There are some decent enough films within this Cold War Thrillers Collection and actually for the price, right now it’s <$10 online, it’s probably worth picking up especially if you enjoy 1960s-era thrillers.

This Soul Team Six collection might not have top-of-the-line movies, and frankly some aren’t that good, but nice to at least have them in one set even if the transfers weren’t the best.
Our Betters is a charming little drama-comedy featuring a great performance from Constance Bennett, a woman ahead of her time and sadly died at the age of 60, though accumulated over 55 movies in her career.
Stan & Ollie is a nice little biographical drama-comedy with good performances from its leads, Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly.
A Woman of Affairs was technically based on the novel “The Green Hat” but due to censorship, the story was changed so much it apparently bared little resemblance (kind of makes me wonder if the book might be due for a new adaptation).
Out of Love is a nice little romance-drama, recounting the ups and downs of a couple from a sweet meeting through their relationship with good performances from Naomi Velissariou and Danil Vorobyev.

The No Tell Motel set is another budget release from Mill Creek and outside maybe Vacancy, are not very good movies, but if you enjoy these types of movies then it might be worth picking up in the sub $10 range.
Do It Yourself is a bit of a gem of a film and one of the reasons I love reviewing movies because it’s highly doubtful, damn-new impossible, I would have ever seen this movie otherwise.
The Key to Rebecca is a well made World War II made-for-TV drama that comes to DVD for the first time courtesy of CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.
Astro Boy was never a series, in any of the incarnations, that I ever watched and this one from 2003 was… fine with some entertainment value.

Scooby-Doo and the Curse of the 13th Ghost was an okay movie that at least did make be chuckle a few times and I did enjoy the connection with the old 1985-86 series, The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo which was pretty cool.

WWII: Behind the Front Lines of the War That Shook the World might not be the best documentary sets out there about the war, yet there is some great information to glean from this and it utilized the archival footage quite nicely.

This is a decent collection of Robin Hood films dating from 1946 through 1960 and any fan of the character and of these older films will find this collection a worthy pick-up especially at $15 which means about $8 on Amazon or in stores.
