Whether you prefer him as Dirty Harry, Josey Wales, or silent behind the camera powerfully directing Hilary Swank and Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood is a taxonomy unto himself.

Actor, director or both, this interesting and entertaining take on taxonomy was brought to us by The Wire in their article, “The Clint Eastwood Taxonomy: What Are His Best Films as a Director?”
