A must have for movie lovers

I have an early version of this book and it is just about falling apart from the all use it has gotten over the years. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone and it will always be the only review book I buy.

I also like the fact that the authors clearly have a passion for movies of every genre and that translates on every single page. I am highly grateful to the authors because based on their reviews alone I have discovered and enjoyed many movies I might otherwise never have watched.

I have found that these books make great gifts as well. Don't hesitate to buy one; you'll get your money's worth and a lot of enjoyment too.

If your a fan of the Friday series like I am this is a must own.  So many interviews with cast and crew.  A Lot of insight into each film at each movie is featured through out the documentary.  It's very long so don't expect to watch it all in one sitting.  I'm glad there are passionate film makers out there that brought this together for us genre fans.

By far the best collection of films by silver screen icon Greta Garbo. If you enjoy watching classic movies this box set is a must have. Love it.

This is a great collection of Mel Brooks movies.  Everyone has their own favorites so I will not cover each movie, but this is an amazing package of movies.  The quality is great (I got the Blu-ray) and looks amazing for how old some of these movies are.  I love most of Mel Brooks movies (not a fan of the 12 chairs), and this is a great collection.  If you want a great collection of Mel Brooks movies, this is the best choice.  Great quality and great movies!  Now you can finally see To Be or Not to Be and History of the World Part 1 whenever you want (I point them out, since most streaming subscriptions never offer them).  Great collection, highly recommend!

I have been buying and collecting John Willis' Screen World's since 1980...and have to say that they are a MUST for any film buffs book collection.  Screen World comes out once a year, and is like an annual Year Book full of pictures, a listing of all of the previous years movies, who starred in them, important facts about the movie...an info section about current celebrities;such as name, date of birth. My favovite section is placed at the end of the book, which lists all of the current stars who passed away the previous year. This book is very informative and I truly recommend it to all who really enjoy movies.

First saw it in theatre with friends, owned the laserdisc and now DVD.....it gives constant joy watching film making ....rather than most of what we see today.  Love to show it to novice film buffs...it is great start for someone... While the sound is digital mono..it is great. And the various ascept ratios...are excellant as is the clarity.  One can go to the original full length film for all proper mixes...which you want to after seeing clips from "some" of the classics and near classics....and leaving you wanting....more. I believe this is must for every collection.

This box set includes all the movies and a 2nd set of dvds that are bonus dvds contains some great interviews from the cast,etc .  The box set is packaged like a bound book.  It has a cover and each page shows scenes from the movie and in between each pge is where the dvd is contained.  I was very impressed by this collection

The second installment by Rupert Alistair is a great way to spend an evening if you love classic movies.

I like that he picked some lesser known movies and describes just enough of the plot and backstory in order to paint a picture of forgotten films.  Some I have heard of and some I have not. I wish I could see them all. This is a good wish list for any classic movie lover. It is very enjoyable as a read on a favorite subject.

Being a 68 year old Baby Boomer I know who "Wild Bill Elliott" is because of seeing his westerns on t.v. as a kid growing up in the 50's. I have been a movie lover from the time that I was a kid. I had no idea that Elliott made a series of detective movies in the 50's. I recently bought the collection of those five crime movies and I must say that he certainly did outshine Jack Webb from Dragnet. This series of movies are a definite must have for all lovers of movies, both old and new. All five are in glorious black and white.

This disc is simply gorgeous! I love classic movie scores, and this is one of my favorite collections. The "Gunga Din" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" themes are so well done you can imagine each scene from the movie as it is played. These are my two favorite scores in the collection because the various themes are each given their own track. (And I already had the other scores on another compilation!) It really is a must for classic movie lovers!!!!!

Amazing collection of classic B&W movies. They are fantastic with some great big name actors. I also suggest the books that these movies are based on.

A must-have for anyone who loves well-made movies. The dialogue is fast and funny, the acting is superb, and the story is as relevant and believable today as it was when the movie was made in 1939.

One notable part of the film is the tension between Mary (played by Norma Shearer) and Crystal (played by Joan Crawford) over Crystal's affair with Mary's husband. Off-screen Shearer and Crawford disliked each other so intensely that the movie's producer's had some difficulty keeping the film on track. I believe that conflict contributes to their believable onscreen performance.

Another fascinating aspect of the movie is the fact that while most of the conversations in the movie concern men, not a single man actually appears in the film. It's hard to imagine modern film makers, with their over-reliance on special effects, using such a clever twist.

I love this movie series.  The extended versions add quite some time to the already @3 hours of the theatrical versions.  I would only recommend this for true lovers of the trilogy due to this.  The extended scenes are just as beautiful and fully edited as the rest of the film.  If you are buying Return of the King: Extended Version make sure you buy the other two as well...

I can still watch this movie over and over again.  Very well written, directed, and filmed.  Having the alternate editions is a fun way to compare the different visions.  As to the technical aspects of this version, the audio quality and the quality of the picture is definitely worth the upgrade to Bluray.  As with some older films, when the director chose to use quality equipment the remastering process leaves us with a beautiful picture.  I'm very happy with this purchase.

I purchased this collection about a week ago and instantly reminded me of my grandfather because we used to watch these movies together. all are in great quality sound and film. you can definitely tell that this is when actors knew there trade well and movies were original
