5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A FEAST!!, August 5, 2005
By Robert C. Graham (OGMORE BY SEA, VALE OF GLAMORGAN United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this set as I noticed it included my favourite A & C movie `Time of their Lives` which had never been available before on DVD. So to get 7 more movies for a price I would have happily paid for that was a great bonus.

The picture and sound quality of all of these films is outstanding and great care has been taken in perfect transfers from excellent, apparently original negative, 35mm material so it is a first class ride throughout. For A & C that is the only way to travel.

It seems a shame that some reviewers gripe about a lack of extra and should see it another way. You are buying one movie with 7 first rate features as extras - how about that for value? Remember you are paying less than $1.88 (or around £1) for each of these superb quality movies... I rest my case!

All of these series` discs play fine on my multi region players here in the UK. Even the slightest finger mark on a disc or dirty players can cause skipping and freezing (just a thought!).

In conclusion incredible value, superb quality set of movies which I recommend to anyone

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you, thank you, thank you, August 1, 2004
By Alexander E. Paulsen "AlexP" (Jacksonville, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever at Universal opened the vault and released these gems on DVD.

I grew up with these movies and now get to share them with another generation.

This is good clean fun comedy that you won't be emabrassed to show to anyone. Never mean spirited or vulgar, just comedy like it was meant to be by two undisputed geniuses of the genre.

Buy this set and enjoy A&C all over again.


Now all I need is a box set of the A&C show from the 50's woth Hilary, Mr Fields, Mr. Bacciagalupe, Mike the cop and Stinky. I can't wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great follow-up to volume 1!!!, February 8, 2004
A perfect compliment to the first volume and a must have to any A&C fan (and at a better price than vol 1). This should keep you up in laughter for hours (however, I do not know of the quality of the video transfer).
Disc 1 - Hit the Ice,
In Society,
Here Comes the Coeds,
The Naughty Nineties.

Disc 2- Little Giant,
The Time of Their Lives (my personal favorite),
Buck Private Come Home,
The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap,
A&C Meet Jerry Seinfeld.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the laughter...
