A quick overview of the new "Clint Eastwood- 8 Movie Collection" from Universal UK. Contains several titles new to bluray- 'Play Misty For Me', 'The Bequiled', 'The Eiger Sanction' etc...
Region-free :thumbs-up-smiley:

It is a nice set I had it pre-ordered and was dying for the set to get here imported from Amazon UK and it was worth it. KInd of surprised it wasn't announced for a U.S. release date yet. I am glad I didn't hold out for the U.S. release. Play Misty for Me and all the titles IMO look good. I can't imagine them looking any better.

The UK set does not contain COOGAN'S BLUFF, but does contain BREEZY, which Eastwood directed but did not star in. It's a trade-off.

The UK set DOES contain 'Coogan's Bluff'- you can clearly see it in the video. I think you may be confusing the UK boxset with the German set which I believe may have a different selection of movies.

Powell&Pressburger · Oct 10, 2014

I think it is the German Set that doesn't contain Coogan's Bluff. I have the UK set and it has all the titles that are shown in the video.

Also I loved BREEZY the story was slightly different then where I imagined the storyline would go and how the subject matter was handled. It is a good film IMO worthy of being part of this collection. Universal should have called it the Clint Eastwood Complete Universal Studios Collection.

Yes, as a huge Eastwood fan I am thrilled to own these titles- his films never seem to age! Watched 'Misty' last night and very happy with picture quality.

Well, another idiotic oversight -- I actually bought the German set, which contains only six movies: BREEZY, THE EIGER SANCTION, PLAY MISTY FOR ME, BEGUILED, TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA and JOE KIDD. It's missing only COOGAN'S BLUFF, and I already own HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER. Plus, it was cheap.

AshJW · Oct 11, 2014

That's correct, the German set misses COOGAN'S BLUFF because of the rightholder (it's Koch), and HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER because of it's banned* status.

*
well, banned is probably the wrong term. We call it "indiziert", which means it's not verboten but also not a regular 18-years-rated-movie (something inbetween, weird, I know

)

For anyone that is interested in standalone versions of these films, they are being released in Greece on February 20th.

Strange that I don't see individual Blurays in any other part of the world.

Not sure about the region, though I bet they will be the exact same Blurays in the UK set, which are Region Free from what I know.

They are now up from pre-order in Scandanavia through CDON.COM. Here's the link to "The Eiger Sanction" (the others are all available too, just search the titles):

Hopefully, a UK (or preferably US) release of the singles will be coming soon as I already own most of these and don't want to buy the whole set with duplicates.

On sale $36 USD

The US set releases May 5 with 7 titles (Breezy is missing) and priced at $76.34.

I think I'll keep my UK set
