This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my grandfather. The product was shipped on time and no damage to the package at all. Perfect for a war vet that loves these movies! My grandfather was so excited about this gift! Thanks!

I am the owner of 6 other Mill Creek Ent. products and am used to the mediocre quality of both film entertainment value and visual conditions. I have been satisfied and find all of them a great value. Unfortunately, this one, Combat Classics, one which I would have been interested in, contains at least or about half of the movies on 2 other related box titles. I have Action and War and was ok with overlap of one or 2 or a couple of duds foreign or silent. This is over the top. On the big collections of 150 or more I would expect some compilation. I would have preferred 25 for $10.99 rather than the 50 for $17 plus

As an avid WWII movie buff, I found most of this collection features older movies (30 from 1940 - 1959) with another 10 from the 60's and half a dozen from the 70's. There were even two from 1934 and 1936. Most of them are worthwhile with a few 'duds' thrown in to make the magical number of 50. For instance, I don't think many of us would expect Mexico and Pauncho Villa to be included in a 'Combat Classic' Collection. Realizing the cost and hours of entertainment to be realized, it was enjoyable for the most part. Don't expect all of them to be top knotch movies but if you enjoy older movies then you'll find this collection worthwhile.

The Combat Classics 50 Movie Pack consists of war films primarily set during World War II that have fallen into public domain. As fans of the Mill Creek Entertainment products have come to expect, the quality of the transfers in this boxed set range from fair to excellent, but the entertainment value of these movies is better than usual. There are no documentaries included in this set and only a handful of foreign films shot using a figurehead American star TV movies are incorporated. I'd have given full marks, except for one significant caveat - 25 of the 50 films listed can be found in other Mill Creek 50 Movie Packs: 17 were included in "War Classics", 5 in "Action Classics", 2 in Historical Classics and 1 each from "All-Time Classics" and "Hollywood Legends". In fact, the mediocre `Yellowneck' has been now been included in three different 50 Movie Pack collections. Since the recently released "TV Favorites" 150 episode pack includes 100 episodes previously included in other sets, this is a disturbing trend.
