most powerful handgun in the world"), but he's gotta be when he's up against psychopaths like the man called Scorpio, who's gotta be one of the most sadistically characterized bad guys I've seen on camera.

"Please. I scare easy."
