The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Clint Eastwood Collection
- Commentary: Under construction.
I am truly surprised that I don't already own this movie. At the time I purchased this collection, I assumed I did and just shrugged off the fact that I'd now own two copies. But, I see it hasn't been there, until now. I've seen this movie a few times, perhaps more than a few through the years, because, initially, it was one of Mom's favorites, and, once I'd watched it with her, it became one of mine, as well. Plus, as she pointed out every time the movie commenced, "That music is haunting! I can't get it out of my head!"
So, yes, this one I've watched, with and without Mom, and I'm pleased to now have a chance to add a copy of it to my collection.
More later.

For a Few Dollars More - Clint Eastwood Collection
- Commentary: Under construction.
This is yet another in the Eastwood quadrilogy I spoke of in the immediately previous post. No, I haven't seen it, I haven't even received it, yet, but I'll report back once I have.
This might be a good time to (re-)mention (I've spoken of this in another Clint Eastwood movie post, somewhere on this site) that I have been inspired to watch Clint Eastwood movies, et al, let alone his westerns (I wonder if most, if not all, of his movies could, one way or another, be classed as "westerns"; perhaps I'll set out to answer this question, perhaps not) by my maternal Aunt Jean's inordinate love of Clint Eastwood westerns, as well as his movies, in general.
