An excellent starting place for a westerns collection

"The CLASSIC WESTERN COLLECTION presents 10 of the better-known public domain oaters. Most collectors will have these already, but for beginners, this box set is the perfect way to start a western movie library off on the right track. With great stars like John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Randolph Scott, Erroll Flynn, Burt Lancaster, Roy Rogers and more, this is a package that's sure to please!
And if you'd really like an instant cowboy pic extravaganza, the WESTERN CLASSICS 100 MOVIE PACK is just what you're looking for. It's an enormous DVD set that includes nine of these, plus an astonishing variety of other lesser-known good-quality cowboy flicks.
