The Mummy - The Legacy Collection (The Mummy/Mummy's Hand/Mummy's Tomb/Mummy's Ghost/Mummy's Curse)
Lon Chaney Jr., Peter Coe (III)
Universal Studios, 2004
The Mummy - The Legacy Collection
Great set! If you enjoy the old Universal horror classics then you will enjoy this. The Mummy has excellent mood and atmosphere. The sequels are a bit dated, still great fun though.

Bela Lugosi, Sheila Manners
Universal Studios, 2004
A Whole Lot of Bang (and Bite) for Your Buck
It's easy to view Universal's Legacy Collection series as nothing more than an effort to repackage an old product by adding on lousy sequels that no one would want to buy anyway. I'm very pleased to say that this is absolutely not the case with the Dracula Legacy ...

Roddy McDowall, Claude Akins
20th Century Fox, 2006
The price alone is worth it !
I just purchased this tonight and wanted to review this item for the price alone.
If you buy these five movies individually you would spend around $60.00, so this is a real steal for five great movies.
I was blown away by the price !
I will update my review on the ...

Frankenstein - The Legacy Collection (Frankenstein / Bride of / Son of / Ghost of / House of)
Pauline Moore, Edward Van Sloan
Universal Studios, 2004
Choose Your Assistants Carefully; it's So Hard to Find Good Help.
I must be out of my mind. First, I've decided to review all 5 films at once. Second, I didn't give the set 5 stars; sacrilege here at amazon.com. But I'm not unreasonable, so I will rate each film individually just to make things clear. Don't forget, we have an ...

" We've become a race of Peeping Toms"

John Agar, Lori Nelson
Universal Studios, 2004
Watch Out for Those Black Lagoon Creatures!
These movies can be very fun. I enjoy them, especially the first one. Mainly a creature is captured by man, abused and then tries to run off with the beautiful girl before being killed. Then in sequels, the story repeats itself again with another cast and girl. The ...

Universal's Wolfman-The Monster Everbody Loved
Universal's Wolf Man is one of the three classic horrors from that great movie studio. Although few people consider Lon Chaney Jr. a superior actor, he himself used to boast "The Wolf Man was my baby". As for me I always considered the Wolf Man my personal favorite. ...

Psycho (Special Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)
Frank Albertson, Martin Balsam
Universal Studios, 2008
"Psycho" Is The Most Influential Horror Movie Ever Made
How I envy those who saw "Psycho" when it was originally released in the theatres in 1960. How shocking it must have been for them to learn the true identity of the serial killer. To this day, "Psycho" continues to frighten even the most jaded of horror fans. It has ...

Vertigo (Universal Legacy Series)
James Stewart, Kim Novak
Universal Studios, 2008
A re-release of a classic
It is unusual to see a director produce his best work after the age of 50, but that is exactly what Alfred Hitchcock did. Starting in 1948 with "Rope" and ending with "The Birds" in 1963, this was the era of his most inspired films. "Vertigo", in my opinion, is the ...

The Sting (Universal Legacy Series)
Paul Newman, Robert Shaw
Universal Studios, 2005
One of my ten favorite movies!
I bought the "Legacy Series" disc to get a wide screen version, and it is a very fine upgrade from my older 4:3 aspect version.
I can't comment on the additional content of the second disc. I generally don't even watch that stuff.

The Johnny Cash Show: The Best of Johnny Cash 1969-1971
Johnny Cash
Sony Columbia Legacy / Reverse Angle Productions, 2007
Here's Johnny
The only way this DVD could be better is if it had more discs so make sure you buy the 2 DVD version.
If you are a fan of any of the performers here you cannot go wrong.

The Future Is Unwritten
Joe Strummer
Sony Legacy, 2008
IT'S A ROCKIN WORLD
It's a rockin' world make no mistake about it. These are the words of one Joe Strummer. But in my opinion and as this doc will attest the world is a not as rockin' as it was when Mr. Strummer was still with us. The story of the man, his bands and his influence on ...

Frankenstein (75th Anniversary Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)
Colin Clive, Mae Clarke
Universal Studios, 2006
Innocence and sensitivity have no place in this world
Classic story of the mad scientist and the monster that stole his last name. Bela Lugosi turned this role down because it contained no lines. Lucky for Karloff, who beautifully conveyed the part with an engaging sensitivity while maintaining an ultimate level of ...

Dracula (75th Anniversary Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)
Bela Lugosi
Universal Studios, 2006
The blood is the life
Back in 1931, the gloves came off. American cinema firmly grasps full-fledged horror and all the shadows that surround it. This is such a beautifully shot B&W classic that paved the way for the genre. Watch The Count glide with commanding grace during his nocturnal ...
