Space Cowboys (2000) - Clint Eastwood as an aging astronaut - who knew?

A great ensemble cast and an interesting story line. Donald Sutherland provides the Canadian content. One other fact - directed by none other than Clint Eastwood!

Trouble with the Curve (2012) - Clint Eastwood in a sports drama as an ailing baseball scout. The "curve" could either be a reference to the game or his daughter - you decide!

Victor/Victoria (1995) - Helps if you think of it as a coming out party for Julie Andrews' breasts! (which you never saw or thought about in either Mary Poppins or The Sound of Music ;) )

A Perfect World (1993) - Directed by Clint Eastwood. He also stars in it as the Texas Ranger chasing a prison escapee played by Kevin Costner. Some think it is Kevin Costner's finest performance. Let's at least agree that "a perfect world" is not "Waterworld" (1995)!

Invictus (2009) - A moving political, human and sports story. Music in the movie was done by the American jass bass player, Kyle Eastwood. Oh yes, one other note...Kyle's father, Clint, directed it.
