I bought this collection for Jeremiah Johnson. I enjoy western classics, actually all classics. These 4 are good stories, it's interesting to see movies based on late 1800 early 1900, it helps a person appreciate what we have available today, that we take for granted, such as electricity and indoor plumbing. Good movies, good actors. Thank you seller for the affordable price and prompt delivery.

Great Western Bundle

I really enjoyed the TCM Greatest Western collection. For the price, having 4 top films bundled together is quite a bargain. Plus, each has extra content which gives the viewer more insight into the selected films. This is a perfect format for people who want to revisit some of the greatest films in various genres.

Great movies; cheap packaging

This DVD set is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, you get four good-to-excellent movies. "The Wild Bunch" and "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" are both classics, and "Jeremiah Johnson" and "The Train Robbers" are nice additions. On the other hand, the packaging and presentation are very cheap. Instead of four discs each containing one movie, there are two double-sided discs that seem to have been haphazardly made. I had to immediately take back the first copy of this set I bought and exchange it, because one of the discs was badly scratched.
The sad thing is that this could easily be a 5-star set, especially with the inclusion of "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," which is a very underrated film and possibly Robert Altman's best. I would hope that TCM will pay more attention to the quality of their products in the future.

TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: Western Adventures

Three of the four westerns in this Turner Classic Movie collection are indeed classics. Sam Peckinpah shocked moviegoers and critics with "The Wild Bunch" because of the bloody violence. However, the film has stood the test of time for the story and performances of the stars and supporting players alike. It has been a mainstay available over the years in both VHS and DVD. "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" is a classy though oddball western in which cliches are turned upside down and the rambling narrative makes it difficult to tell the good guys from the bad. Warren Beaty is the hero - or is he? "Jeremiah Johnson" is still a pure cinematic pleasure to watch no matter how many times you see it. Robert Redford stars as tenderfoot with ambition to become a mountain man. The tough lessons he learns make for a most enjoyable movie. The fourth in the collection, "The Train Robbers," is another in the John Wayne canon made during his later years. Though enjoyable for the action mixed with comedy, it remains in the same class as others made during that era. Hardly classic in a literal sense, but good enough for fans of the Duke - which includes me.
