Good movies to add to your WWII collection I purchased for the John Wayne movie They Were Expendable
on April 27, 2012
I purchased this 2 DVD 4 movie collection over 2 months ago and it finally arrived. This was NOT the sellers fault. Tracking said the DVD set was in my neighborhood and out for the daily delivery. Did not get it. Emailed sender and got a refund through Amazon. Then 2 months later via United States mail I received delivery. Go figure? Again I don't blame the sender. I blame the US mail.
The 4 film 2 DVD John Wayne set played perfect with no problems.
Included was They Were Expendable in B/W Full screen version about a PT boat squadron in the Pacific. They attack much larger Japanese ships and try to slow down the Japanese advance with machine gun fire and torpedoes from their small PT boats. Staring John Wayne, Robert Montgomery and Donna Reed. Excellent movie. 5 stars. If you like true PT boat action read about JFK and crew in PT 109( read my review...5 stars).
Operation Pacific in B/W ( my favorite of this 4 movie set with John Wayne and Patricia Neal is a riveting battling submarine story with Patricia Neal playing John Wayne's ( the XO then skipper of the Thunderfish sub) ex wife. Lots of great naval battle action and a love story. 5 stars
Flying Leathernecks in color is about a Marine fighter squadron with John Wayne in charge of the squadron and Robert Ryan as the XO. Lots of fighter fight scenes, attacks on ships, and supporting ground troops. 5 stars
Back to Bataan in B/W was in my opinion the most historical showing the collapse of Bataan and the capture of 70,000 US troops. We see the Filipino resistance fighters and their hardships attacking superior Japanese forces and attacking and trying to hold Japanese held positions until General MacArthur and his troops can gather strength and come back and liberate the Philippine nation. Very well done. Here is a DVD set I am proud to show my teenage daughters showing the hardships the military went through defeating the Japanese in WW2. Much of these actions are no longer told in Public schools and INMO it is important to show the younger generation the men and women in WW2 that died so the US could remain free and the Philippine people could be liberated. A great movie with historical significance and lots of battle action staring John Wayne as a Marine Colonel and Anthony Quinn as a Filipino Captain. 5 stars.
I can't say anything bad about this 2 DVD 4 film DVD collection. Great! Total 5 stars

The four movies in this collection represent wonderful value for those like me who enjoy the films made during and immediately after World War Two. Very patriotic and to some extent similar in style they often represent fine examples of the movie making art. Particularly worth mention here is "They were Expendable" a good story with a fine cast and well developed human relationship themes as well as exciting and convincing action scenes. That this film was made by John Ford would raise your expectations and the film certainly delivers. Nicholas Ray, Edward Dmytryk and George Waggner are the other directors and they do not disappoint. "Operation Pacific" is another worth mention being perhaps, in my opinion, second to the "Enemy Below" the best submarine film of WW 2. The underwater scenes are rivetting. I would definitely recommend this package to anyone who enjoys a good old fashioned war movie.

i can think of nothing more annoying than sticking in some garbage version in a collection of films. i just can't watch a chopped up TV version of any film that was shot to been seen as an EPIC. an epic is not formatted to fit a small box. i took it out and returned it. the description here makes no mention of the single film being formatted.
