Mind Numbing Deal

First, what this isn't. It is not a collection of Casablanca-esqe blockbusters. The movies in this boxset were average fare for the respective time periods. In addition, not minute was spent on restoration. What it is, though, is a hell of a deal. 250 movies for less than 50 bucks--that is 19.9 cents each!

Old movies, like old radio shows and even old music, are frequently an acquired taste. But if you put in the effort and acquire the taste, you have a feast waiting for you.

Nothing fancy in the packaging, but nonetheless it is efficient and attractive. One other bonus is Millcreek's web site. There is synopsis and basic credits for each movie. While not as deep as IMDB, Millcreek's site is easy and very useful.

For me, this is an amazing deal. Thanks Millcreek!!!! March 20, 2008

10,000 minutes of nail-biting

MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT's mega-movie packs are always a bargain, and a great way to instantly build or add depth to a video library. Their boxed double-sided DVDs are individually housed in gloss-coated heavy paper sleeves that take up a minimum of space, yet provide excellent protection for the discs. This compactness of design makes possible the storage of literally thousands of films on a single book shelf.


The MYSTERY COLLECTION 250 MOVIE PACK offers an enormous sampling of public domain suspense, noir, action and who-dun-it films. At 325 hours this is the longest running DVD box set ever issued. All the big stars of yesteryear are here: Cagney, Welles, Barrymore, Stanwyck, Lugosi, Sinatra, McQueen, Davis, Rooney, Karloff, Brynner, Lamarr, Raft, Widmark, Lorre, Rathbone, Burr, Lombard and dozens more. Many of these are 'B' grade Hollywood product of the 1930s - '50s. There's also a good selection of more recent titles and actors. No matter which era you prefer though, this 250 movie pack is sure to entertain for many months. So, make some popcorn, pull up a chair and if you think you know who did, please don't tell anybody!
