the movies are great but if you buy these 3 films separately from amazon it's 66.00 total so why would you pay 107 for the bundle.

The other Reviewer on this page states that The Longest Day was only MONO when it came out

This is not the case '
It was released in CinemaScope and 4 Track magnetic Sound giving you
Stereo and Surrounds.
It was later Released in 70MM in 1970 ,blows up fro the CinemaScope prints.

PATTON was made in Dimension 150 70mm and 6 Track Magnetic Sound
The Sound on the Bluray release is excellent.

What on earth is the point of Region coding old movies? They do not have a release date to protect.With Blu-ray classics you probably already have the DVD.So thanks a bunch Fox you stupid mean spirited bunch of bean counters.

The only thing I have to say is that all of these are great movies from the 60s. I really like "The Sand Pebbles" as I think it is one of Steve McQueens best movie. The sound and picture quality of these are remade better than the original as I have watched these movies many times.
If you like war flicks, this is the bundle for you.

The clarity of the Blu-ray is stunning to say the least. All three movies are incredible and a must see.

Ok Patton, the longest day both classic war movies. Both set the standard for early retro war movies. But the sand pebbles what is that doing in the mix its not even a war movie. Eh well Hollywood they simply dont watch their own movies. Sand pebbles is ok but really hard to get into as it has no real story just when your starting to understand how a USA riverboat warship operates in China before WWII then the movie changes direction almost like what happened prior to the revolution of the warlords didnt matter at all. Its one crazy movie.
