At Long Last the Lost Treasures Have Arrived!
By ben1789
Universal deserves a special award at the Oscars, and, for that matter, every other awards show ever, up to and including the Nobel Peace Prize, for uncovering and releasing this treasure trove of long lost films! I know that it may seem crazy to spend almost 250 dollars on one collection of movies, but you people have no idea what kind of a bargain you'll be getting!
As a distinguished film fetishist, I am one of the few people who knows anything about these rare masterpieces! The inclusion of "Mamma Mia!" alone is worth the hefty price! This film was considered so controversial and shocking that the original audience went blind and deaf after watching it, and it has never been seen by anyone since!
"Do the Right Thing" is a nearly-forgotten instructional video on how to do everything correctly - a must for first-time job applicants! I cannot wait to see that one! I have read so much about it, but I'm sure the words don't do it justice.
I will even watch the films that were never released because of how terrible they were considered to be. Why watch a terrible film? Because of the historical importance! We must learn how to not make films from past failures! Which is why supposedly awful films such as "ET" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" will be so informative!
Not to mention, the geniuses at Universal have included a BOOK talking about the films! Let's see - 72 pages. 25 movies. Gasp! That is exactly 2.88 pages per film! Why read countless pages of false information about the films online when you can have this book which will no doubt contain insight into each film included THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN READ!
Do whatever you can to get your hands on this one-of-a-kind piece of history! After all, it will sell out quickly! Then you will never be able to see any of these films ever again!
And can you miss out on the chance of NOT owning "Buck Privates"? I think not!

Who is this box for?
By J.R.E
I defy anyone to tell me what these 25 movies have in common--other than that they were produced/distributed by Universal Studios. This isn't a well-curated collection, just a bunch of movies that a lot of different audiences will like, but there is no audience who is going to have a taste for all of these films. "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Mama Mia!"? OK.... And if you can find me anyone who's going to finish "Pillow Talk" then pop in "The Fast and the Furious," I'd love to meet him/her.
Instead, this set seems to be akin to the world's most expensive box of chocolates--something for everybody, but nothing for any one person. It's something that a great aunt with a lot of cash would give as a birthday gift: "I heard you like movies, so here are a bunch of movies."
