Clint Eastwood: 20 Film Collection [Blu-ray]

Eastwood Collection: Some Good Films, Poor Disc Packaging
PART 1: THE FILMS

I will start by asserting that I think Clint Eastwood is one of the great actors in the history of film, and in the 1990s/early 2000s he had a nice run as director as well. I am a big fan of his career and admire him as a filmmaker.

Looking at the list of films included, I will say there's really no logic or particular theme to this box set. It's just a mix of films that Mr. Eastwood was involved in - sometimes he's the actor, other times he's the director. There are a large number of his great works included, but there are some glaring omissions as well.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:
- In total, there are 20 feature films included in this collection. Although for those who want to see Eastwood on the screen, it's worth noting that he only appears in 15 of those films.
- All of his prestigious award winners are included here: "Unforgiven", "Mystic River, "Million Dollar Baby", etc.

A solid, but imperfect collection of Eastwood movies
"Clint Eastwood 20 Film Collection" is a 22-disc Blu-ray set containing films both starring and directed by Eastwood. It's a more affordable, if abbreviated, version of the massive 40-film DVD collection tribute released in 2010. The 20 pictures in the set represent both early and later Eastwood.

Eastwood began a relationship with Warner Bros. in 1975 with the signing of a long-term agreement. His Malpaso Productions moved onto the studio's Burbank lot and he eventually went on to win four Oscars and ten nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director Academy Awards for "Unforgiven" (1993) and "Million Dollar Baby" (2005). He has also received five Golden Globes and numerous critics association and Lifetime Achievemnt awards.

Standouts in the collection are "Dirty Harry," "The Gauntlet," "Firefox," and "The Outlaw Josey Wales." These roles illustrate the silent, no-nonsense, tough characters Eastwood specialized in before taking on roles as cantankerous...

Clint Eastwood Gets Insane 22-Disc Blu-ray Collection
There are 20 Clint Eastwood films in this collection along with 2 documentaries [the 90-minute Eastwood Factor Documentary (2010) and the 65-minute Eastwood Directs: The Untold Story Documentary (2013)]. Fans should know there aren't any spaghetti Westerns in this collection. The films are in order of their theatrical debut (the two bonus discs round out the collection). The picture and audio quality vary but overall it is average. Most but not all the films get at least 30 minutes of bonus content. A 48 page excerpt from Clint Eastwood: Master Filmmaker at Work is also included.

The 20 films: A Perfect World, Dirty Harry, Every Which Way But Loose, Firefox, Gran Torino, Heartbreak Ridge, Hereafter, Invictus, J.
