- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2025Good quality and condition for the value
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2024This is an amazing value for some great films that reflect turbulent times. Hail The Conquering Hero is worth it alone. I look at these war movies loaded with patriotism and wonder what happened to our country when the wrong kind of flags are being waved other than the Red, White and Blue!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023I have not watched all of these yet, but I have enjoyed them so far. The movie quality is good. I especially liked "Hail the Conquering Hero." Some of these movies are lighthearted and just fun to watch. Others are still humorous but with deeper meaning and purpose. They are good, quality family entertainment just right for any age.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024Rated PG ... Good clean laughs for all the family.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024Real comedy
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024Very nice, 2 DVD's, subtitled some B&W and some in color. Nice clear picture, good sound. 8 movies in all. Real nice selection. Got it for a great price.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023Good movie except one of the movies that was supposed to be on there was missing and another one played twice! Other than that it was good
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2024These movies bring back the past and highlight a side of the greatest generation that was celebrated by tinseltown, USA.
