Nice idea, but horrible quality

"The picture quality on these discs is really awful. In some cases, its difficult to even recognize which actor is speaking. Some of these discs reminded me of old VHS tapes that were copied over or reused so many times that the picture had lots of dark and sometimes grainy images. But this would be a fantastic set of classics if it could be cleaned up a bit."
