Ronald Reagan Centennial Collection (8-Pack)

Love old movies and glad I was able to find this item! Only disclaimer it’s when I started to open the dvd case itself it was cracked and broken pieces (of the case) fell out. The dvds(from what I can tell) we’re not damaged.

For the centennial of our greatest President, Warner Bros. has put together a collection of eight of Ronald Reagan's finest films, as follows:1) DARK VICTORY - More of a Bette Davis film than a Reagan film, but very good drama nonetheless.2) KNUTE ROCKNE, ALL-AMERICAN - Pat O'Brien plays the Notre Dame coach and title character; Reagan plays his bedridden star player, George Gipp (that's where "the Gipper" nickname came from).3) KINGS ROW - Considered Reagan's finest role, and many believe it should have gotten Oscar consideration, but YANKEE DOODLE DANDY was made the same year, and WB submitted that one instead (probably wisely, as Reagan himself admitted).4) DESPERATE JOURNEY - A fine World War II drama, with Errol Flynn.5) THIS IS THE ARMY - Finally, an official DVD release of this great patriotic musical!6) THE HASTY HEART - a decent, though not spectacular film, with Patricia Neal.7) STORM WARNING - A courtroom drama in which Reagan, Ginger Rogers, and Doris Day battle the KKK in a murder case.8) THE WINNING TEAM - A delightful film in which Reagan plays the Hall of Fame pitcher, Grover Cleveland Alexander.A fine collection that is well worth owning.

Reagan's lesser-known performances in The Hasty Heart, Dark Victory, and The Winning Team are each worth the price of this collection. Storm Warning delivers an unrelenting smackdown on the Ku Klux Klan that was as daring as it was functionally accurate. In Desperate Journey, Reagan and Error Flynn take on what seems like every branch of the Third Reich across Axis-held Europe in a classic "Hollywood goes to war" picture. We used this collection to hold a family Gipperfest, introducing our grandchildren to one of the most under-rated actors of the 20th century.

Did like it. Liked those who stared got it as a gift.

Whatever you think of the man's politics, he was a good actor.I enjoyed all these movies very much. Reagan's optimism is clearly shown in most of his films.

bringing home the classics was apparent in this collection from warner as time moves forward efforts to make them better happens hope the film stock holds up after years of lacktherof

All his really good movies in one place. I hadn't seen several of them and was impressed at what a really good actor he was.

These are some of the best old movies there are. Ronald Reagan is great in all of them.
