Unforgiven / Outlaw Josey Wales [Blu-ray]

This is an excellent deal, two of Eastwood's best westerns in a single package. Each movie gets its own disc and they are loaded with extras. Of special interest on the Josie Wales disc is a thorough "making of" feature with many of the original cast talking about their experiences. You know, as an aside, given that so many of Eastwood's westerns were made nearly 50 years ago, I have a hard time remembering which was which. In fact the only things I really recalled were that in one movie he painted an entire town red and in another he mowed down a bunch of bad guys with a Gatling gun. This is the movie with the Gatling gun. Anyway, among the extra features on the Unforgiven disc is a complete episode of the Maverick TV show from 1960 starring Jim Rockford -- wait, I mean James Garner -- and this skinny young actor who is out to gun Maverick down. Guess who the skinny actor is. Altogether a most satisfying purchase at a good price.

Just replacing two DVD copies with Blu Rays of movies I enjoyed.

Love Clint Eastwood westerns, clear pictureunforgiven / Outlaw Josey Wales [Blu-ray]Double feature

Love both movies especially the outlaw josey Wales.very worth the 12 dollar price point.

Two of Clint Eastwood's best films are on one Blu Ray and the result is stunning. The Outlaw Josey Wales is now obtaining cult status and can stand with the best of the great westerns. Eastwood's renegade Confederate on a mission of revenge against the Northern Vigilantes who killed his family drives this movie as the hunted Josey Wales takes on other misfits searching for freedom and takes them to a classic finish. Unforgiven is his masterpiece. An aging retired killer takes on one last job from a town's "girls" to exact revenge for cowboys that cut one of them up badly. Eastwood contrasts the harsh law of an autocratic sheriff played by Gene Hackman in an Oscar winning performance with the stumbling attempt of a gunman far past his prime who finally enters the town and uses sheer unapologetic violence against dictatorial law. The Blu Ray versions of these two films are the best they've ever been for home viewing. An excellent two for one.

Clint Eastwood never disappoints. The bad guys really should stop messing with him if they value their lives.

Unforgiven is a great story of revenge, remorse and unrepentance. But with the acting of Gene Hackman, Richard Harris, Morgan Freeman, et al, the plot becomes believable: both humorous and terrible. Outlaw Josie Wales is the epic Spartacus standing up against the entire Roman Empire, but set in the post Civil War west and fought with the most beautiful revolvers ever made: the 1851 Colt Navy Conversion. Sandra Locke's insipid acting is nicely countered to Chief Dan George's humor. Would have been better without the tobacco juice.

Would be 5 stars if sellers didn't wait 2 weeks before shipping
