Blu Ray Recommendations

This boxset had been at the top of my wish list since for some time so when it was included in the Amazon prime day sale i just couldn't resist treating myself to it Every film that Eastwood has either starred in or directed from A Fistful of Dollars in 1961 to The Mule in 2018 are included. All the classics you would expect are here plus some underrated gems ( Tightrope, Pink Cadillac, Bird ) it really is a comprehensive collection, there are 61 films in total plus 2 bonus discs. Although This is primarily a Blu Ray collection there are 7 dvd versions included, (i assume that is due to copyright issues ) but one of them Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is definitely available on Blu Ray so i will just purchase it separately and swap it over.

This should be a must have in any movie lovers library.

I paid £159.99 and it's worth every penny.

I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan from the legendary Dirty Harry movies to his, perhaps more 'under the radar', movies like The Gauntlet (1977) and 'The Eiger Sanction' (1975) which are excellent viewing....I also loved 'Every Which Way But Loose' (1978), 'Any Which Way You Can' (1980) - great humour those movies and 'Heartbreak Ridge' (1986) I also really liked - 'Thunder Bolt And Lightfoot' was brilliant (especially Jeff Bridges), and his westerns such as 'Pale Rider' are timeless classics imo

It sounds like you've bought an excellent box set!!

Damn right its an excellent box set and to paraphrase the great man himself " its made my day " to have it.

Mad Max Anthology

Treated myself to the beautiful 4k boxset of the Mad Max films. Each film comes in its own individual steel book and are stored in a outer steel case. The picture and sound are a big improvement on the Blu Ray versions, especially The Road Warrior. There are nine discs including a bonus disc of extras. I got this as a Zavvi special offer with 25% off, still a bit pricey at £70 but well worth it.

Recommended.

The Matrix: deja vu collection.

Treated myself to another 4k Zavvi box set, this time of the Matrix films. Like Mad Max each film comes in it’s own steel book and are housed in a steel outer case. The picture and sound on each film is superb especially the original, there are both 4k and blu ray versions of each film plus a bonus disc of extras. Zavvi have some of the best steel book collections and this is well worth purchasing even at £70.

Monsterverse 4k steelbook collection.

Another Zavvi exclusive this time featuring Godzilla, Skull Island, King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong. Like the previous two sets each film comes in its own steel book and are housed in an outer steel case. The picture and sound are great especially on G vs K. Picked this up half price in the Zavvi sale, a bargain at £50.

Superman I-IV steelbook collection (4K)

This has been on my list for quite a while and I finally got round to treating myself. It’s a beautiful collection of the Christopher Reeves movies in 4k ultra hd. Each film is presented in its own steel case with an extra steelbook containing a disc of extras along with a replica no1 comic book, photo book and 3d hologram. The picture quality and sound quality is superb, and there are plenty of extras. The whole thing is encased in a steelcase.


A bit pricey at £130 but a superb addition to anyone’s collection.

The Psycho Collection 4k

A beautiful collection of all 4 psycho movies presented in 4k. The picture and sound quality are both superb. There are plenty of extras and the limited edition comes with posters, art cards and a really nice book.

Unlike most franchises the quality of each sequel is actually pretty good, considering the original is one of the finest movies ever made.

At £70 its well worth buying.
