Nothing 'plain' about this movie...'
Advantages: Top western, good measure of violence
Disadvantages: None
...mystery is more so in High Plains Drifter as the plot unfurls and we also see elements of the supernatural, which is also witnessed in his later film, Pale Rider. The movie is wonderfully written by Ernest Tidyman, who also brought us Shaft in the seventies. The dialogue is superb, captivating and capturing the essence of all the movies of this genre – tough, clichéd, cheesy and intelligent. It also stars Verna Bloom as Sarah Belding, Billy Curtis ...
...released in 1973 and lasts for 105 minutes. The direction by Eastwood is pretty good, to say it was only his third venture into this field. I caught this movie again recently and found myself instantly captivated. Although I have watched it numerous times, it has been a while since my last viewing. I found it had dated very little in the last thirty-five years. Not like his Dirty Harry movies – which are still good, but certainly dated. This may ...

Spaghetti Western Heaven
Advantages: All together in a collection, Clint eastwood, the Music, DVD features
Disadvantages: none
This special collection has got to be the best Western colection around. Even if you are not a Western fan particularly, the atmosphere will have you reeled in straight away. A Fistful of Dollars features, of course, the Man With No Name (i.e. Clint) arriving into the dusty town to find two rival gangs at war, the Baxters and the Rojos. Clint cleverly plays them both off against each other. There are great gun battles and some dry humour too from ...
...show downs with close ups of the eyes and mouths of the shooters, not to mention the amazing music. For A Few Dollars More is the sequel, featuring our Clint as a bounty hunter teaming up with another guy in the same line of work, Van Cleef. Both are after the outlaw El Indio, and after pursuing him each alone, stumble upon eachother staking out the El Indio's gang and after a cool moment of sizing eachother up decide to go into league to catch the ...

For a night of epic gun-slinging
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 ...
...your own hat, cheering for the bad and better guys.
This is Clint in his well known form of tough hero, who everyone loves, despite the times where you think he'll do the wrong thing, and even when he does you can't help but cheer him on in all his squinty glory! ...

Clint eastwood's unforgiven is a good mordern western that you want to watch on a sunday afternoon when i'ts poring with rain.It's an exciting classic that won four 1992 academy awards including best picture and best director.

Best western ever
Advantages: The best western ever
Disadvantages: Alittle slow in places
Without doubt I can say this is the best western I have ever seen, Not only does it paint what I would think is a accurate portrail of life in the west but it is also done in beautiful and sometimes thought provoking way. Clint eastwood not only stars but directs and what a job he does in both roles. He paints a picture of a aging gunslinger who needs money to bring up his two kids. Wondering if he has what it takes at his age and without the help ...
