This along with volume 2 of the same set and you'll have all Chaplin's films with the exception of his early Keystone, Essanay, and Mutual films and 1967's "A Countess From Hong Kong" which Chaplin directed and features a brief cameo.

The best and most complete of the Astaire & Rogers sets. This is possibly the best dance team we'll ever see, plus some great music to boot.

10 lesser known Film Noirs with lots of extra features. Volume 1 in this set is the other essential collection. Volume 2 & 3 are so-so compared to volumes 1 & 4.

Contains 40 films from all genres released 1937-1969. The emphasis is on the period up to 1960. There are 15 Best Picture nominees in this bunch, and three Best Picture winners. I could only find two clunkers in the set, the rest are at least 9/10 star films. At Amazon's discounted price of $240, this works out to $6 per classic movie. This is a bundled set, not a collector's edition.

Contains 25 films, 18 new to DVD, directed by John Ford while he was at Fox. Included is a documentary "Becoming John Ford" made especially for this set, plus a 172 page booklet.

A celebration of good directors gone bad, bad directors gone worse, and girls gone every kind of wild. There are 4 volumes in this affordable salute to the campy films of the 50's and 60's, but this is the best volume IMHO. All 3 movies feature a commentary track, and the audio and video have been cleaned up from their original "poverty row" quality.

It's hard to believe that a show that started out as a comical protest against the Vietnam War in 1972 would last well into the Reagan years and then finish strongly in 1983 with a series finale that was the most-watched episode of TV ever - a record that lasts to this day.

A show about a British character that pops up in various time periods throughout British history. Great verbal comedy starring Rowan Atkinson before he was Mr. Bean.

This ground-breaking 1990-1991 series with its weird subplots, long story arcs, and odd-ball characters laid the groundwork for later shows such as "The X-Files" and "Lost". This is a ten disc set with the tenth disc being comprised entirely of extra features.

In 1990 this documentary surprised everyone by its success. It consists largely of the reading of correspondence between soldiers and their families.

Yes, it's mainstream comedy. But it perfectly captures the idea of the post-college adolescence that most people go through. Plus, they finally got all ten seasons together in a box set that works.

This 5 season show continues the saga of Angel, the vampire with a soul from BTVS. It was much more than a spin-off of Buffy, with some truly great drama in classic Whedon style and a wonderful supporting cast.

First disc has 'Big Al' the Alasaurus who's fossil was discovered in Montana. Disc 2 is 'Walking W Dinosaurs', starting with the early Triassic and ending with the Cretaceous Extinction. Disc 3 is 'Walking With Beasts' covering the period from 50 million years ago to 30,000 years ago. The last two discs are the making of the previous 2 discs. You must buy "Walking With Monsters" separately.

Scrubs is a great comedy about life in a hospital from the viewpoint of medical intern/resident John Dorian (J.D.). It's got laughs, drama, and incredible gags that require multiple viewings. Currently individual seasons 1-6 are available. Season 7, the final season, is in progress. Season 6 was a letdown.

If it were ever possible to turn the Enron scandal into a comedy, this would be it. It was very clever and funny but fought to find an audience...and we all know Fox has little patience for such shows. They'd rather cancel it and replace it with a cheaply made reality show.

Contains 18 Best Picture winners: The Broadway Melody Grand Hotel Mutiny on the Bounty The Great Ziegfeld The Life of Emile Zola Gone with the Wind Mrs. Miniver Casablanca An American in Paris Gigi Around the World in 80 Days Ben-Hur My Fair Lady One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Chariots of Fire Amadeus Driving Miss Daisy Unforgiven

Running from early 1990 - 1998, the show about nothing is possibly the best TV comedy series ever. Although it is impossible to copy its formula, its essence has influenced nearly all comedies that came after it.

The set has each of the nine seasons, the X-Files movie, and the threads of mythology disc with four featurettes. Each actual season comes with the bonus features that were released on the original X-Files sets which include deleted scenes, tv spots, commentaries, documentaries, and more for each specific season.

This is very expensive, but it is one of the best and most unique series ever put on TV about a violent gangster who spends six seasons over eight years trying to convince himself - and his analyst - he is just a Renaissance man trapped in a mob existence to which he was predestined.

The Warner Gangsters is now in its fourth volume. Great pictures featuring James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, and many others.
