| Do you ride scooters or have you had an
interest as to why so many scooters are running around lately? Scooter sales
have skyrocketed over the last few years with no end in sight, and for good
reason. Scooters today offer everything most could want in a motorcycle and
more; highway speed, ease of use, comfort, weather protection, great fuel
economy, low insurance costs and the list goes on. Scooters are converting
many non-riders, luring them from their cars to the more practical and
adventuresome scooter. Free

 Why
promote scooter travel? Somehow our society has come to embrace large,
expensive, and less fuel efficient vehicles. Even motorcycles have become less
practical as they get more outrageous with huge engines. Consequently, scooters
have become one of the last motor vehicles that's still easily affordable to
purchase.

Bought this as a gift for my husband as this is his favorite Western. Love the bonus disc!...
I LOVE Westerns, and this is by far my all-time favorite. Here is America's greatest movie genre, the Western, writ large, with three (count 'em) three gunslingers who rise to mythic proportions: William Monie (Eastwood), Little Bill (Gene Hackman), and English Bob (Richard Harris). It's got it all: sex, violence, some tenderness and even plenty of humor. Great lines, and the best shoot-out at the end I've ever seen. I have to grab a bowl of popcorn and turn off all the lights for the last 15 mi...
Clint Eastwood directs and starts in 'Unforgiven' He does a great job with both roles.
Clint plays William Munny, a long retired gunfighter. Munny settled down years earlier with his wife and children. Times are rough. Now widowed, he is struggling to get by and raise his two kids. In the midst of this, the son of one of his old cohorts finds him and lets him know about a large reward for killing two thugs who disfigured a prostitute. The other women who she works with pooled th...
I wrestle with my mind wondering whether this is the second greatest westerb ever made or just where it sits or whether one should divide quality ratings by time period.
I'll just go the simple route and say that in my opinion Clints movie, The Unforgiven, sits only behind Fords, The Searchers, as the greatest western ever brought to film.
I screwed up and bought the DVD after seeing the movie "in house". I should have forseen the development of Blu Ray and waited. Now I am fighting w...
I always fan from Clin Eastwood Movies and here in Monterrey, Mexico is hard to find special editions , only under order and is always is the double priced. But this is my first buy from amazon and recomended a lot, the time arrival estimated was by 1 month , and i receive my DVD in only 4 days , amazing ,specially from this seller, SO have the security of you receive your product any place in Mexico or Latin America.
Gracias....
One of the best movies of all time.
It's gritty and its not afraid to show it.
It's much more realistic than the typical draw in a millisecond and shoot ten guys in the eye at 1000 yards kind of movies.
It showed that not all heros are perfect and that there is weakness in even the strongest of men. It even showed that even scumbags have a likeable side. And, it even showed that sometimes a tough guy image is just a cover to hide vunerabilities.
This...
The combination of Eastwood, Hackman , Freeman and Harris make this one of the greatest westerns ever filmed. The Acting, Script and Cinematography are superior to almost any western I can think of. Great story with plenty of tension, action and memorable lines. Eastwood's best work in my opinion but Gene Hackman steals the film as the hardnosed sheriff of Big Whiskey, Wyoming....
It don't better than this - everyone in this game contributes to a great cinematic experience that deserves all the praise and appreciation 99.9% of the reviewers here share - GO CLINT et ALL - thanks for a movie i will watch repeatedly and remember one has to accept one's past while having the courage to face the future - making the best of each as circumstances require. Makes one reflect on his/her own path through life and the consequences/effects it has on one's chance of survival in this d...

The scooter
- the short history of a cultural icon
The scooter was invented in 1947 as a low cost alternative to the
automobile in war-ravaged Europe ?it was designed as transport for the masses
and it caught on so quickly that it became one of the great transport phenomena
to sweep the world in the 20th century. The Vespa was the result of Enrico Piaggio's determination to create a viable
alternative to the automobile for the masses. As the war drew to a close, Enrico
studied every possible solution to get production in his plants going again.

Wow, what a transfer. The feature film quality of Unforgiven is flawlessly maintained in this release. The source is perfectly clean; all colors, as well as blacks, are pure and natural. There is a drastic increase of detail from the standard DVD. Every wrinkle on the actors faces shows up and in this film there are quite a few wrinkles to look at. (High Definition never looks so real and stunning as when it is fed all the details of an aging face.)
Unforgiven was shot on film ...
Despite the fact he's one of the most respected actors/directors around, the films that I've seen him direct haven't really been that good for me. I despised Mystic River and I didn't get why there was so much love for Million Dollar Baby. However, most people will just end up saying "well then watch Unforgiven" so not being one to dismiss something outright, I thought sure, why not? Well I don't regret it one bit. While it's certainly a different western than others I've seen, that's kind of wh...
My favorite movie of all time. My dad shared this one with me, one of the closer moments in our relationship was watching this together. Incredible pic....
This movie is my favorite of Clint Eastwood's films. It is certainly one of the best westerns ever filmed as well. As others have already written, it is dark, rich in both visuals and in characters. Eastwood's character is really a anti-hero lost in who he is and seems to be looking for a bit of redemption.
Totally worth every penny. I was fortunate enough to have been working at a theater when this movie was released and for the many nights, weeks, and months that it was shown, I wat...
Because my husband likes this movie so much, purchased for a friend who also likes it. Don't make movies like this too much - too bad. ...
outlaw turned bounty hunter... some old tag line... but this movie stands out because of it's dark atmosphere, great acting, and realistic action sequences.
When I want to sit and watch a serious, adult western... this is it.
It makes you think about all the aspects of life, and all the different times of your own life, like how cocky you were when you were young, how many bad things you might have gotten away with, how powerful you can still be if you had to, and what li...
This is a magnificent film. Clint's best wild west flick since his work with Leone. It's such a different sort of film though. It is much more moral, in the same vein as High Noon. Gene Hackman's performance is also phenomenal and really makes the film, especially in the final confrontation. I'm kinda a sucker for special editions, but this special edition is certainly worth it. The 2nd disc is loaded with interesting featurettes which is just what I expect and want from special editions. I hate...
The dark message comes through in this Eastwood creation of classic western genre. It is a foreboding and frightening tale of a bad man turned good then returning to his past - or is it that his past is coming back to drag him down again? The cynicism is thick in the theme that there is no one good. And even the bad are in for more than what they bargained for in this hard-hitting gun-slinging action drama. If you enjoy the do-good classics, you may not like this film which is a little hea...
