MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT's mega-movie packs are always a bargain, and a great way to instantly build or add depth to a video library. Their boxed DVDs are individually housed in gloss-coated heavy paper sleeves that take up a minimum of space, yet provide excellent protection for the discs. This compactness of design makes possible the storage of literally thousands of films on a single book shelf.

(Please note that this manufacturer occasionally flashes their logo on screen for 15 second intervals.)

The WESTERN 250 MOVIE PACK is the largest collection of public domain cowboy films currently available. This incredible roundup of dozens of stars will keep you in the saddle for the better part of a year! Highlights among the 95 newly released MILL CREEK titles below include 32 Roy Rogers 3-reelers, 9 Gene Autrys, 4 very early Randolph Scott features and much more.

FOR DETAILS OF THESE MOVIES, CHECK COMMENT #1 ON THIS REVIEW (see below)

To my knowledge this is the biggest round up of western movies available in one place. At 250 movies for the Amazon price of $65, (Its higher or lower now, but that's what I paid at the time), you're looking at just over 25 cents per movie. Not a bad deal even if it comes out that you actually only find two thirds of them worth it. Unfortunately that math has turned out to be correct. A good third of the movies in this collection are extremely old oaters from the 1930s that run an average of less than 60 minutes. They are neither very entertaining, nor of very good quality. Even if you're a fan of that early era of westerns, its my opinion you will be disappointed in any event due to the inferior quality. Most of the early ones are very dark and hard to see even with the brightness turned all the way up on your TV set. They may be old, but they are definitely NOT remastered in any way. Very dark and very blurry. However considering that the vast majority of movies hail from the late 50s through the late 70s,(and are of much better viewing quality), I still recommend saddling up with this collection. It is definitely making the long winter here go by much more enjoyably....

I purchased this collection as a gift for my mother-in-law. She can watch westerns all day and all night. She was so excited when she received her gift she absolutely loved it!

I bought this set for my boyfriend for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. With over 200 movies, there is something for everyone and a movie for almost every day of the year! The quality of all of the movies is excellent, and it is so much fun to watch movies from the old West, in addition to more recent movies. I would highly recommend this set to anyone, especially those folks who enjoy western movies.

Fast delivery, very good packaging. I had bought these movies for my father, sadly he passed away before I got to give them to him. One day when I am a little bit stronger I will watch all these movies for you dad. Love you.

I received this item super prompt, and at a low price. Me and my grand dad love these movies. Thanks for a great transaction.

I bought this Box Set from Amazon.com and I am thrilled at the sheer quantity of the movies. The 250 movies are in 60 Dual Layered DVDs packed in a lovely boxset. The collection of movies are good, however, 85% of the total movies are from classic Black & White era. There are just few colour movies in the set. Nevertheless, I got the movies which I am looking for so many years like RAWHIDE, DEATH RIDES A HORSE etc. It would have been better if the movies are listed with the DVD no on the cover of the box. The names are however written on the box but are just too small to read and the laminated box covering made it little difficult to read. Also, looking for particular movie from the set is difficult as we have to browse through every DVD to find the movie we want. I hope it will be looked into by the manufacturer. It is nevertheless a good buy and it will occupy the best place in my Western Collection. Must for any western freak - Buy it.

Everything from these 50 movie packs is included in this big 250 pack set.

Frontier Justice
Western Classics

All of Cowboy Legends is in this set except for one movie which is When A Man's A Man with George O'Brian from 1935. For some reason it's not included in the 250 movie set. I don't know why.

Gift for someone who likes westerns. They were watching movies before the party was over:)

Not one movie is watchable or interesting. After I checked the movies out (after 1 year), I tossed the whole thing in the garbage. They're bad TV Western movies, and not even bad American TV Western movies, for the most part just bad Western Italian John Wayne movies. Do not buy this.
