too old.......2007-05-14

these are really old movies -- 30s and 40s, so the image quality is very poor. I'd say go for other options unless you're into those old movies.

Whoa! Back to Saturday AM (40s) or Thursday nights 2AM (60s).......2007-05-03

I haven't seen all 50 films yet, but this is a collection you've been looking for to bring back those nostalgic moments of sleeplessness, turning on the TV and seeing Boris Karloff as a Charlie Chan knock-off: British accent, that delightful, endearing lisp of his, ham-fisted private detectives sleuthing for ham-fisted clues(all wearing fedoras). Oh, the memories!! These are the movies that cling like dreams.

This collection is GREAT! The quality of the copy is good, too: they've minimized the scratchiness of the old film, sound is good overall, some other quirks ... but hey! these films are older than grandpa!

Wonderful value!

On a 1 to 10 scale, this collection is rated: 6.3.......2007-03-30

Based on current polling numbers at a film resource website, the 50 titles in MYSTERY CLASSICS received an average rating (on a 1 to 10 scale) of 6.3.

Not factored in are such considerations as audio/video transfer quality and condition of original footage. An outstanding mix of actors and titles make this collection very attractive for all fans of early cinema. Recommended.

Mystery Classics 50 Movie Pack.......2007-03-25

After reading the reviews I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing this
set but decided to try it. While there are a few serial types CD's I
found this set contained a number of really good movies I had never seen
before. Impact, Eyes in the Night, Kennel Club and others I found to be
excellent movies. I guess a lot depends on what you are looking for.
I was somewhat concerned from the reviews as to their being rather dark,
but having played a great many of them on my computer monitor, found only
a few I could consider dark.

Mystery Classics 50 Movie Pack Collection.......2007-03-14

Out of 20 movies that I've seen so far (of the 50), almost all of them are great. Really enjoyable. SO much better than TV, which I never watch.
