"Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"- Unsanitary Harold films
I've recently been getting really into Dirty Harry films again. They are excellent movies. I've watched them all in order over the past few weekends.
My rankings:
1.) Dirty Harry
2.) Magnum Force
3.) The Enforcer
4.) The Dead Pool
5.) Sudden Impact
Some of my favorite lines:
"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" -Insp. Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry)
"Every day for the past ten years, Loretta there's been giving me a large black coffee, today she gives me a large black coffee only it has sugar in it, a lotta sugar. I just came back to complain. Now, you boys put those guns down." -Insp. Harry Callahan (Sudden Impact)
[slowly drawing his .44 Magnum] "Smith and Wesson... and me." -Insp. Harry Callahan (Sudden Impact)
"Go ahead, make my day." -Insp. Harry Callahan (Sudden Impact)
Harry Callahan: Here's a seven-point suppository, Captain.
Capt McKay: What did you say?
Harry Callahan: I said stick it in your ass. (The Enforcer) =))
I also love the music Lalo Schiffrin provided for the series. My favorite song is definitely Magnum Force's theme.
What do you guys think about the Dirty Harry films?

I don't mind the DH films. I think the following ranking will speak for itself...
1. The Dead Pool
2. Dirty Harry
3. Sudden Impact
4. Magnum Force
5. The Enforcer
Why is it, in your opinion, the best?
Sandra Locke appeared in nearly every Dirty Harry movie you could think of, got a bit tiresome in the end, first showed up in The Gauntlet and then appeared in every DH movie after that until the end of time by all accounts, I thought one or two appearances would of been enough. Sudden Impact wasn't too bad though
My favorites would be the original Dirty Harry and that one with Tyne Daly where they go to Alcratraz, can't remember the name of it though. Not really a Dirty Harry series fan or anything, but they did do some good films here and there. Eastwood is, and it goes without saying, a true icon of cinema who has reached legendary status, can't give the man enough accolades for the fine work he has been involved with
The bit from that one that always sticks in my mind is Harry buying her a 99 Flake (or whatever it was) - so un-Dirty behaviour, so to speak. I mean, even Bond didn't go through with his threat to buy Bibi an ice-cream. ;)
For the record, Sondra Locke should have been in every Dirty Harry flick - actually, given how hot she was, she should certainly have been in more movies in general (Clint Eastwood-directed or otherwise). Was a decent actress too - especially at comedy. She was great as the spoilt-little-rich-bit-of-all-right in Bronco Billy...
That made me chuckle. I thank you...
Got it now, and Lacey, not Cagney, was in 'Magnum Force' was it, with Eastwood, I have seen this and it has the ending on Alcatraz, not a bad little movie all said
Most violent one without question is the one with the annoyingly ubiquitous Sandra Locke woman in Sudden Impact I'm sure it was where she goes for revenge on the men who raped her and killed her sister was it, a bit of a gory ride that was, a bit of a messy picture but from what I remember quite a good film, bad guy at the end gets impaled on a unicorn near the end, quite a surreal exit and all
Then Locke, who has killed and massacred about a dozen people during the movie to bloody effect, is simply let go at the end without not even a caution. Bizarre..
I think after that we never saw her again, so that in itself was a bit of a relief
You asked for it...
There can be no better post on this forum surely?
The ending was pure bad ass. "You're out of bullets."
I put it at my 4th favorite.
1.) Dirty Harry
2.) Magnum Force
3.) The Enforcer
4.) The Dead Pool
5.) Sudden Impact
