All your favourite film moments wrapped up into one nostalgia-fest - what a treat to wallow in on a cold, grey day. The old trailers were a fascinating glimpse of social history, and an indicator of how film promotions have changed over the past 50 years.

Tab Hunter (there's a name to bring back memories) does an adequate job on commentary. I would have liked more details on the making of some of the classics, but no doubt time constraints and editing are probably to blame - there was a lot to pack in.

All in all, very enjoyable viewing.
