MGM Movie Collection: 6 War Films (The Bridge at Remagen / Beach Red / Beachhead / Ambush Bay / Mosquito Squadron / 633 Squadron)

My biggest complaint about this compilation is the mastering/transfer of the films.The Movies in this pack that are Widescreen are Widescreen in Full screen format (except for 633 Squadron).Let me clarify that.The Movies that are in WS format are still in WS format, but instead of automatically going to WS mode on your TV they go to Full Screen mode - thus you have Black (blank) on the top, bottom, and both sides.To get the full WS mode as it should be to fill your screen you have to zoom the picture, which of course loses a fair amount of detail and doesn't look as good as it should.633 Squadron is the only WS in this pack that does it correctly.As for the Movies in this pack:The Bridge at Remagen is the best of the bunch, this is a good one.Beach Red is just kind of odd, not really like any other War Movie out there, and it's not terribly good either.Beachhead has Tony Curtis and is an okay flick, though not stellar.Ambush Bay with Mickey Rooney (yes Mickey Rooney), is fair, but . . . well, it's a bit difficult for me to take M.R. as a tough Sgt. in War Movie - this is just not his genre.Mosquito Squadron / 633 Squadron - I grouped these two together because they are almost interchangeable.In fact, there are several scenes that are absolutely the exact same film footage frame for frame in both pictures.I would actually give this two and a half stars.The first Movie and the number of Movies for the price are the saving points for this package.

The 6 movies here are as stated by amazon,and not by the previous reviewer.I've watched4 of the 6,and 3 of these are good to very good. These are the Bridge at Remagen,Beachhead and Mosquito Squadron. I didn't think too much of Ambush Bay,whichseemed to have no story line-other than killing off the group one at a time-untilnearly the very end. If you like WW II movies,this is a good collection at a verygood price.

The movies are as good as I remember them although the transfer to disk could be better. This is an inexpensive way to add to your war films collection. It was more money in Walmart last time I looked and even more in Target.

These were not the best movies that came out on World War II. The color is good, and they have some good scenes in each movie. Beach Red was not one I liked when it came out, and I did not like it again. Never understood what the director was trying to do. Did not work for me. Rest are B movies. Not a bad price though.

Great bargain on this package of 6 movies. I've seen these movies before on TV and want to watch them again and again. Amazon makes this possible. Fast shipping and good quality. Thanks.

Good Picture quality and good 6 selection of war movies in a box.I just love it, Specially 633 Squadron !!!!

Contains 6 very good WWII films in one package. Transfers are really good and sound is also quite good. My favorites are Mosquito Squadron and 633 Squadron.

Very good

Reçu le 31 août, j'avoue que le film escadrille 633 était ce qui m'a attiré car c'est un autre film que j'étais sûr de ne plus revoir, maintenant je peux le regarder aussi souvent que je le veux et le faire voir aux autres.

Four of the movies were good two of them were real stinkers.

Good collection esp. the pacific films...all good quality.

some good films, good lazy day movies
