I agree.
AWWWWWWWWWW I just got this movie a few years ago! So f**king amazing! Maybe I'll pick this up...
I still do not understand why a studio announces a special edition release without any clue as what makes it special.

To make money. Studios always go back into the vaults and release supposedly "special" editions of films to make a quick buck. I haven't seen this film (then again I haven't watched many Westerns) but I'm sure it deserves an SE. You have to love the fact they call it an "Ultimate" Collector's Edition. Sometimes I really hate the way studios market films.

Possibly the greatest western movie ever made. Great acting. Suspenseful.
Just in time for Father's Day.

Glad I waited so long to purchase this! One of the top 3 Westerns of all-time (Unforgiven and Leone's Man with No Name trilogy being the others).

There's already a CE, actually. I own it, in fact. Not 2 discs though.

Why are Gary Cooper & Grace Kelly's names written on the guy's arse?
Agreed- amazing film. I've got it on VHS so I guess this is a good time to upgrade!
YlowBstard, do you have Facebook?
I need to check this out, westerns rule.

Nice cover.
I prefer the 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition cover but as long as the quality of the video, sound and features are upgraded, it's always worth it.
Great western. If I'm not mistaken Lee Van Cliff is also in this one as a member of the gang.

Yes he is in this, and he doesn't say a word. It was also his first film.

Yup, but it's Lee Van Cleef 
Great western with a pretty good score from Dimitri Tiomkin. I hear they're remaking this or at least are in the process of trying to.

Lee Van Cleef kicks ass. John Wayne can suck it, Lee is the man!
C**p, I just got this from Amazon...at least it was less than $10...
Full details added...
I've actually never seen "High Noon" (I know, I should be shot), but I think I'll get this. I'm a little disappointed that there won't be a Blu-ray release, however.
I'm pretty sure "High Noon" was filmed on film, so it can get the HD treatment.

I don't quite understand... What else could it have been filmed on other than film in those days? Any film out there can get a digital release.
Also, are you from Winnipeg? If so, nice to see some locals on here.

Trivia note: Gary Cooper was recovering from a double hernia operation while making this movie.
