4.0 out of 5 stars On a 1 to 10 scale, this collection is rated: 6.4, April 17, 2007

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The "classics" in the WAR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK must surely be the many contemporary documentaries included in this set. These chronicles of a war in progress are both American and foreign made-- the most unusual for Western eyes being those from the USSR. The theatrical films included here aren't blockbusters by any means, yet they should still have appeal to fans of the war genre.

The 1 to 10 rating for this box set was determined by accumulated pollng data located at a film resource website. Based on these numbers, the current average score for WAR CLASSICS is: 6.4.

4.0 out of 5 stars the best in all seven 50 movie collections, June 13, 2005

By	Hunter "Armin Haghighi" (Usa) - See all my reviews

There are about 6 another genre boxes from this studio and I have 4 of them, Most of them has Cheap and B movies with owful qualities that you cannot watch most of them although you can say that you have a Huge collection of classic movies!
But this box is different. It has 28 WWII documentaries plus 22 War movies which most of them have transfered in rather good quality and most of them are in color. this box really deserves something and you'll got an excellent collection.
The only other box except this one which worth to buy in these collections is "50 MOVIE MARTIAL ARTS CLASSICS" which there is surprisingly no sign on it on amazon.com
and there is a complain about the box, although this is a rather cheap DVD collection but it's not a good reason that the studio, sell it in an extremely weak paper box. If you buy it from amazon.com, you'll probably receive it undamaged but if you order it to a 3rd party seller, It will be highly possible that you receive a sealed but damaged box and it's not fault of the seller. such a weak box needs a hugh box that costs more than the price that amazon.com charge you for the shipping cost of an item! It was good if they packaged these collections with a better box.
