i have reviewed many of these sets and i still marvael at the number of people who think that these sets are going to be great transfers. if thats what you are looking for keep looking! if you want to build your dvd collection and see some great old b thru z grade westerns, give it a try. my copies are not that bad , or maybe i'm just not as pickey as some. as always for the price it's a good deal. and i watch these films with my young children and they love them, so at least there child friendly,and they do what they were made to do,they enterain you,so give them a try.

i own many of these 50 movie packs and yes the transfers are not always good but they are all watchable and when you figure out that the price is 40 to 50cents a movie what's there to cry about.
there are some good,bad,and to finish the pun,ugly movies in this collection. like i said i have enjoyed them and they are kid friendly for the most part and can help you build a nice collection of b thru z grade westerns

I OWN 8 OF THESE SETS,FOR THE PRICE THEY ARE WELL WORTH IT.YOU TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD.

Gunslingers is a collection of 50 westerns that have only one thing in common: they are all public domain and as such it is possible for them to be presented in highly affordable collections. I paid $24.99 for my set and that comes down to about 50 cents per movie. The way that movie tickets cost nowadays, you really cannot complain about this collection.

This deal is even better when you consider that many of the movies in this collection are available as individual movie DVD's at prices of $5 and higher. Many of the movies in this collection are presented in better condition than they are from other DVD companies.

Additionally, some of these movies are of such quality and/or proven audience appeal you just have to wonder just why the movie studios did not renew their copyrights. Chief among these are God's Gun with Lee Van Cleef and the parody classic They Call Me Trinity starring Terence Hill & Bud Spencer.

All in all, a great deal for the money.

I received this 50 gunslinger classics just this past Christmas. There is no two ways about it as far as it being a bargain. It comes out to way less than a dollar per movie even when including the shipping. Although some reviewers here have mentioned the lack of any real quality westerns in the pack, the truth is that for the price you pay, there is a very nice variety of entertaining old westerns here that make it well worth it. My problem with this collection is not the variety of westerns, or selection, but the quality, which is very low. These might be some good old time western movies for the most part, but trust me when I tell you they are certainly not remastered in any way. Having the Encore western channel in my home for years now has come to spoil me. So many of there 30s and 40s era westerns are remastered that one can come to believe they all looked that way originally. Either that or remastered westerns are the norm in most collections. In this run of classic 50 westerns, (of which there are at least a couple of other titles in the series) they definitely are not. The earlier ones in this collection are very dark with extremely poor sound quality as well. And the darkness is not something you can just turn your brightness control up and fix. They still manage to remain dark and muffled even with the best of fiddling with them. In a lot of cases, I just skipped the poorest ones, which I figure was almost a third of the entire collection. In my opinion, this set still remains a decent bargain for the number of movies you receive for the price. Just remember when considering it that the quality is as low as it gets in a good many of the movies...

What do you expect for the price? Looks like someone put a video camera on the screen when these movies were showing. Poor scratchy film reproduction and muffled sound. But entertaining anyway. I'll give it a ***** for quantity; * for quality.
