Advantages: Two brilliant films in on set, for a reasonable price
Disadvantages: The hours you'll find devoting to learing lines and catchphrases

...The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a film full of well known lines and scene that keeps you on the edge of your seat, followed up by Hang 'em High and you can't go wrong. The most attractive thing about this set for me was the fact that each film is on a seperate disc. For some reason it double sided disks irritate me, and when it comes to such epic films as these, i feel that each deserved their own disc. When watching theses great films you wont ...
