Title: How to hack this amazing box set
Review: In terms of film content, this box set is an absolute treasure. Some of the greatest films in history, from the Jazz Singer to the Matrix and everything in between. From a price perspective, it cannot be beat - 100 films for $200 is completely unprecedented. You are never going to find a better deal than this. However, it is true that the packaging is a mess - the films are in cardboard sleeves, so you are inevitably going to scratch them if you keep them in the original packaging. SO here is what I did: (1) I took all of the DVDs out of the original packaging, very carefully, so as not to scratch them. (2) Each of the films has a corresponding pocket with the cover image. I used relatively heavy-duty scissors cut out the pocket with the cover image. I cut away the back of the pocket so that I was left with a little cardboard square with only the cover image. (3) I purchased two DVD binders (I went with the Bellagio-Italia CD/DVD Storage Binder in black). I put the DVDs into the binders, along with the corresponding cover images. The result: I now have two full DVD binders with all of the movies, plus the cover images that correspond with them. (Because the DVDs are double-sided, there are binder slots that just have the cardboard cover image, but, since there are two slots per page, I know that the DVD on that page in the one that corresponds with both of those images.) I'm giving it five stars because, even with the cost of the binders and the time spent on this little project, it is still, by far, the best option if you are interested in purchasing a large collection of great films.

Title: Good collection but poor packaging
Review: I purchased this as an Amazon deal for $95, which came to less than a dollar a movie. I'm an avid film watcher, and have seen a good amount of films from the past 90 years. This collection has some questionable decisions on what movies to include, but overall it does a good job in having a lot of variety. I mostly bought this set because it has a ton of classics that I've loved but seen only once, and as I'm making my way through the rest of the Best Picture winners, this collection definitely helps because it contains a lot of them! My main gripe is just the amount of musicals it contains from the 40s-50s, but I suppose that's what WB was pretty good at back then.I can't give this product 5 stars because of the poorly designed packaging AND the fact that a disc was missing in my set. My set contained only 54 discs, with the one for "A Face in the Crowd / Gigi" missing. I opted to receive a 20% refund instead of getting a replacement set because other reviews had me worried about residual glue stuck to some of the discs or other problems in their set. Since the rest of my set appears okay, I didn't want to risk it... which brings me to my second point, the HORRIBLE cardboard sleeves that these discs are sitting in. Normally I try to just groan and look the other way, but you have to pinch the sides of the DVDs and use Herculean strength to remove them and pray you didn't ruin the DVD. It's completely ridiculous, but fortunately all the DVDs I've watched have played perfectly fine. I cannot go through and check all my unwatched DVDs yet to make sure there are no scratches or glue on them, because my hands kill me after removing about 5 of these suckers in a row. Ugh!Overall, this is a great collection if you can get it for a reasonable price. Make sure to go through it right away and count 55 discs! The way the movies are slotted is a bit unintuitive but you get used to it. I thought about giving this product 3 stars, but Amazon was able to handle my issue on the missing disc right away. They also said I could purchase the missing movies separately and they would also reimburse me, but for some reason "A Face in the Crowd" is like $70 on Amazon!? Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna attempt that and trust I'll get my money back.

Review: I got this set on a one day sale for $164, so I am delighted. Yes there are 2 movies per disc and the print is small, but as for sub par? If this bothers you feel free to spend 10, 15, or even 20 dollars per disc. As for me my only complaint is the tightness of the discs in the sleeve. Very tight indeed and like another reviewer said it may create wear on the discs. I haven't watched even close to all the movies yet, but the handful I have watched played perfectly.

Review: Amazing collection of movies - some of the best ever made. This is great value - especially if you caught their sale, and it can satisfy almost any mood or taste. Possibly the greatest challenge in utilizing this library is choosing what you are going to watch - there are so many A+ movies that making a decision could take you 10 minutes. Truly a tribute a studio's amazing contribution to the cinema.
