Found it at Wal-Mart for $10.00. DN, FRWL and GF. I thought it was just the 1 movie disc of the UE packages which is OK with me since I already have the SEs for the extra features. However, it turned out be the 2 disc UEs for basically $3.33 each! :D

First four Dirty Harry movies in a bundle. Apparently the third one wasn't scored by Lalo Schifrin. I'm preparing myself to be let down on that one.

THE ENFORCER was my least favorite when I did a Harrython years back. It felt like a two-hour movie trimmed down to a 90-minute movie.
But this is fun.

KISS ME DEADLY and THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER arrived.
On an impulse I checked the prices on the Star Wars DVDs from 2006. Got a new ROTJ for 16. That's one down. I feel bad that it's new, but the cheapest used one was 28. I just gave Lucas some money. I hate myself.

I used to be really really bothered by generic chase music that didn't hit action beats, and ENFORCER was my example of that (until NEVER SAY NEVER came along.) But ENFORCER's musics, by WILD BUNCH/SPECTRE OF THE GUN/TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES composer and blacklist survivor Jerry Fielding, has really grown on me over the years. The movie has too, I wound up rewatching it a couple days ago.
I don't know why movies that rated as 2-1/2 out of 4 when I was 16 and weren't worth a second viewing are now things I can give a 3/4 to and watch every 18months or so.

Reminds of Herbie Hancock. I like.
That said, what Lalo had a knack for was fusing avant garde with jazz / funk. That always brought a sense of danger to the action (i.e. Shifting Gears or Scorpio's View) that Jerry's score lacked.

CITIZEN KANE on Blu (which came with MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS on regular DVD).
I haven't popped in AMBERSONS yet, but CITIZEN KANE looks amazing.

The Man From Uncle Complete TV series. Amazon knocked the price down from $155.00 to $77.00 for one day only, so I pounced. Glad it comes with an official Uncle briefcase, in case I have to go on any missions. This collection shall sit proudly on the shelf with my classic original Bonds, Flint and Helm, complete collections. Now if I could just find a decent price on the Avengers series, my life would be complete.
