Mill Creek Appreciation topic.

[Criswell]

I love DVD sets from Mill Creek Entertainment. They're always so cheap yet it so fun watching through the movies to see which ones are good and which ones are awful. Here are the ones I own

GUNSLIGNGER CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK
Its just a bunch of westerns. Kinda out of place for me, but I've really been digging watching some

HORROR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK
likely the most popular one. alot of the well known B-movies from the 50s and earlier are on it

HORROR CLASSICS 100 MOVIE PACK
Really awesome set. With a great combination of 70s exploitation stuff, and plenty of 50s and earlier stuff as well.

PURE TERROR 50 MOVIE PACK
My favorite one that I own. Contains pretty much only 70s and 80s horror with a bit of older stuff. Very fun set

NIGHTMARE WORLDS 50 MOVIE PACK


I have other DVD's From the company that are smaller, but these are the major ones. what dvd's of theres do any of you all have?

[Raffine]

I couldn't agree more!
Mill Creek rules!

I have:

CRIME CLASSICS
HORROR CLASSICS
TERROR CLASSICS
SCI-FI CLASSICS
DRIVE-IN CLASSICS
CHILLING CLASSICS
COMEDY CLASSICS
DARK WORLDS
DECREPIT CRYPT NIGHTMARES
ACTION CLASSICS
HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS
150 CLASSIC SERIAL EPISODES
NIGHT SCREAMS
20 CULT CLASSICS

I recently ordered the MYSTERY 100 Pack, which is a comp of the MYSTERY and the DARK CRIMES collections; neither one I have. Some of the older ones I have contain movies like THE MILPITAS MONSTER that were removed from later editions due to legal reasons.

There are actually a couple I don't have which I wouldn't mind getting, but the movie overlap in some of these sets and the increasing number of more recent films included has put me off getting them...so far.

I believe The Burgomaster is very fond of these sets, too.

Cool thats a lot of they're sets that are kinda older. I believe some of them are OOP. If you look at they're website it seems like they're trying to get away from the image they have of "That company that puts 50 movies in one box"

In terms of getting more boxes. I don't know if there are many more I could get. There was a spaghetti western one that looked interesting, and the Martial arts one looks good too.  They're two genres I really wanna get into so yeah.

I don't own any of them (for shame), but if the Pure Terror one is 70s and 80s horror, count me in!

Its mostly. There might be one or two or three movies that are the 50s or earlier. I recommend it to you with all my powers.

I own the Nightmare Worlds set that includes quite a few gems (All the Kind Strangers, How Awful About Alan, Terror at the Red Wolf Inn, The Manster), hilarious cheese (Atomic Rulers of the World, The Nightmare Never Ends, Star Odyssey), stuff I haven't seen in ages (Death Warmed Up, Embryo, Eternal Evil, Panic) and simply bad - nearly unwatchable junk (The Alpha Incident, Doomsday Machine, Invasion from Inner Earth, Night Fright, Beast of the Yellow Night, UFO: Target Earth, Ring of Terror).

It also features movies with alternate titles. It's stuff I already own as much better DVD editions (Alien Contamination, Werewolf Woman, The New Barbarians: Warriors of the Wasteland).

And a few decent or "interesting" movies I've never seen before (Piranha Piranha, Alien Species, Alien Zone, House of the Living Dead, Idaho Transfer, Prisoners of the Lost Universe).

Except for Terror at the Red Wolf Inn most if not all transfers are pretty awful and look horrid upconverted on my LCD  

[Criswell]

I forgot to say I had Nightmare worlds. I agree some of it is near unwatchable for even the toughest b-movie fan.

Ah yes, Mill Creek.  I own their 100 Movie Pack Horror Classics, which I got for 15 bucks.  It allows me to watch such amazing and truly breathtaking films like Manos: The Hands of Fate, Slave of the Cannibal God, and prehaps the great one, Vampire's Night Orgy.  Such a delight.

[The Burgomaster]

I have most of the Mill Creek 50 Movie Packs, plus the Western Classics 100 Movie Pack.  Over the weekend I watched ATLAS IN THE LAND OF THE CYCLOPS from the Warriors 50 Movie Pack.  Typical Italian muscleman nonsense with washed out colors (the whole movie has a brownish-orange tint).  Love it!

I am a huge fan of Mill Creek. They've allowed me to watch many of the great b's that I've only ever heard of before. Next to Netflix I owe my obscure b viewing opportunites to Mill Creek. Let's see, off the top of my head I own:

The Warriors 50 movie packs: It's got a ton of the old Hercules type movies. This is definitely one of my favorites.

The Drive-In 50 movie pack: This has a great collection of crazy 70's era drive-in movies. It's the set I watch most often and has something for everyone.

The Martial Arts 50 movie pack: This one has some great cheesy 70's fu along with the highest ratio of stinkers to gems.

The Western Classics 100 pack: I like Westerns and while some of these are too corny for even me to sit all the way through, I still like to fish one out a few times a month, usually on Saturday morning.

The Family Favorites 100 movie pack: This one has some really creaky movies but some are surprisingly good. The nieces and nephew tend to think they are slow going though.

The Sci-Fi classics 100 pack: It's got some good cheesy sci-fi. what can I say.

Girls, Guns and G-Strings: This is a collection of Andy Sedaris films. Good stuff.

Cult Terror Cinema: This is some nice grindhouse stuff. I actually wrote a review of it for Amazon.

Undead The Vampire Collection: Not all of these are strictly vampire films but most of them are pretty entertaining. I reviewed this for Amazon too and I think I gave it 4 stars.

The only one I have is the the Martial Arts 50 pack. I got it mainly for the Godfrey Ho flicks. There's, I think, four of them on it. The best one being NINJA CHAMPION. There is also a Weng Weng flick called THE IMPOSSIBLE KID. He plays the same character as in FOR YUR HEIGHT ONLY, but the dubbing is nowhere near as entertaining. IMAGE OF BRUCE LEE is pretty good too.

The Warriors 50 movie packs sounds like something I should pick up.

[Couchtr26]

I'm all for them. 
I own.

Horror 50 pack
Sci-fi 100 pack
Drive In Cinema 50 pack
Pure Terror 50 pack
Spaghetti Western Collection 44 movies (feeling dumb misspelling that)
Gorehouse (Mill Creek please use a real term) Greats
Undead Pack

It is nice to get quick access to quite a few movies you may not think about buying individually.  There are also a few gems for you to see.  Of course, getting a better version is nice when time permits.  However, without the Horror 50 pack (my first set) I don't think I would have gone through the trouble of purchasing Metropolis.

I wish Mill Creek would release the DVD of House of The Living Dead aka Dr Maniac ~ that's a film I've been looking out for years now.

[JaseSF]

I have numerous sets, bigger and smaller. It's a great way to get a lot of films on the cheap although sometimes the picture quality isn't all that great - still I've seen a lot of great films, and many not so great, from watching these sets.

Anyways I have the Sci-Fi Classics 100 Pack, The Horror Classics 50 Pack, the Mystery and Dark Crimes 50 Packs, The Martial Arts 50 Pack, The Chilling Classics 50 Pack, 100 Cartoons Classics, 150 Classic Movie Serial Collection, the 100 Episodes TV Megapack and I have a smaller Spaghetti Western collection and I know there's a few others I have I'm forgetting...

[Criswell]

I just picked up Drive in cult classics volume 2 from a store. Looks to have interesting stuff. I kinda wanna get one of the ones that have peoples home movies on it, but they seem expensive online.
