Which Dirty Harry film is the best?

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I’ve seen them all but it’s been probably 20 years since I’ve done a watch through of them all with my Dad, and for the life of me I cannot remember a thing about the Enforcer or Sudden Impact at all.

 

[AFanNotAFighter]

Dirty Harry by far. Probably couldn't be made today either.
Magnum Force would be next and the rest are garbage.

Aside from Clint's iconic line like they are kind of average films

 

[Yorick]

His films defined the genre IMO.

Shot on location in SF and surrounding environs, some of which I worked security for, overtime pay of course, scripting sometimes deficient sure but overall results net plus.

 

[Highway99]

Andrew Robinson is legendary in Dirty Harry.

 

[Gene Tunney]

Turner networks (it could have also been WGN) would broadcast Dirty Harry marathons all the time. The first three are great. Totally 70's. The first film in particular has an unforgettable tone.
