During the 1950s and 1960s the Hollywood westerns of the 1930s and 1940s made a comeback at Saturday matinee shows in theaters across the country on Saturday mornings. You would see a few cartoons and a chapter from a serial followed by an exciting western movie. Sure you know who the good guy was, and who was the bad guy, and yes Good always triumphs over evil. But these were well produced and acted movies. Hollywood today does not produce westerns today because it costs too much to rent the horses, according to studio bosses. But there is no need for new movies when films of this quality are available at such a resasonable price. Imagine 50 full length movies in one package for one low cost. If you watch one a day it will take almost two months to watch them all. These films are kid friendly. Saturday morning rides again, pop some popcorn!!Read full review
This purchase was a good buy for the number of movies received. These movies are so old that there are some I have never seen. I know they show westerns on TV on weekends but some of these have never been shown on todays' stations. It's nice to have something like these that I can enjoy when I get tired of the usual blood and guts action movies with all their killing, bloody scenes and total destruction of practically everything in the movie sets. It seems a shame when they destroy automobiles that are farr better than some people can afford to drive. The thing that really burns me about some movies is when they burn down an old house that was built by real craftsman of the past just to make a movie. What a waste. I think many of the younger generation are convinced by those type of movies that it is OK to waste and destroy without realizing that their parents and other working class people will have to pay for that waste and destruction by paying higher taxes and prices for goods and services So, if you are wondering what is wrong with this country you might ask the young people who are at ease talking to an adult if they realize who is really paying for those action movies that they like. When i was young,the good guys always triumphed over the bad guys which was an incentive to be good. This is not true of todays' movies. The old westerns were a lot closer to reality.Read full review
Great Variety, great price. Already had it. Avaiable at local retailers.I did not like th long lead time to ship, but no cost shipping. It was priced wel, but we already had it, as it is readily available in Walmart, Kmart, etc. Nothing memorable about it. Next time, I'll look formore limited and rarer collections, even though price point is higher. Thank you, 4123dee
I gave this movie pack as a gift to our local veteran that only has dvd's to watch. It's his generation, so I'm sure he will enjoy them all.
