Make Sure You Buy It.
These 3 films were the first 3 westerns I ever watched and boy was I impressed. I never even liked westerns before I watched the famous "Spaghetti Westerns". The acting is great, cinematography spectacular and the music is well-crafted. My only complaint is the clean-up on the pictures during the transfer to DVD but it has little impact on the overall quality...

Warning. No Surround Sound
I am a great fan of these movies, but was disappointed that the DVDs don't have surround sound. Sound only comes out of my Sony system's center speaker. Thought I'd warn you in advance of your purchase...

Make Sure You Buy It., Avril 7 2004
These 3 films were the first 3 westerns I ever watched and boy was I impressed. I never even liked westerns before I watched the famous "Spaghetti Westerns". The acting is great, cinematography spectacular and the music is well-crafted. My only complaint is the clean-up on the pictures during the transfer to DVD but it has little impact on the overall quality and enjoyability of the movies themselves. After watching these 3 excellent and well-written films I watched Hang Em High which was also another excellent western with Eastwood. So buy these 3 films in an affordable 3-pack. Well worth your time and money.

'Odd Job' Blondie, Aoû 2 2008
This is a must-have collection for any man, or any lover of film. Sergio Leone invented the so-called "spaghetti western" -- Mexican western -- with this trilogy. Eastwood became a Hollywood star thanks to the huge boost that these Mexican films gave him. The movies introduce a silent, intelligent American drifter with a lightning-fast draw and dead-on accuracy, plus a knack for getting in over his head and back out again. The films are often remembered for their stunning dramatic effect, but it should be noted that Leone had a witty sense of humour and if you watch these films carefully you should be delighted by it. Right down to the fact that the boys in his films are pretty-faced and the adults are worn with wrinkles; the tragedy of adult sacrifice. His satircal edge and drama are as well balanced as the elements of realism and tall tale. As fun to watch as they are striking in believability, as sorrowful as they are touching, this is a classic series not to be missed!
On this package, two of my DVDs were actually from the "Best of Eastwood" collection. I don't know if this was a mistake in packaging or if they ran out of the right kind. But the visual quality seems good, and so I am satisfied with the error. With the collection as I received it, there are no real extra features as such. The eddition of prieviously edited out scenes was a mistake; they were taken out for good reason. They are great to see, enjoyable for a real fan of Leone's like myself, however I would have liked it better to have had a version of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" without those scenes in it.
But to have three of the best westerns ever made ("The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" being THE best), I am happy.

The greatest westerns ever made - all in one box set, Fév 19 2004
Sergio Leone's "Man with No Name" trilogy is classic. It made both Leone and composer Ennio Morricone famous, elevated Clint Eastwood into stardom, and invented the "spaghetti western". Now western fans can own the entire series in one DVD set. The series begins with A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, the classic western that introduced us to Morricone's rolling, whistling score that is now associated with the genre; Clint Eastwood's cool performance of the lone stranger who takes down two feuding small town gangs; and Leone's masterful direction. Then we move on to FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, in which Eastwood teams up with an old army colonel (Lee Van Cleef) to capture the bounty on an escaped prisoner. The series ends with THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, undoubtedly the greatest western film ever made. Eastwood is flawless, Morricone's score classic, the action terrific, and Leone's direction extraodinary; you are absolutely glued to the TV screen throughout the entire 2 hours and 40 minutes. Cinema lovers everywhere and anywhere will not want to miss out on this excellent collection of the greatest western masterpieces of all-time.

A great Gift for the man in your life, Déc 4 2003
If you have a hint that your guy loves Clint Eastwood, then this is the perfect gift. I can assure you even the guy that has everything will be happy to see this gift rather than a tie or another shirt.
The combination of movies offered in this gift set is just right for the true ole Clint fans.
Highly recommended

Man With No Name trilogy needs a make-over, Nov. 30 2003
The trilogy of westerns made by Sergio Leone during the early to mid-60's are among the best of the so-called spaghetti westerns produced. Leone's unique cinematic vision and his unusual use of the camera (a bit of trivia Leone never storyboarded his films. Unlike Hitchcock and other major directors he had it all in his head)make these films unique and powerful. Leone was the first foreign film director to make self reflective movies; i.e., his westerns were really about the classic western films he grew up loving with a post-ironic twist. You can read about the plots elsewhere as I want to concentrate on the major drawback (and the benefits)of these DVDs; Both Fistful and more are presented in their widescreen aspect radio. Since Leone's films benefited from the widescreen format and vistas, seeing them in a pan and scan version doesn't do the films justice; it's like listening to a great piece of music through a portable radio with poor reception. You get the gist of the music and feel that's powerful but it lacks the full impact and range. The films exhibit a high amount of analog artifacts. Portions of More also look quite faded. Both films deserve and require a restoration similar to that performed for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (although the version included here is not the restored version). Both discs also include both pan and scan and widescreen versions of the films. There's also theatrical trailers and booklets with background on the making of both films. The soundtrack sounds flat and thin--given the way the original soundtracks were mixed and released that's not a surprise. Still, if the original elements still exist it would be worthwhile to revisit these films, restore and then remaster them with a commentary track (similar to that for Once Upon A Time in The West). They don't look horrible but it's clear that the negative is either in poor condition or the prints used were not pristine. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly looks and sounds better than the other two films in the series. It also benefited from a much larger budget and shooting time which is to the benefit of the film. The acting is stronger (Eastwood returns as does Van Cleef joined by the scene chewing Eli Wallach in a marvelous turn as "the ugly"). THis version features a number of scenes cut for both the International and US version. While the scenes aren't restored (and my copy didn't even had the advertised "Italian" dialogue track but was silent), they provide an interesting background as to the motivations of the characters. TGTBATU looks still has a fair amount of analog artifacts but not quite as bad as the first two. The sound is slightly better although still thin (again, it was recorded and shown in mono. Remember, this was the early 60's). Leone's direction and visual flair are more in evidence on the third film of the series. Here's hoping that MGM will get around to re-releasing the restored version that showed earlier in the year. Reportedly, Eastwood and Wallach re-recorded their dialogue (which might explain why the tracks are silent--it's clear that the dialogue tracks must be missing or incomplete)and they had a sound alike for the late Van Cleef. While all three films are essential western classics, all three are marred by a variety of analog flaws. Their still worth having but I'm hoping with the advent of reissues like Once Upon a Time in The West, that all three will get a face-lift and second chance on DVD. It also wouldn't hurt to provide some interesting background on the making of all three films. Eastwood and Wallach are still around as are various crew members/actors from the original productions. Let's hope it gets done! Oh, and by the way, the Man with No Name did have a name in at least two of the three films here. That Man With No Name aspect was a marketing ploy dreamed up by the original studio (United Artists) to sell the films later on down the line.

Good Western Trilogy., Oct. 8 2002
A FISTFUL OF DOLLARSWhile the plot can be a little confusing at times (I had to watch it twice to understand everything), this is a well-made western, with great music and lots of action. One day a mysterious stranger rides into a town, in which a conflict is ocurring between two families, both of which want the other out and to rule the town. The Stranger takes up a job with one of the families, the Rojos. But thanks to his quick wit & quick draw, he ends devises a plan that will destroy both families. The main thing that bugs me is that the DVD sound is so lousy that I need to set it up so that it has English subtitles at the bottom. Otherwise, you can't understand a word anyone's saying!
Rating: 3 outta 5 FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE A step up from the first one. This time, the Man With No Name (now a bounty hunter) forms a partnership with an old adversary of his, in order to track down a ruthless killer. Plenty of plot twists, more first-rate music by Ennio Morricone, and again plenty of action. (Plus: I don't need subtitles with this one!)
Rating: 4 outta 5 THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY A true "epic western", that by far surpasses both of the previous two. This time around, the Man With No Name has a smooth-going parntership with Elli Wallach. They soon learn of a cache of $200,000 in gold hidden somewhere, and set out to find it. But another man is also searching for the money (Lee Van Cleef). The movie is full of betrayals and re-partnerships, and more betrayals, until all three men meet up in a spectacular climactic showdown. An excellent western, with absolutely brilliant music. One of the five greatest westerns ever made, as well as the most influential.
Rating: 5 outta 5 Overall, this is perhaps the best western series ever made. True, to non-western/non-Eastwood fans, all three films would surely seem boring and overlong (especially the third one). But to fans of westerns and/or Eastwood, this set is definitely a must-buy.

Simply Amazing, Juil 12 2002
Par Un client
These three movies bring a completely new spin to the American west. No longer can you think of westerns as movies with the John Wayne like hero who always does what is right. In these movies, Clint Eastwood is nearly as bad as the men he fights. The camera work of Sergio Garcia provide for some tense moments and classic shots that you can't forget. Added with the music of composer Ennio Morricone, these movies began their own genre, the "spaghetti western" and launched Clint Eastwood's career. The shots of Clint squinting into the sunlight, the cut shots combined with the loud and unusual music of Morricone create some of the most memorable moments in film. For anyone that likes Clint Eastwood or just good, intelligent, and captivating action movies this box set is for you.

good value, Jui 7 2002
good sound, good picture (and even some non-english soundtrack , tres bien, muy bien)
did not rate 5 because master was celluloid, which is good, but celluloid had a few scratches. Hey, MGM guys, never heard about digital remastering ?
(OK, makes it more authentic you might say...)
