Two Mules for Sister Sara (Don Siegel, 1970)

7/10
Above-average, entertaining Clint Eastwood Western. Eastwood's character has more of a personality than usual and he has pretty good chemistry with Sister Sara (Shirley MacLaine). Ironic because I just read on IMDB that MacLaine didn't get along with Eastwood during shooting.
Anyway the movie is at its best for the first half when Eastwood and MacLaine's characters are the focal point, once the focus shifts to the capturing of the garrison it becomes less interesting and a bit more plodding...and the "twist" could be seen a mile away (they did foreshadow it heavily) but still, good movie that kept me entertained.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Don Siegel, 1956)

7/10
There wasn't much not to like about this one...the "pods" haven't aged so well but the story is still plausible. I loved at the end where the main character is screaming into traffic trying to get people to stop and then he screams "you could be next!" into the camera. Great quasi-breaking-the-fourth-wall moment. I read they tacked on the scenes in the doctor's office that bookend the movie to make the movie more upbeat which is a bummer because it would have been better without them.
