This set contains only Full Screen Films
929484
Just a warning to consumers:

This set is full screen, not the 1.85:1 widescreen that is listed. This is exactly the same as the previously released double feature, just with a different cover.

And I don't get it--the majority of folks who watch DVDs have wide screen TVs these days--"standard" tvs are getting hard to even find in stores! It's almost 2010 for crying out loud--why, do manufacturers even produce "standard" versions of films that were originally wide? Now THAT's a mystery!

ps--I should point out that EVERY online store, including the online Warner DVD store itself, lists the incorrect aspect ratio info on this item. I tried to get this corrected on Amazon, but since I couldn't find a url to attach, they wouldn't change their listing. (Even though I have a copy of the actual dvd in my hand right now and it says very clearly "Full Screen Version"). That's progress for you).

There are many good things one can say about these movies, but ultimately, this package comes up short on content compared to the DVDs. Scenes that are a part of the Director's Cut DVDs are excluded from the blu ray disks, and are instead available as "Extras". If you know the DVDs, this can be jarring.

Based on run times posted on the DVD cover and the run time for the collection posted here, there appear to be about 7 minutes of content missing across the 4 disks. As such, I can't give this collection more than one star.

Caveat emptor!

All I wanted was all eight movies and that is what I received. The DVDs are in perfect condition and the box is very compact. The movies were in great condition, no skipping or scratches. I would get this if you are just looking for the movies without any special features! There is a special features open on the main menu however it is very limited in its capabilities.

Another low budget package of public domain horror films, so I wasn't expecting much, but I got far less.

Each disc supposedly contains 2 movies, and when you pop the disc in a menu with the two movie selections comes up.  BUT NO MATTER WHICH BUTTON YOU CHOOSE IT ONLY CONNECTS TO THE FIRST FILM!  There seems to be no way to get to the second film.  This is simply inexcusable.

I purchased two copies of this and every disc from each copy is the same, so it's not just a faulty disc.  The fault seems to be in their DVD design.  DO NOT PURCHASE!

So the movies you get are:
Horror Hotel, The Last Man on Earth, Dementia 13, The Terror & The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

One cannot access:
House on Haunted Hill
Night of the Living Dead
Nightmare Castle
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Nosferatu

This X-Men Quadrilogy Collection box set contains four of the X-Men movies:
1. X-Men
2. X2: X-Men United
3. X-Men: The Last Stand
4. X-Men: First Class.

Each movie is on it's own disc - but unfortunately the bonus discs which contained most of the special features are not included here (so if you like watching extras, it would be wise to purchase the individual 2-disc sets instead of this collection).

I'm not sure the point of this set, other than the studio wanting to capitalize from the coming theatrical release of "Days of Future Past" (and when that hits blu-ray later this year, I'm sure they'll put out yet another box set).  It's a nice deal if you do not yet own these films, but there is no need to re-buy them because this set offers nothing new (other than the nicely designed outer packaging).

NOTE: This set does not contain the two Wolverine spinoff movies.  if you want a box set containing the X-Men films plus the Wolverine films, try this:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/X-Men-and-the-Wolverine-Collection-X-Men-X2-X-Men-United-X-Men-The-Last-Stand-X-Men-Origins-Wolverine-X-Men-First-Class-The-Wolverine-Blu-ray/dp/B00FLML7HW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">X-Men and the Wolverine Collection: X-Men / X2: X-Men United / X-Men: The Last Stand / X-Men Origins: Wolverine / X-Men: First Class / The Wolverine [Blu-ray</a>]

Since these have been unavailable for quite some time, it is good to have them back and in such complete editions.  BUT they aren't totally complete, and it is aggravating that each movie has some tracks represented on the 5th CD.  Four movies - okay, how about 8 CDs with complete scores and in the right order.  I'll have to watch the movies again to be sure where certain tracks ought to go.  For example, "Uncovering the Ark" - is that Indy "uncovering the Ark" or the Nazi's uncovering the Ark, which would lead into the "Miracle of the Ark."  And that's the track I am sure about.  The amount of music on the CDs is fine - 74 minutes for Raiders - which means the other tracks would not have fit on the original CD, but at least give us the correct order.

Okay, I'm being picky.  But I hate to try to guess where music goes.  The sound on Raiders is great.  I haven't finished all of the others yet.

I was a little disappointed to discover that this was the collection of the movies and not the hour long TV show that's currently showing on A & E.

The biggest omission here is obviously the '77, '80 & '83 Theatrical versions of the Original Trilogy (the 1997 theatrical and 2004 video versions aren't included either, if anyone cares), but there are a lot of deleted scenes still in the vault that disappointingly aren't included here, nor is the Star Wars Holiday Special, nor the documentary "From Star Wars To Jedi: The Making Of A Saga" nor is the documentary "Empire Of Dreams" which was included with the 2004 DVD set. The theatrical trailers from the '04 DVDs are missing as well. Hopefully the NEXT blu-ray release will include all of the above.

To determine what movies are featured on this DVD, enlarge the movie's logo and you'll see that it includes "The Scar," "Quicksand," "Too Late For Tears" and "The Man With The Golden Arm". RLF

I was very excited to own the movies that have come out so far, but I was a little disappointed to find that there are scenes missing in these movies.  I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and this is a good deal, I just wish they were all the complete movies.

This 4-disc set contains 3 of Russ Meyer's lesser films from the late 60s, "Finders Keepers, Lovers Weepers","Good Morning and Goodbye" and "Common-Law Cabin", as well as a "promo reel" 4th disc.

The transfers are poor, with a washed-out look that could easily have come from a VHS source, and there are no extras, nor even a DVD menu! You pop the disc in and the film immediately starts playing. If you do hit the Menu button, you get one of those generic DVD menu screens that comes with your authoring software, and only 1 menu item, which is to play the film.

The shoddy presentation and lack of care in these discs suggests bootlegs, but this is in fact an officially authorized release from Russ Meyer Films (check their website if you don't believe me!)

The 4th "promo reel" disc is merely a half-hour of clips from various Meyer films, spanning his career. Unfortunately they only include clips for films that are already available on DVD, so forget about seeing anything rare or obscure.

Each disc is held in individual trays within a single, oversized DVD case.

I wish Criterion or someone would do properly restored and loaded releases of Meyer's canon, but in the meantime we're stuck with this.

I ordered this set in a hurry one evening. When I saw it was the two movies together, I assumed it would come in a slip case as a set. I was very disappointed when it wasn't. It is one of my favorite movies and I wanted it special. I also needed it in wide screen. The two pack was full screen which I could read through the unopened celophane package. I wish they would come out with this one on Blu Ray. Needless to say I did return it disappointed and unopened. My fault.

I wish these had been released as separate DVDs, but the most important thing is that this is the first time many of these films have been released on video in their original aspect ratios!

Since Amazon's listing can only handle one aspect ratio, the films are presented as follows, and all are anamorphic presentations:

Bombers B-52 - 2:35:1
Cash McCall - 1.85:1
Splendor in the Grass - 1.85:1
Gypsy  - 2.35:1
Sex and the Single Girl - 1.85:1
Inside Daisy Clover - 2.35:1

Note that this is the first time Cash McCall has been seen in its original aspect ratio since its theatrical release; even Turner Classic Movies only has a pan & scan 1.33:1 copy.

This is a great set if you know it is the first series only. This does not include the movie and series two yet it has a space for the ie..

The Mel Brooks Collection is a great set. it contains almost ALL of his directed movies. The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, History of the World: Part 1, To Be or Not To Be, SpaceBalls, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. This set does not contain The Producers (1968) or Dracula Dead and Loving it (1995) though nither of those are available on seperate blu-ray anyway.

I got the regular widescreen by mistake. I really wanted the special features and there are NONE on the one disk set!!! Doh!
