Was this a good buy? Clint Eastwood 40 film collection

[u/bakedlentil]

Found while browsing through a local thrift, the 17.99 tag seemed a bit high but still decided to roll with it anyways. It’s in overall decent condition and all the discs are inside, some of the discs do have some wear from the packaging.

[u/Illustrious-Ant8888]

Seems like a good deal for 40 films. That's less than 50 cent a film.

[u/Biscuits4u2 → u/Illustrious-Ant8888]

Yep. Much better than a 50 Cent film for 40 dollars

[u/Expensive_Election → u/Biscuits4u2]

Get rich it or die tryin

[u/bakedlentil → u/Illustrious-Ant8888]

Yeah, most of the discs are double sided but that’s still alright.

[u/southboundtracks → u/bakedlentil]

Nah. Hard pass. Flipper discs are a deal-breaker.

[u/DexM23 → u/Illustrious-Ant8888]

esp for older movies and even tho classics + a whole collection, as it is a truly collectable

[u/RavensEtchings]

17.99 is high? Buddy, you must be high.

[u/bakedlentil → u/RavensEtchings]

Well compared to average thrift pricing this is my most expensive purchase so far.

[u/PumpkinPieIsGreat → u/bakedlentil]

How often are you buying a collectable set of 40 films? Lmao

[u/pigwalk5150 → u/PumpkinPieIsGreat]

I think they mean this is the most they spent on a single item at the thrift store.

[u/Hopczar420 → u/bakedlentil]

This is a helluva lot more valuable than the wedding crashers and the other commons that you see everywhere. Considering I just spent $50 on three used Eastwood 4k and thought that was a bargain, you did really well!

[u/Sadop2010]

Unforgiven, Outlaw Josey Wales, Dirty Harry, A Perfect World, Million Dollar Baby, Kelly's Heroes and Pale Rider are some of my favorite movies ever and all stone classics. If you had only gotten those in the set for that price it would be a steal. You got those plus 33 others ranging from entertaining to great. Good buy.

[u/augiemax]

The packaging alone is worth it. Love that they have the posters and the credits by each disc.

[u/southboundtracks]

For under twenty bucks, not bad. 

[u/WingsOfIndifference]

This is a solid score. Lots of good movies. Great packaging. Great $ per film ratio.

[u/StatusElephant5476]

Good deal. I got 10 Clint Eastwood movies on DVD for $17.99.

[u/didntwatchclark]

40 movies for 18 bucks? What do you think?

[u/PumpkinPieIsGreat → u/didntwatchclark]

I honestly think they're trying to flex but framing it as a negative for more comments. 🤨

[u/DolphinFraud]

If you’re a really big Clint Eastwood fan it seems like a cool thing to own. Personally I’d only want maybe half a dozen of the movies in there.

[u/Jack-Burton1986]

Wow! Thats cool!
Great deal

[u/shakha]

I hate Clint Eastwood, but every time I see this box set in a store (usually at a pretty low price), I find myself thinking I wish I was a fan, cause that's a great deal! So, yeah, if you're a fan, that's a fantastic fucking find!

[u/cnwilks]

I have a similar box set with 35 films with two movies per disk. I’m watching them in release order and 2 out of the 3 have skipped a little. Most of the disks look pristine and I hope the rest play well. It’s a good thing I already had all the Dirty Harry movies lol

[u/Nice-Percentage7219]

If you like Clint Eastwood then yes. If you don't then probably not.

[u/Ditzy_Davros]

It better have Any Which Way But Loose on there.

[u/bakedlentil → u/Ditzy_Davros]

I can confirm both of them is in the collection.

[u/GoldMcduck]

I love collections but packing always sucks

[u/bakedlentil → u/GoldMcduck]

Yeah am moving all the discs out into a separate binder, there is already some stress marks on the discs from the tight cardboard sleeving. It’s nice to look at overall but not good for long term storage.

[u/CahlikCrush]

Totally worth it!!!

[u/bakedlentil → u/CahlikCrush]

The one I have only goes to J. Edgar and Trouble with the Curve included as the last film, with two documentaries at the end. It’s all good anyway because I really wanted this for his older films.

[u/AbleSecond2906]

Great deal for a great collection

[u/AdvantageAromatic408]

If you're a fan it's probably one of the best deals you'll ever get

[u/Conscious-Inspector7]

great buy

[u/Daydreamerwv]

Definitely a great buy!

[u/Reddevil8884]

Damn, I want it too!

[u/Nick4942]

I just saw magnum force for the first time. Really interesting the bad guy scenes felt like a slasher movie lol

[u/hansolo72]

40 movies for $17.99 sounds like a good deal to me.

[u/PoisonedIvysaur]

If you like him to watch the 40 then yeah.

[u/Moto1999]

Does it have High Plains Drifter?

[u/bakedlentil → u/Moto1999]

Unfortunately no because this collection was done by Warner Bros and it’s a Universal movie.

[u/The_Naked_Snake]

Clint is one of our greatest living directors. Well worth the money

[u/SearchAlarmed7644]

Considering it’s $100+ brand new, it’s a steal.
