A quiet winter night; a little dark and rainy; and Hitchcock. What a recipe for entertaining fun and you won't be disappointed with this DVD. Lots of movies with serious entertainment; many are truly classic from the early days of directing before WWII. Get this one and when you're ready to relax and enjoy...just one movie will do it!

The silent movies should be on a DVD by themselves. The talking ones on another. That way you can decide which one you want to watch. With them mixed up, you don't know which is which. That way you decide what you want to watch. I didn't like that I had to keep going to MENU to bypass movies to get to the next talky. I don't mind watching silent movies, but not mixed up.

From my early life and to my present, Alfred Hitchcock has been one of my favorite movie director/producer of all time. He has excelled many of his rank and is known worldwide for the masterpieces that he created. This collection displays his mastermind and ingenuity in all facets of movie making. Even the silent films are full of feeling - laughter, pain, love, joy, fear, sorrow, awakening....etc. Hitchcock was able to capture the attention and grab hold to the feelings of his audience in ways unlike any other. Even today, in movies such as "Signs" other movie producers like to imitate his superb way of getting audiences to fear without all of today's blood baths in movies. When imitating the style of Hitchcock, movie directors reach a higher level of creativity and rating. I am very pleased to have this selection of Alfred Hitchcock early creative work and masterpieces. This selection is one to be added to one's collection of superb memorabilia.Read full review

I bought my set on ebay for 99cents. Search hard before you pay silly prices. The set contains everything available of Hitch's British output (his best). The cine to dvd transfers are not good e.g. top of people's heads cut off, side edges missing etc. There is a hum on the soundtrack of JAMAICA INN. The prints used have obviously been round the block many many times. BUT where else will you see these films? And so cheap! Comments such as "not in colour" and "you have to stop and read the title cards on the silents" are obviously made by viewers with expectations formed by today's cinema, rather than movie buffs. However the movie buffs will continue to wait for restored versions to be issued on DVD (or whatever media will be used in future). This set will have to suffice for now.
Too many Silent films included among the bunch. Sound quality on the Talkies was negligible and the visuals were not good. I took a chance and bought '20' films from Alfred Hitchcock on four discs.

Some movies were silent movies. I wished they had listed all movies but they didn’t. Some films were poor quality films to view.

I got hooked on Alfred Hitchcock in the 1960's when I was a child. I would stay with my grandmother, and she would let me stay up late and watch the shows with her. The "Legends Series" brings back so many memories. There is something about watching the Alfred Hitchcock black and white movies that just make them great and remind you of days gone by. If you are a fan of the "Master of Suspense", you have to get this DVD Set. Kick back on a stormy night and let your senses run wild!
Enjoyed the movies, Hitchcock is the best
