Even with all his accolades, I'm not sure Clint Eastwood gets all the attention he deserves -- especially as a filmmaker. Thankfully, Warner Bros. is helping to honor the man with a 35-film collection.

The studio is releasing Clint Eastwood: 35 Films, 35 Years at Warner Bros. on Feb. 16 of next year. All his Dirty Harry movies are in there. So too are his more recent directorial efforts like Mystic River and Letters from Iwo Jima.

In addition to all the films, the bound collection will include a new short film called "The Eastwood Factor." There's also a 24-page sample of the upcoming book by Richard Schickel. Additionally, there are rare and unique correspondence and photos included.

The set will retail for a whopping $179.98. An amount that doesn't seem so bad when you consider it's just $5.14 per movie.

The frustrating part about this announcement is that the collection won't be available for holiday gift-giving this year. But it will make for a nice Father's Day gift next summer.
