Clint Eastwood's genius was not just limited to being an actor. Along with this, he also ventured into the territory of the film director. Right now Eastwood has 30 plus movies under his belt. While some did wonders at the box office, others did not so much. But even in the highs and lows of Hollywood, there is one film that the legendary actor is most proud of.

The film is 2006's Letters from Iwo Jima, which was made as a companion to Flags of Our Fathers. Eastwood directed both films himself, but he is more proud of one over the other.

Clint Eastwood's debut film Play Misty for Me was released in 1971, after which he delved deeper into the craft and created several acclaimed films. This helped him earn an impressive 11 Academy Award nominations; he even took four of them home. His first win came from Unforgiven, released in 1993, for which he won two Oscars: Best Picture and Best Director.
