That Churning Sound You're Hearing ...
By J. Michael Click
... are the Brothers Warner - Jack, Harry, Sam and Albert - spinning in their graves.

What a travesty! As other reviewers have already pointed out, most of the films included in this "Best of Warner Brothers" collection were neither produced nor released by that legendary studio. And this grab-bag isn't representative of the studio's rich history or its hallmark early style: tough, gritty, fast-moving crowd-pleasers that included some of the key films in the gangster, musical, and biographical genres.

But what makes this collection a joke is not only what was included ... it's what was left out! None of the films produced under the studio's prolific First National banner are included, so you won't find such landmark films such as "Little Caesar" (1930), the Oscar-nominated "Flirtation Walk" (1934), or the award-winning "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938) among the mix. Where is "The Jazz Singer" (1927), the film that ushered in the sound era? Or any of the famous Busby Berkeley musicals like "42nd Street" (1932) or "Gold Diggers of 1933"? Or Best Picture Oscar winners "The Life of Emile Zola" (1937) and "My Fair Lady" (1964)? Or Bette Davis' Best Actress winning turn as "Jezebel" (1938)? Where are the box office blockbusters, historical standard bearers, and critical smashes like "Public Enemy" (1931), "Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933), "The Story of Louis Pasteur" (1936), "Dark Victory" (1939), "Sergeant York" (1941), "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), "Now, Voyager" (1942), "Mildred Pierce" (1945), "Key Largo" (1948), "A Star is Born" (1954), "East of Eden" (1955), "Giant" (1956) ... etc., etc.? The list of what legitimately could and should have been included goes on and on.

Looking over the list of films in this package, it quickly becomes obvious that some misguided and cynical marketing executive took a look at the library titles that had previously been released on blu-ray, and decided to repackage them along with a couple of new documentaries to make a quick buck. No, thank you, I won't even be interested in this set when it eventually (and inevitably) becomes a close-out item at 75% - 90% off the original suggested retail price. The Warner Brothers and we, the public, deserve better.

OK, let's be honest...
By calvinnme
... bunches of these films were not even released by Warner Brothers. They are now owned by Warner Brothers, which has the largest film library in the world. This collection include the films of MGM, RKO, New Line Cinema, and various other films that somehow found their way into the Warner Brothers film library. For that matter why not include some of the films whose distribution rights were sold to Warner Brothers last year by the Sam Goldwyn estate? They have as much to do with Warner Brothers the studio and its history as Grand Hotel and Mutiny on the Bounty, both made during the Irving Thalberg era of MGM.

Is this a five star collection of films? Certainly. I subtract two stars for trotting out the same old titles again and again and I subtract another star for just plain trying to pull the wool over my eyes and doing a bad job of it at that.
