Jeremiah Johnson - Slowburn but one of Robert Redford's best role. A must watch!

Tarzan, Legend of Greystoke - Dated but really great scenery and plotline. Three fourths in the plotline stalled but it came back with a strong ending. A must watch for Christopher Lambert, Andie MacDowell and of course Tarzan fans!

Last Stand at Saber River - Alot like Monte Walsh but not quite as good but it did have a really intense beginning and ending! A must watch for Magnum P.I. fans!

Papillon - I just could not get into this. I'm sure it's a classic with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman but for me, it fell short.

Cool Hand Luke - A classic like no others!

Crossfire Trail - Good show! One of Selleck's best westerns! A must watch!
Damn Yankees
Dark Passage - A black and white classic with lots of actors you know but don't expect super speed action and suspense.

Soylent Green - A bit slow but normal for the period of time this was made. Charlton Heston shines bright in this. Quite the ending! A must watch!

Spencer's Mountain, Splendor in the Grass, Stagecoach: Special Edition, Summer Stock

Suspicion - Suspicion - Strong start with some slowdowns and interesting ending.

The Great Ziegfeld - Way too long at three hours but some of the dance scenes were pretty cool. Winner of three Academy Awards including best picture, which seemed to be overkill for this but times were different and not a ton of other movies to compete.

Movie Reviews

The divine with the dross
A. J. Martin Weber | New York, NY United States | 12/16/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"All that should be noted is that the the company now known as WB has elected to place Singin In The Rain in the same DVD collection with Tarzan the Ape Man (1981). Be wary, very very wary. The great and the garbage.



No excuse for such an undiscriminating collection to be thrown together. What is the point? Surely they have bled us in numerous other ways, extra features that they have "just discovered". Endless packing must have its own end. Or not??



"
A great big "Blob"
W. B. Davis | Wilmington, NC | 01/27/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I looked at the films in this collection of "classics." Embrace of the Vampire, Poison Ivy, P.I. 2, P.I. 3 (P.U.), and others, are hardly classics. This appears to be a marketing plan to unload a bunch of mediocre DVDs that weren't selling, by hiding them in a list of better films, some great films, and many B-features."
Buyer Beware
Paul J. Moade | Jacksonville, FL United States | 03/29/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)

"I can't imagine anyone buying a collection like this at a price such as this ... unless they are just out to get every movie WB released to DVD. The set defies logic. Some good movies, lots of okay ones, some are junk. The marketeers must believe that we buyers can't decide for ourselves what we like, hence they piled everything together and try to sell it as a package. If you are one of those considering this collection, I have some water front property in Florida to sell you too.



I highly recommend that you pick and choose the movies you like (if unsure, rent it first) and buy them one by one. You'll save a bundle and be better off in the long run.



Not recommended at all.
