This Week On Blu Ray - The Man with No Name Trilogy
'A Fistful of Dollars' - Clint Eastwood's legendary "Man With No Name" makes his powerful debut in this thrilling, action-packed "new breed of western" from the acclaimed director of The Good, The Bad And The Ugly and For A Few Dollars More. A mysterious gunman has just arrived in San Miguel, a grim, dusty border town where two rival bands of smugglers are terrorizing the impoverished citizens, the stranger soon receives offers of employment from each gang. But his loyalty cannot be bought; he accepts both jobs...and sets in motion a plan to destroy both jobs...and sets in motion a plan to destroy both groups of criminals, pitting one against the other in a series of brilliantly orchestrated set-ups, showdowns and deadly confrontations.
'For a Few Dollars More' - Eastwood is a keen-eyed, quick-witted bounty hunter on the bloody trail of Indio, the territory's most treacherous bandit. But his ruthless rival, Colonel Mortimer, is determined to bring Indio in first...dead or alive! Failing to capture their prey--or eliminate each other--the two are left with only one option: team up, or face certain death at the hands of Indio and his band of murderous outlaws.
'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly' - By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever mounted, The Good The Bad And The Ugly is an engrossing action shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Clint Eastwood returns as the "Man With No Name," this time teaming with two gunslingers to pursue a cache of $20,000-and letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way.

Overall: I am one of those folks who has these westerns on VHS, DVD and yes now Blu ray. This is a classic western trilogy that's a must buy for those die hard western fans, it's Clint at his finest...it doesn't get any better than this. Ithink the Good, Bad & Ugly is by far the best in the series, the spaghetti western is alive in this 3 pack. The blu ray versions are the best yet, pristine conversions and awesome sound, a great add to any collection.
That's "This Week on Blu Ray".
