Watching all the Clint Eastwood westerns

Has anyone seen all of the Eastwood westerns? Really been binge watching them lately. Do y'all have any that are clearly above the rest and any that just need to be skipped?
If I had to rate what I've seen:
1.The Outlaw Josey Wales
2.The Good, Bad and the Ugly
These two are in another league
3. Fistful of Dollars
4. Unforgiven
5. High Plains Drifter
6. Two Mules for Sister Sarah
The rest I haven't seen. Planning on Few More Dollars next, followed by Hang em' High. What should follow? Joe Kid, hard to go wrong with anything with Duvall? Let's hear the movie board's expertise.

well, then again, it IS set in San Francisco, so I guess that's "western"
Whatever ones you watch, finish with Unforgiven. That's a fantastic end to his career, and the character honestly could be an aged version of his previous ones.
Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly are basically a trilogy to be viewed in that order, although they aren't technically the same characters. Well, Clint's might be, I think he's "Blondie" in all of them.
High Plains Drifter is different, almost bordering on the occult.

Pale Rider is quite good as well.

Unforgiven is my favorite of Eastwoods films and one of the best westerns ever made.
For me, Josey Wales and TGTBATU are tied for second in his films.
High planes drifter is another good one for me.
The only one on your list that I don't care for is Two Mules for SS.
I guess Pale Rider is missing from your list. Some think it's one of his best, it's one that I like, not love.

For a Few Dollars More is fantastic. Indio is a great villain.

Agreed. Van Cleef is brilliant as well.
And I love the use of the pocket watch music in the climactic scene.

Few more is next. That will complete the dollars trilogy.
Watched hang em high last night. Enjoyed it. Rachel is quite the smoke show by the way...

They are all good but the 2 you listed first are great classics in the Western genre.

I was obsessed with Eastwood westerns as a child/teenager. I own every single Eastwood western known to man on DVD - which I really need to update.
It was so bad at one point that my cousin bought me a Brazilian/Portugese version of Two Mules for Sister Sara because it wasn't available in the US at the time for some reason.

Pale Rider is pretty good.

Joe Kid, hard to go wrong with anything with Duvall?

Damn, didn't know he Duvall could make a bad flick. Loved him in open range. Few more dollars tonight hopefully. Wanted to do pale rider later, hear plot wise similar to high plains drifter.

Joe Kidd is at the bottom of my list too. Just never really got into it.
I think I like Pale Rider more than most here. Not the best but it is near the top.

OJW at the top.
Hang em High is pretty good too.

I don't remember one that I didn't enjoy. I have recently binged on John Wayne films. I like them more now then when I was a kid. That is a time when profanity and nudity were not needed to make a movie worth watching. As a matter of fact, all of the older movies were better because political correctness didn't distort how times really were portrayed.

Imagine making The Searchers today.
Couldn't do huge chunks of the film because people would shite bricks over the portrayal of the Comanche and Wayne's anti-hero being a bigoted former Confederate.
