Gold among the B movies.......2007-06-22

If you like silent films or 'B' movies or if you're a Hollywood history buff, you'll enjoy this collection, though some copies were made from old, deteriorated films and are not easy to view (Angel on my Shoulder; a pity). It was worth the price for these gems alone: My Man Godfrey, Passport to Pimlico, Pot O'Gold [Jimmy Stewart plays a mean harmonica!] and His Girl Friday.

Fun Stuff.......2007-05-14

Good light entertainment for those nights when there is "nothing on" or the satellite goes out.

It's to laugh!.......2007-03-25

Laurel & Hardy are here for good measure. There are also several fine theatrical films that are sure to keep you smiling for hours on end.

Comedy Classics 50 Movie Pack Collection.......2007-03-16

This is a great collection for the price I paid for it. My son and I have enjoyed watching the movies.

Some funny and very old films at a great price.......2007-03-04

I've really been happy with this collection, but you have to know what you are getting. Quite a few of the entries in this collection are 10 to 20 minute long silent comedy shorts, and some of them date back to the 1910's. The shorts include those from Arbuckle, The Keystone Kops and other Mack Sennett shorts, 10 entries from Buster Keaton, and an early 1923 entry from Stan Laurel before he teamed up with Oliver Hardy. None of these films are the best work of any of the comedians involved, but they are still funny.

There are a couple of very good screwball comedies from the 30's - "My Man Godfrey" and "The Front Page". Also included is the 1940 remake of The Front Page - "His Girl Friday" with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Spanky and Our Gang show up in "Follies of Our Gang" in which they put on a show. The Bowery Boys also have a few entries. There's even an Ernst Lubitsch film - 1941' s"That Uncertain Feeling" starring Merle Oberon and Melvyn Douglas in a funny romantic comedy. 1946's "Angel on My Shoulder" is a great film which has a murdered gangster (Paul Muni) returned to earth from hell so that he can inhabit the body of a judge for which he is a dead ringer. Instead of doing evil, though, he accidentally keeps doing good in the judge's name, making his sponsor from down below (Claude Rains) very unhappy. Harold Lloyd shows up in his last film - "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock". This film is funny enough, just not up to par with Lloyd's silent work. "Love Laughs at Andy Hardy" is made in 1947, and Rooney is just too old to be doing this at this point. The film completely lacks the pre-World War II charm of its predecessors.

"The Smallest Show on Earth" was an unexpected pleasure about an old movie theatre that has seen better days. When the new owners show up and are disappointed with it, the ancient staff gives the place a facelift to please them so they can hold on to their jobs. "Passport to Pimlico" is another British comedy that is very funny, probably just unfamiliar to you. "Sandy The Seal" isn't a comedy at all, it's more of a dramatic family film. Even though it was made in 1969 it has absolutely awful film quality, and I'm really not that picky. Most of the other entries are funny enough, just not noteable comedy classics.

If you like silent slapstick and classic comedy from the 30's and 40's you'll probably enjoy this collection, and you can't beat the price.
