The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly [DVD] [1966]

I'm gonna give this 5 stars just for the music alone. Gotta be one of Ennio Morricone's best scores. As the film reaches its finale with the 3-way Mexican standoff, we hear the beautiful voice of Italian singer Edda Dell'Orso launch into 'The Ecstasy of Gold', one of the most iconic themes in movie history. 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' is a long film, coming in at around 161 mins, but Morricone's skill at evoking moods and feelings will get you involved in the story (set against the backdrop of the American Civil War) and may even bring a tear or two to your eyes.

I just received the item today, and I only have had time to watch the 181 minute "all in" 4K cut of the movie and I couldn't be happier about it. This is the definitive release of this great movie. Amazon finally shipped my copy more than a week and a half after the release date, having pre-ordered it in June, and apparently, this has fast become a highly sought out hard to find product. I look forward to watching all the extras and the Sad Hill Unearthed documentary. the 3 Arrow 4K releases of the Dollars trilogy is easy one of the best sets in my vast collection. Sound and image are top notch and extras are plentiful. Well worth the money.

Best Western ever.

This 4K UHD Blu-ray of The Good ,The Bad And The Ugly is a great looking product rendered on disc to a very high level - very clear , sharp image and with the opportunity to view the film not only with the theatrical version but also with the extended version , which is about 17 minutes longer than than the theatrical print. - Excellent.

A great Clint film. Good sound and picture quality too. Essential buying for all Clint fans.

Great picture Great sound hardly no grainyness picture clear as any thing altered picture settings picture sharpness and hue excellent picture

Wonderful restoration of a classic. A must for any avid film collector.

OK you may have read about the transfer. I watched this on my Samsung 1080P projector and the image was 14ft diagonal. As such the screen blisters with detail you have never seen on previous releases. There has been much debate about the new grade. Although an assistant on the film was involved I think that the colour is off as the sky looks green not blue in certain shots and the white on the titles is yellowed. However, I was able to pay with the colour values on the projector and return the image to something I would approximate as "natural". I admit this is "My" interpretation and it worked for me - you may like the new colour palette. Once this is done, the film looks AMAZING. Its a great movie anyway and seeing it so crystal and sharp - far better definition on detail than the previous release - really made the screen come alive The extras and menu are just lazy. They are ported over from the original version and I would have hoped that Clint and Eli could have been coaxed to record a commentary even if it were separately and edited as a single track As they are both alive and very lucid its a massive opportunity wasted and probably the last time they will be able to get them. I saw Eli at a screening of the film in 2006 and he stated "I have never been asked to do a commentary - I don't know why?" 8 year son and he still hasn't apparently? If you don't own the movie in HD buy it NOW. If you do its worth a double dip if you can live with the new colouring or change your display manually. All of this is from my point of view if you disagree fair enough I will accept your opinion. Please accept mine as mine.
