4 Film Favorites: Steve McQueen (The Hunter / Nevada Smith / Bullitt / Papillon)

Like

Unlike a lot of multi-movie sets, this set has 4 separate discs with color photos on them. They are stacked together on one hub in the case and do not scratch each other. They are very easy to remove and replace. The set of 4 movies is c 2013 pkg. design Warner Bros Ent. LLC & c 2013 Paramount Pictures,distributed by Warner Home Video. Each movie is dual format except The Hunter.Here is the information for each individual move/disc. Where I have "Disc:" the disc shows information that is actually printed on the disc. The movies are all WS and 16x9. Papillon is also 2.4:1. Bullitt, rated PG, English Dolby Surround, 114 mins., c 1968, renewed 1996 Warner Bros Ent Inc, Chad McQueen & Terry McQueen (successors-in-interest to Solar Productions Inc.), Disc 1: only shows c 1968, "no copying" and "US Not Rated." I put this disc in my laptop and it shows that it is Disc 1 of the "Special Edition" set and has the commentary by Director Peter Yates and trailer as well as English & French language and Subtitles in English, French and Spanish: Menu Design and Supplementary Material C 2005 when you click "more" on menu after the languages. (Disc 2, which has additional extra features, is not included, of course.) Note that although the case shows PG rating for Bullitt, the disc shows "US Not Rated." Maybe it became rated after the disc was pressed. Papillon, rated PG, English 5.1 Surround, 150 mins., c 1973, renewed 2001 Filmtransac A.G. Artwork c 1978, Menu & Summary C 1999. Disc: C 2005 Warner Bros. Ent. Special Features include Cast and Crew, "The Magnificent Rebel" (featurette in Full Screen) and Theatrical Trailer. Languages: Soundtracks - English, Subtitles: English, Francais or OFF.The Hunter, rated PG, English Mono, 97 mins., c 1980 Paramount Pictures, Disc: TM & C 2001 Paramount Pictures, also has subtitles: English SDH.Nevada Smith, Not rated, English Mono, 130 mins., c 1965, renewed 1993 Paramount Pictures, Embassy Pictures Corp., and Solar Productions, Inc. Disc: c 2003 Paramount Pictures, CC.I have watched The Hunter only and I thought it seemed to be grainy at first but it was because The Hunter's (Papa Thorsen character) yellow automobile had tiny mud splatters on the lower front and sides at the beginning of the movie.This set is a DEAL, being so inexpensive after being just released this year.

WOW. This McQueen 4 movie set is a BARGAIN at current listed price. Sure, it's not HD quality, but these McQueen movies still present amazingly, as there is only ONE STEVE MCQUEEN... The late great KING OF COOL. I would've loved to have "The Getaway" as part of this 4-movie set, but hey, you can't always get your cake... and expect to eat it, too. My father is a McQueen fanatic, and will love this gift, as it will add to his existing collection of cinema. The next movie I'll purchase from seller will be the documentary about McQueen called: "Steve McQueen American Icon." Then, "The Getaway" is next. Until then, we're popping the popcorn and and starting another McQueen marathon, with this 4-classic set. If you're considering making this purchase - consider no more. Get it. You won't regret it.

The classics:PapillonBullitIt had been many years since I'd seen three of these movies (the two listed above and Hunter. Had never seen "Nevada Smith" (1966). What a pleasant surprise! The story is very good, the direction (by veteran pro Henry Hathaway) is excellent, fabulous support from a collection of seasoned studio pros--two of whom had done other classic westerns (Karl Malden: The Hanging Tree, One-Eyed Jacks; Arthur Kennedy: The Man From Laramie).McQueen? Great performance as a naive, bumbling young "mixed blood" youth. Didn't expect to laugh as much as I did! Which also means...great script!All this and unique sequences: moving cattle up the Mississippi; surviving a punishing Louisiana prison. Watch a travelling gun salesman (Brian Keith) make his own cartridges!

As advertised, great movies, haven't watched them all yet, but no problem with what I've seen.

Bullitt not only rivals that of Vanishing Point dame for car chases, but it has a great cast of actors & great acting to make it a 5 star movie !!! McQueen is still legendary & a man's man who died way before his time sadly :-(.Pappillion was a very well acted movie with McQueen & Dustin Hoffman & the scenery & backdrop with which the movie takes place were well chosen as well as historically accurate.The other two McQueen movies in this 4-pack DVD set, The Hunter and Nevada Smith were good McQueen movies, albeit not his best acting, but entertaining and fun to watch because it's McQueen !!!

Many times when one sees a four pack of movies it is an attempt to use the really good movie as a tool to sell the not so good movie. However, this is not the case with this four pack. These are four truly outstanding movies. There is no "pooch" film in this collection and it is a wonderful bargain. Even though I already had two of these movies, I couldn't pass up the bargain on this four pack and I would highly recommend this collection to anyone who loves good entertainment and a good bargain.

As other reviewers have already stated, this is a fantastic price for a 4 movie set. I purchased it mainly for The Hunter, but it was great viewing all of these classics again. Being a huge Steve McQueen fan I was very happy to add these movies to my DVD collection. Final note - Papillon not only showcases Steve McQueen's acting range, Dustin Hoffman is equally outstanding as Louis Dega.

great selection, good quality
