Clint Eastwood Blu-ray movies: Question!

[mpm74]

I just got done watching THE GAUNTLET, which was pretty amazing. I loved nearly every minute of it.

Here's my question:

I'm thinking about taking a dive into the Dirty Harry movies (which Blu-ray set is the one with the keep case?)... compared to THE GAUNTLET, how do the Dirty Harry movies compare? More grittier? More edgier? Explain.

- I've never seen any of the Dirty Harry movies (yeah, I know, lame huh?)

- I've seen Clint's Spaghetti Westerns (love them all!), but none of his U.S. Westerns (double lame!)

- The only other Clint movies I've seen are Firefox (when I was a kid), Gran Torino, Heartbreak Ridge, and I think that's it...

So, just need some help. As big as a movie buff I am, I have voids that need to be filled.

I do love 70's/80's crime flicks/dramas (Godfather, Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Year of the Dragon, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Straight Time, etc. etc.) However, I thought The French Connection was sorta overrated, so go figure. Just giving you an idea of what I like.

Again, which Dirty Harry collection has keep cases? I'm no Blu-ray snob, I just don't like all these odd boxes n crap (digibooks, fold out box sets, etc).

Thanks in advance! I have subscribed to this thread so I'll be sure and read everyone's suggestions.

P.S. I refuse to pick up the Blu-ray with Dirty Harry/Magnum Force. I don't want another fiasco where I have to wait for the other movies to be packed together/released (ie Bond Collection!) I'm either going to go with the box set or not go with it at all.
