Rating:  - A poor use of my money.
I was very disappointed with this purchase. In fact, I viewed three of them and the quality is so poor the rest will remain on the shelf unviewed. I have relied on internet sales for two years now, and this is the worst.
Rating:  - Excellent Value for the Cost
I've bought the Classic Movies, the Comedy set, and the musical set, and they are worth the cost. Stage Door Canteen from the musical set, the sound is a little off, but all in all, worth the cost.
Rating:  - 50 pack of family movies: a great little set of some great family movies (and some great silent movies)
i own many of these sets and like most of them. this set is very good. i don't know if i got lucky or what, but all the transfers look very good,not great,but very good. there are some fun movies on this collection,and as the title says they are family friendly.
Rating: - Good collection at great price
Ive purchased a few from this series of boxed sets--it's a great way to pick up decent B-movies that may be of interest and some older A films that have fallen off the radar. These films have not been fussed over or remastered, so quality is variable and that's OK. Generally, for the cost, you'll get more-then-adequately rewarded. It's all similar to old late-night TV fare back in the pre-cable days.
I was a little disturbed by one of the reviews below complaining that one of the discs had "worn out." DVDs don't wear out. They can get mightily scratched up and that can cause trouble; that's an issue here since these are all double-sided discs and must be handled carefully. Also, significant dirt on the surfaces can unbalance them and cause some deterioration of image and sound quality. Allegedly, the materials within the disc may decay but there's talk of that happening after many decades or even longer. Still, in the immediate sense, DVDs don't wear out. Of course, players too can develop problems. Please don't let that comment dissuade you from considering this good bargain.
Rating:  - Not too bad.However.....
Well not to bad a deal.Most of the movies here aren't too bad(The Inspector General,A Farewell to Arms,A Star is Born etc;)and have basically clear picture and sound quality.It's true several of these are silent but even a few of those are good.There is a problem with this set however,after you've watched these movies once they will begin to wear out my mother and I discovered this when we wanted to watch "The Flying Deuces" for the second time the film was a lot more blurry and it was difficut to hear some of the dialogue.My advice is not buy this collection unless you find it for sale VERY cheap,and to just rent some of the better ones.We did get a few things out of this my mother said that she discovered Buster Keaton,W.C.Fields and Charlie Chaplin because of this for instance,(and after we liked Father's Litle Dividend we decided to watch Father of the Bride which was even better)so I have decided to give it an extra star just for that.
