Steve Oerkfitz recommended this 50th Anniversary Special Edition Blu-ray so I went out and bought it. Steve is right! This new edition is superior to the other DVD and Blu-ray versions I own of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966). It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. And, this package is full of great Special Features! Check them out. What’s your favorite Clint Eastwood movie? GRADE: A
