The restauration of some of the better known films is just amazing and most of the music added is pretty good. The special features are often good as well.

I liked the silent films best but that said even the several talkies are very good as well though for different reasons. The set I had I had great difficulty with - I have two DVD players, a Samsung the more expensive of the two, and a Digilogic a cheap thing from Tesco, and found the latter best at playing the DVD's. Only 2 of the 9 would play on the Samsung so I had to copy the others from the cheap Tesco player onto Video tapes in order to watch them in the comfort of my lounge. I was told that the more expensive the DVD player the more likely it is to cause problems. In two cases I had to clean the discs with meths to get them to play at all. But these problems aside, these are well worth buying and will provide hours of pleasure. I think it is a pity the Amazon lists don't tell us what films each set contains, I would like to buy more, he made over 200 films, but don't want to duplicate those in this set.

The films in this set are
Movie Crazy/Welcome Danger/Hot water/Now or Never/High and Dizzy/Get out and Get under/Ask Father/From hand to mouth/The Freshman/The Kid brother/Bumping into Broadway/Bills Blazes/Speedy/Number please/A Sailor made man/I do/For Heavens sake/Why Worry/Dr Jack/Feet first/Safety Last/An Eastern Westenener/Girl shy/Never weaken//Haunted spooks/Haunted spooks/Grandma

I was lambasted by my family for purchasing this DVD box as I had already possessed US version of this for about 3years .

Then why did I lay out money on this again? The reason is that of course I am an ardent admirer of Lloyd and this UK version is superior to its US counterpart in that it carries Lloyd's commemorative first talkie called "Welcome Danger" produced in 1929.

Now that I've enjoyed what I had long wanted to, I can say that it was worth getting it.

Living in Japan I don't have to use special device to watch this DVD box as my country shares the same region code for DVD with the UK.

However I only give four stars to evaluate. Why? Well,it is because unlike the US version, each film is not accompanied by English subtitles and thus I find, as a non-native speaker of English, it is very disappointing and inconvenient the omission of English subtitles forbids me full appreciation of the talkies.

As there have already been six reviews pointing out how generally great these films are, I won't go over it all again. But I was slightly disappointed that this set only goes back as far as 1919, cutting out his pre-glasses incarnations, plus most of his work with Bebe Daniels. I'd have liked to have seen some of his earlier films out of interest, perhaps in place of a couple of the talkies (do we really need to be shown five times why he went out of fashion?) or the less edifying extras.
This reveiw probably sounds harsher than it's meant to be - in reality, the esteemed Mr. Lloyd is now a much-loved member of our household, and has brought us hours of joy. Also, it's refreshing to see comedy that's purely for entertainment, as opposed to all this trying desperately to be 'shocking' that's saturated the genre now. Just, if it was me putting this compilation together, I'd have gone for a more even spread of dates.

By chance I saw part of one of Harold Lloyd's silent movies on TV, normally I would not watch a black and white movie let alone a silent film but I started laughing and realised what comic genius I was witness to. Ordering this set came soon after.

You might have trouble getting them out of the box. They're packed in there so tightly that I literally had to get a knife and cut the case to get the individual dvds out but I don't think I can take off a star just for that.

Movies like 'A Sailor made man', 'Safety Last' and 'Why Worry' really make this set worthwhile on their own but there's lots of other good films and shorts, too.

A wonderful set to have in your collection. Anyone who doesn't think they could sit down and enjoy a silent movie (though there are also a few 'talkies' on here) will be converted as soon as one of the movies are played for them.
