Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars more, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly....these films are some of the best ever made, and this boxset brings them together with 3 bonus feature discs to go. The boxset is really nice looking and for its price, id say this is a total bargain, btw gotta mention two things, 1 - Clint Eastwood is a LEGEND 2 - Ennio Morricone's music is...SUPERB
If you liked these films this boxset is for you, if youve never seen these films, buy it cause you are missing out, if you dont like westerns, just buy it anyway! you've gotta love em

To adapt the original story from Japan, a wonderful job done to the story,a lasting impression left on any audience,its tough and brutal way of life shown brings home how the west was opened up.Clint Eastwood gives a thourghly hard hitting performance which is very gripping and not at all boring to the last minute of the film.
Its pitty some one else has not try take up the banner of the 'Man with no Name'in a new spaghetti stlye movie.

A Fistful of Dollars introduces the character played by Eastwood throughout these films -- the characters are absolutely different, story-wise, from film to film, but they are essentially the same roles. Eastwood's 'Man with no Name' is written and acted with such skill and style and subtle humour that viewers will find themselves grinning at the screen and creeping forward in their seats, eager for the next line or the next scene. From the surely legendary scene about Eastwood's character's "mule," to the brutal shoot-outs and the clever, edgy dialogue, every moment of this first film is wonderful.
If Eastwood's character stood alone in A Fistful of Dollars as an inspiring and memorable screen presence, though, he and Lee Van Cleef combine in the aptly-named For a Few Dollars More to create a second film that is far more enjoyable than the first -- and that's saying a lot. The hat-shooting scene between Eastwood and Van Cleef, the planning of the central plot's bank robbery, and a dozen other memorable scenes all culminate in an honestly moving, artistic, and incredibly tense scene between the film's central 'bad guy' -- these films feature no good and bad guys as such, only brilliantly portrayed shades of grey -- and Van Cleef, with Eastwood along too. This is one of the rare films that can be watched again, and again, and will never truly age. It is only really overshadowed by one Western in existence...
... The third film included in this set, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. This is by far the most well-recognised of the three, and it takes a slightly lighter mood than the two earlier films. The entire film is set around the attempts of three characters -- Eastwood's Man with no Name (the good), Elli Wallach's memorable bandit Tuko (the ugly), and Van Cleef's mean soldier (the bad) -- to recover $200,000 in gold from a grave. The story leads the characters through a remarkable number of situations, from the tense, indoor gunfights that made the first two films so exciting, to meaningful scenes set around the Civil War and more clever lines, funny moments, and edge-of-the-seat build-ups than this reviewer has room to list. This time the film culminates in a three-man dance of death of such artistic, nerve-wracking brilliance that it deserves to go down in history as one of the greatest moments of film. It's that good.
The soundtracks of all three films (but particularly the second and third) deserve special mention, making what would have been superb films, legendary ones.

This is Clint Eastwood at his best!, anyone who is a western fan must see these three films. The are just superb. The atmosphere in all three movies is great. The Good, the bad and the ugly might just be one of the best films ever!.
There are some fantastic gun battles, and great lines. The acting is perfect and so is the casting.
3 brilliant films
I hate Westerns; I love this! September 30, 2007

With these superb films there is no way out. You simply cannot dislike them, thus the power of Leones film directing.
I hate westerns. They are the most irritating patriotic example of American cinema; so why do I LOVE these? Well, there is an intolerable amount of anti-characterization and that strengthens the power of the trilogys anti-hero, 'The man with No Name'. The score is haunting and sticks within your grey mind for all time. They characters are brilliant, uncorny hosts that welcome you into their playground of fun and pleasure (Dont expect this anywhere else)
So there is no reason in the world not to buy this box set. Fistful of Dollars, Few Dollars More and the lengthy titled; Good, the Bad and The Ugly are all equally epic and adorable. Clint Eastwood is at his highest here and memorize all the classic scenes.
When making a Western, I would just ask the Italians...
