Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :4
Ive bought 8 of the movie paks and I really enjoy them. Some are a little crappy, but most are just fine. The silents and some of the earlier movies star people that lived during the civil war. These are not HD but, they are fascinating to watch and to check out whats going on in the background.They are a bargain and just great for any old movie buff.
On a bit of a different note..

Not really going to talk about how "good or bad" these movies are (acting/scripts/etc). Personally, I like movies like "Meet John Doe".
Instead what I want to do is make a couple of comments about this package of movies that I think many of the other reviewers overlooked:
1 - The packaging of the discs - the package I got consisted of a box with 12 individual cardboard sleeves, each with a single DVD inside. Personally I like this as it seems to have kept the discs secure during shipment. Ive bought other multi-disc sets and have never been that impressed with how they were shoe-horned into a single huge clam-shell case. Another thing that I like about the slim sleeves that these discs come in - it makes it really easy to drop one or two of these movies into the pocket of my laptop and/or my portable DVD player case. Also on the sleeves is a short description of each movie - in a very readable 12-pt font.
2 - The number of discs, there are twelve double-sided discs in this collection, with two movies on each side. Why do I think that is important? Mainly because Ive bought other sets where a cheaper publisher crammed five movies onto each disc side so as to get 50 movies on five discs. To do that they had to greatly compress the videos which made them have a huge amount of artifacts and pixilation - making them almost unwatchable. The movies on this 12-disc set are of excellent quality, at least as good as possible considering the source material. While there appears to have been some defects in the prints used (scratches and whatnot) there doesnt seem to be any noticeable additional problems introduced from overly compressing the films to get them on the DVDs.
This is the third set of videos from Mill Creek Entertainment that Ive purchased I also bought their "Drive-In Classics" and "Cartoon Classics" collections. I must say that Ive been very pleased with all three sets and look forward to buying more of their collections.
THE PRICE IS EXCELLENT, THE PRODUCT IS NOT

YES, MANY SAY THAT FOR ITS PRICE THIS PACK MAKES ANYONE MOUTHS WATER, BUT WOULDNT BE BETTER TO PAY A LITTLE MORE AND HAVE BETTER IMAGE, GOOD SOUND, AVOIDING CERTAIN MEDIOCRE FILMS? ANYWAY SEVERAL SURPRISES ARE THERE AND IF YOU MAY BE ANNOYED AT WHAT SAID HERE ABOVE, YOU CAN ALSO FORGET IT AND BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU DECIDED TO GET.

The HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS 50 MOVIE PACK offers a wide selection at a very fair price. The several genres here span six decades of cinematic history and this diversity alone makes for an interesting box set. The extensive roster of actors in these fifty movies is also quite unique. HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS is a collection that any fan of vintage motion pictures is certain to treasure.

A Mixed Collection
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
When buying 50 movies for pocket change you cant expect much. So Id say I got more than my moneys worth.
There are some of the movies that were captivating with good story lines and acting. Some of the movies were quirky but interesting to see how the art of film has changed over the years. And some of the movies I didnt get past the first 10 minutes.
Ranging from the silent era right up to the 1970s with the focus mostly in the 1930s, dont expect digital picture quality or dts 5.1 sound. While not impossible, there is noise in both the picture and sound, coming from old prints. Roughtly 3/4 of them are black and white.
In all, worth your time and money. But youll get your best value for your time and money if you PLAN on being selective and skipping some of the 50.
