War Classics - 50 Movie Pack


War Classics
Brand: TreeLine Films
Movie Count: 24 movies and 26 episodes
Disc Count: 12 discs
Total Time: 3,619 minutes (2,047m for movies, 1,572m for episodes)

Movies marked with a semicolon (;) were unique to my whole collection at time of purchase.
Unique Count: 24 movies and 26 episodes
Unique Time: 3,619 minutes (2,047m for movies, 1,572m for episodes)

Purchase Date: Aug 23, 2009
Purch. Price: $4.00
Purch. Location: Microcenter, Bethel Rd, Columbus, Ohio
Packaging: Large cardboad box with cover that opens to reveal the storage area for the discs.  All discs are double sided.  Each disc gets a cardboard sleeve with information about the movies on that disc.

Notes: Why We Fight is a 7 film series by Frank Capra.  This collection contains films 1 through 6 but is missing film 7 'War Comes To America'.  The first six discs are mainly war movies while the last 6 discs are war documentaries.   I am considering the documentaries to be TV episodes since some of them are shorter and some of them were actually part of a TV show (The Big Picture). 

All movies in B&W unless noted
