Wow! If you don't already have your favorite Bond movie on blu-ray, this is the collection to buy. Three blu-ray movies on three discs for $14.98 --- you can't do better than that! These are the restored prints of these movies, and by restored I mean "restored". Incredible clarity, color, and sharpness! I doubt if the movies looked this good when they were initially released. I know these movies have been available on blu-ray before, but never at this low price. And there are extras galore --- commentary track, interviews, and other special features.Although all three of the movies in this first collection ("Dr. No", "From Russia With Love", and "Goldfinger") were originally filmed at the aspect ratio of 1.37:1, they were meant to be shown in the United States at 1.85:1 using a gate on the projector that cuts off a bit of the top and bottom of the picture to change the aspect ratio. That's the way they appear on your TV screen. (This is done by design to save money. Another popular movie that used this technique was the 1983 film "A Christmas Story".) This means there are no black bars on the top, bottom, or sides of the image. Each movie fills your TV screen.The only slight, very slight, objection I have is to the menu on each disc. In an effort to be cute, I suppose, you don't click on "Play" to start the movie, you click on "Initiate Mission"; instead of "Subtitles" you click on "Language Decryption": etc. This makes it more fun, I guess, but because of this I found the "Special Features" to be a bit tricky to navigate. This concern is probably mine alone, and as I said it's a very slight objection.I have seen each of these movies many times, and I vividly remember seeing "Dr. No" in a theater when it was originally released (I was very young). But watching these blu-ray editions was a revelation. It was as though I had never seen these movies before. The quality of the picture is absolutely astonishing!Very highly recommended!

Hubby watches James Bond movies all the time! Beats paying for rentals through cable company!

These are the original six Sean Connery James Bond movies, in two separate Blu-ray collections. Of course Connery is irresistible, and as for the movies themselves? Yes, they are finally showing their age, and they're slightly lower budgets than Bond fans are used to. But they're still entertaining, and of course you get to see the origin of all those catch phrases, gadgets, villains, and girls.

It's nice to see these classics in a better than average transfer.

Great Collection!! I'm a huge fan of the Sean Connery James Bond film (Especially Goldfinger) so I have been wanting this set for awhile. The Blu Ray Transfers are great! Crystal clear picture quality. The only downside when I received the collection the Slipcover and a nasty ding, No big deal as you can't see it when it on my selves.

My top 5 choices for James Bond films are: From Russia With Love, Skyfall, Gold Finger, Casino Royal and Dr No. On blue ray this is the best quality you can get. You also get a digital copy of each on in High Definition (cost 13 to 14 dollars each). Plus some nice extras. All for $15. Even if your not a big James Bond fan and just want a little James Bond then this is the item to get.My next choices would be the Daniel Craig Collection (2 other favorites) and the Sean Connery Collection Vol 2 (great deal and all pretty good films). Each Roger Moore Collection has a couple of OK films with some films of lower quality. Pierce Brosnan has Golden Eye with a few others that are pretty good and 1 of lower quality. George Lazenby has on 1 film which is a good one with Diana Rigg. But what is the point of a collection for him with no digital copy? Timothy Dalton has Living Daylights which is pretty good and a lesser film but no digital copy on his collection either.
