First off, I would give this collection 4 stars no matter what Scarlett Johansson films were in this set. I think all of her movies are awesome and worth watching over and over again. I don't understand why the films in this set were chosen. I don't think they are her best work but they are good non the less. I think movies like: The Island, Lost in Translation, and Match Point would have made a better collection. Even though those weren't the movies chosen, this is still a good collection. Do yourself a favor and pick it up. Girl with a Pearl Earring is very good movie as well as the Good Woman. Scarlett can pull off other time period very well. Not to mention that she is sexy while doing her acting roles. I haven't seen American Rhapsody yet but I'm sure it doesn't fall short. I will definitely be adding this set to my collection of DVDs.

I think Scarlett Johannsson best movie and best looking movie in this set is A Good Woman. I was going to buy it for $3 anyway so this set is a good deal for me because the Vermeer movie is worth buying because Vermeer is my favorite Old Masters painter though the title subject is not my favorite of his works and the Vermeer movie really shows how inconvenient life was for a scullery maid before Ben Franklin had the wild, out of the box idea to fly a kite in a lightning storm. The Hungarian movie is good because again Scarlett Johansson's talent for looking great and wearing clothes well is the delivery system for a subject that most Americans wouldn't bother to watch - Communist Hungary. We, Americans who are not from that part of the world don't know anything about Hungarians. She's believable as a Hungarian primarily because of her resemblance to the child actress who played her as a little girl and the movie is really about how broken pieces that never fit together perfectly again force someone to live with the knowledge and memory of perfect unconditional parent-child love that can never be regained. The intimacy is gone which is not a biological connection.

She is one of my favorite actresses to watch. Also does a good job acting!
