I have enjoyed watching the DVDs of Billy the Kid western movies. The modest price of the 4 DVD set induced me to purchase it since I have always been a fan of Buster Crabbe since seeing him in the Flash Gordon TV series many years ago. Fortunately, all but two of the movies recorded in this set have him as the title character. The typically 1950's black and white format of the movies takes me back to my youth and the only slight dissatisfaction I have is that the scripts are all so very much the same. Everyone is always riding at a full gallop throughout every movie and if there is any woman at all in the film, there is only one or at most two - one of which is an older, motherly type and the other the young, attractive romantic interest without any real romantic involvement with the star taking place. The scripts appear to be written mostly for older children or young teens of a much simpler society than we now have. If you like old westerns with lots of shooting, fist fights and galloping horses you will enjoy these. The quality of the reproductions are surprisingly good considering the age of the original films and good always triumphs over evil in the end!

When I was a kid, occasionally the theaters would show old episodes of Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon before a feature film on weekend matinees. Eventually, I was lucky enough to live in an area where they broadcast many of the old serials on regular TV on weekends, during the day or late at night. Well that was a long time ago and now we're lucky enough to have them putting those old serials on DVD to take home and watch at your leisure. This series is pretty great and it will definitely take you back to the good old days. I suggest you pop some popcorn, get some candy, a soda and a hot dog, so you can sit back in your living room and relive the good old days!
I live in and around several real cowboys, ranchers of Texas, in Central Texas. They have big screen tvs in their barns, and have time ...ever so often ...to watch a little tv. They like the old cowboy movies, and the outlaws of the West. These DVD packs of Billy the Kid made a terrific Christmas gifts for my friend and kin. There is going to be a 'cold snap' in our weather this week;I think they just might enjoy these movies then...in between the cows, horses, mucking stalls, worming goats, fixing fences, and feeding the deer. This was a good gift for me to give.The old movies are the BEST movies! Thanks. QuePaso
A a few weeks ago I ordered Billy the kid 20 Movie Pack. It was a gift for my husband and he is really enjoying all old Western movies. And they are hard to find. But on e-bay everything is possible. That' why I enjoy checking in every day. To make me happy it would have to be either a Musical or Romance. I am sure there are a lot of people in the Senior Generationwho like Oldies. Please check with e-bay. You will be pleasantly surprised
I bought these movies for my 80 year old father who loves cowboy movies. He watched so many of them the first day. The quality of the C's are excellent, the content is great. Overall it was a great buy and a wonderful gift!
