The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) - Page 6 - Blu-ray Forum

AKORIS · 06-07-2011, 08:07 PM

of course, I remember OUTLAW JOSEY WALES being at my local theatre at the time as well....

interesting memory on that-- I was 12 years old and I was ticked that I couldn't go see it cause the theatre put it on a double bill with the R-rated Magnum Force!

Tell me about it. I went to see The Outlaw Josey Wales the day it opened in July of 1976. Now we are celebrating it being 35 years old. Now Unforgiven is approaching 20 years. Both films hold up and are worthy of the admiration.

Did you order it from CH to fulfill an account?

FedEx dropped mine off a little while ago. 18 bucks +tax, Borders, baby!

Jimbo976 · 06-07-2011, 09:44 PM

My copy showed up today as well. It's still western week at my house. I got Rio Lobo, Big Jake, and The Outlaw Josie Wells today. I still didn't get all the way through Once Upon a Time In The West yet either.

Would like to have the Digibook, but no B&M had it for less than $30. Got the Walmart version for $15.

Man, I haven't even seen this, and the BD.com review is so awesome! The movie is obviously a great piece of cinema just by the screenshots. The reviewer recommends blind-buyers, and I'd blind-buy any Clint Eastwood western. Although I haven't seen much. I haven't even seen High Plains Drifter.

But I had this on pre-order since the moment it was available, because I already knew I was gettin' one of Eastwood's best (thanks, IMDb).

Btw, I'm 20.

Eastwood westerns I own and seen on blu-ray (neither in theaters):
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
For a Few Dollars More
A Fistful of Dollars
Unforgiven
Pale Rider
Hang 'Em High

I'm also a Dirty Harry fan and love Gran Torino. Million Dollar Baby needs proper BD treatment (am I right?). Love The Gauntlet and Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can. Also seen Changeling and Mystic River. I'm a bit hesitant to check out Invictus and Hereafter though... May rent Hereafter sometime. But there's plenty older ones I haven't checked out. I'm actually kinda holding out a bit on checking out those that aren't on blu-ray just so I can blind-buy the most promising ones and see them for the first time on blu-ray. But I still gotta do one at a time. So glad this is getting such a great treatment, that way it will be that much more awesome when I finally see it for the first time. But, of course, keeping my expectations at a reasonable low.

Excuse me, I'm still young...

Got mine last yesterday (Monday) along with all my Tuesday releases, but I haven't watched it yet.

erock515054 · 06-08-2011, 02:40 AM

Just got done watching it and all I can say is WOW for the PQ,AQ, the extras, and of course the movie itself enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KenS · 06-08-2011, 03:08 AM

I just bought non-digi at Walmart, Riverview, FL for $15

LastRide · 06-08-2011, 03:47 AM

I got my digi-book for $16.99 at HMV. I had to buy another Blu-ray title for $12.99. No big deal since there were a few titles I need to buy. I picked up Tommy Boy.

Jayrcee · 06-08-2011, 05:58 AM

So the $15 Walmart version is the same content wise as the digibook release, minus the book packaging, correct? It isn't gimped in any way like the Walmart exclusive The Exorcist was?

I got my digibook yesterday, and watched it last night - looks & sounds terrific! And I just got back from Walmart and picked up a copy of the Walmart non-digibook for an online friend in the UK. Yes, the movie & extra feature specs are the same, the only difference is the packaging. For $10 less if you don't care about the digibook the Walmart version is a good deal. I got my digibook for $18+ tax, so I'm good with it.

Hunk Golden · 06-09-2011, 04:46 AM

Got mine from Border's 50% off sale today.

I had to come back.

I know.

Watched yesterday. Incredible. 5/5 PQ and SQ.

Oblivion138 · 06-10-2011, 08:33 AM

My God, what a transfer. I felt like I'd never seen the film before. The detail is excellent, but it's the colors that really stand out. And there's far more depth to the image than I ever would have expected. DVD transfers have tended to make this film look relatively flat , especially compared to this new BD presentation.

In a word, stunning.

Jimbo976 · 06-10-2011, 12:33 PM

I finally watched this all last night. The PQ and AQ are amazing and the movie itself is timeless. I never would have guessed it was made 35 years ago.

3DinAK · 06-12-2011, 03:29 AM

got mine the other day.I'm surprised it's rated PG.Thought for sure maybe rated R.
