Mill Creek Entertainment releases these films onto DVD and with 10 spread across four discs you\u2019re going to get some compression, as such they may not look great but acceptable enough, though I believe a few of these received Blu-rays in the past. Each movie comes with a Dolby Digital 2.0 track, perfectly fine but of course limited, however dialogue did come across with good clarity. Still, at a low price and if you\u2019re not bothered by any of these issues, it might be a fine pick-up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
