If you can still get your hands on this set, do so!

I originally bought this set to send to some adorable little children in Jamaica who may never have had the opportunity to see (or even know) that these movies exist. However, when I received the set, it wasn't one of those cheap 2 or 3- movies on a single disc nonsense. There are 3 separate discs. Full version with some accompanying documentaries. I couldn't let this go, so I told those brats that Santa got word that they were naughty, "So you get nothing! Nothing, I tell you!" In the end, I decided to give them copies!

The Wizard of Oz-- Standard screen, commentary by a film historian, interviews with cast and crew, several short documentaries on the restoration of the film, music an effects track, original mono track.

The Goonies-- Widescreen, The Making of The Goonies documentary, Additional scenes, Cyndi Lauper's video "The Goonies R Good Enough!," cast and crew commentaries.

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory-- Widescreen, commentary by the children featured in the film, sing-a-longs (yay!), brief bio of cast.

This is a steal. Warner Bros' just released another deluxe version of the Wizard of Oz, and until they released the single disc version the price to buy the Wizard alone is a lot of $$$$$$$$.

5 gargantuan Stars.

I really hate to give this set a 1 star, but the description was wrong! I bought this ONLY because it said it was in German (dubbed and with subtitles)! I already own all 3 of these movies in English, and they are really great productions. Gene Wilder is my all-time favorite actor, and I feel ashamed of myself giving ANYTHING he is in a 1star rating. I want to be clear that the 1 star is for the error in description, not for the movies!

I absolutely loved this deal! The movies came sealed, brand new, and in perfect condition. It looks just like the image on the website. There are 3 slim dvd cases for each movie. All great movies and classics! Would definitely recommend buying! You can't find a price like this for all 3 classic movies in one!

I got the package because the description said the three movies were in spanish. I was surprised to find out that the Wizard of Oz has subtitles in spanish but is not translated to the language. I am dissapointed because my little boy (who does not understand English yet)wishes to watch the movie in Spanish.... Description of the movies should be corrected.

Excellent value for this classic 3 pack set. Transaction was excellent as well. This set is highly recommended and is a hit with my family.

My daughter is in love with Willy Wonka and Wizard of Oz - great cheap way to get those two with the Goonies as an added bonus. Can't beat the price.

This is a great collection of classic movies. It arrived in good shape, and the dvd's work fine. The snozz berries taste like snozz berries.

The Goonies and Willy Wonka are classics for people who have kids now, the Wizard of OZ was several generations ago. They should have substituted Labyrinth or Stand By Me for WOZ, then it would be great.

i love these movies, and it was great to get all three of them at such an amazing price!

I just want to confirm the other 1-star rating so others don't purchase this set because of the language options. German is definitely not available for any of the movies. But a good deal for 3 great movies nonetheless.
