"This three-disc boxed set is amateurish and disappointing. As an avid Oscar follower and fan, I considered this a must buy, but don't be fooled by the lack of similar titles - this just isn't worth it. The series is dogged by repetitive footage (no interviews are included, only scenes from trailers) and monotone narration that frankly drives you crazy after a few minutes. Very little insight is brought to the Oscars story, and the few bits of interesting information that are included would barely fill a 10 minute segment. At almost 10 hours, you can see how padded out it is... And, to add insult to injury, the image and sound quality is poor and the packaging shoddy! If you're interested in this subject, buy the Academy's authorised book "70 Years of the Oscar" instead..."
A "0" star DVD

"I can't believe a respectful studio like Image who release nice films such as "Bicycle thief", "City lights" "47 Ronins" & "Open City" would carry this low quality DVD gabbage. The contents of this DVD is unprofessional and distasteful. This DVD really cheats and insults "OSCAR" fans like us. Shame on you! Image."
A total waste of money!

"Bad audio, lousy picture quality. Enough said? Do yourself a favor: do not buy this insult to dvd technology."
A very poor DVD

"Video quality is so bad ( no star )that you wonder why they put it on DVD? Story is not much better. If you like tabloid type of gossip,it may be for you. "AFI's 100 years 100 movies" is a much better choice."
