Few of these movies in UHD was sold for the same price recently in fanflix deal, but that deal is expired.

What a dogshit list in almost every category. No thanks

The only list that makes a little sense is the family one (Labyrinth, Hook, Jumanji) but those other lists? Barf

The Movies of Our Time and Classics collections are the best if you missed the Fanflix sale last week. Not a single "barf" movie among those bundles.

Except that sale was 4K.

As pointed out some of these are in 4K and go on sale but since this deal is HD many are $2 D2D titles if you can find your discs.

These 5 film deals are tough to bite on unless your current movie collection is really small. Most people who are interested in a particular category are going to have at least one movie in the collection already.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

There is some other good movies on the other bundles. No need to say dogshit.

It's usually this or one or two movies in the bundle are such duds that it makes it hard to justify the bundle.

Even if this was "mix and match" I'd have a rough time finding 5 movies that I either don't have or would ever want to view. At $4 a movie these kinds of "packages" are dubious deals.

Many of the classics have now been released in 4k as well; so even if a grouping is good, the fact that they're being offered in only HD makes this a non-starter for me.

Contrary to the overly critical fools above, these bundles are pretty decent. Most have 3/5 decent movies for the category and a lot have 4/5, so that comes out to $6.66/movie or $5, which isn't terrible.

No, the movies aren't fine cinema or anything, but for example, the "Must Watch movies of our time" collection has 5 better-than-average movies.
