This four-disc set, part of Warner's Essential Classics series, collects three truly classic films--The Maltese Falcon, Citizen Kane, and Ben-Hur--in one inexpensive package. The drawback is you don't get the bonus discs of the movies--one in the case of Citizen Kane, and two each for The Maltese Falcon and Ben-Hur (which still needs two discs just for the movie)--so if you're a documentary junky or if you simply have to see the earlier versions of The Maltese Falcon, you'll want to stick with the individual releases. But this set does include the commentary tracks, shorts, photo galleries, and other material that was on the movie discs of those sets, and best of all, they have the great remastered pictures of the previous releases. So if you just want the movies looking better than ever with some bonus features thrown in for good measure, the price per movie makes this set an attractive bargain. --David Horiuchi

I got this as a Christmas present and just recently watched Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon for the first time and really enjoyed them both. I had always heard Kane was a classic but never got around to watching it but I can understand its relevance in this collection. Ben Hur is great and ... Read More

I bought this set in great anticipation. I'd wanted The Maltese Falcon in my collection for a long time: Wanted to replace my VHS copy of Ben Hur. Citizen Kane; considered by some the greatest movie ever made: was just a bonus ! Upon receipt I viewed all : Citizen Kane last. Unfortunately it was a defective disc. It would pop and skip and stall ; often missing huge chunks of the feed ; blotted out by digital sqares on the screen. It was terrible. I requested a replacement which they promptly sent. ...

Classic movies are called that for a reason.
Each is entertaining and can be viewed over and over again.

The Maltese Falcon and Citizen Kane are two of the best films ever made. Getting both in the same set with lots of bonus material, including commentaries, is a terrific deal.
The dialogue and acting in these two movies is extraordinary. It is true, as Ebert points out in his commentary, that Citizen Kane was a great special effect movie for its time -- pioneering the use of low camera angles, deep focus, and seamless editing. But the gimmicks are all for the purpose of enhancing a great ... Read More
