    For me it's Letters from Iwo Jima (I'm not a fan of Torino at all). I have a huge gap of not seeing his stuff between Torino and Sniper, but I don't feel like I missed much other than a more apparent downward trajectory.
    Ah, right, I liked Letters too. My dislike for Flags overshadowed it I guess. Hereafter and Sniper are horrendous. Sully was one of the more pointless movies I’ve seen, at least outside of the stuff on the plane.

    See, I really liked Flags and I thought Sniper was rather interesting. I dare say, If you cut the doco footage at the end of Sniper and tweaked the ending, it would have been a really good film. Like top ten of the year worthy. As it is, Eastwood can do a war setpiece as good as directors half his age and Bradley Cooper's acting and breakdown at the end is really well done.
