So Far... So Good.....
I would recommend this set to any lover of 1980's B and C grade movies. Seems like a few movies have overlapped from other echo bridge sets. Most notably the Too Cool For School set. Of the 20 or so I have watched from this set, the picture quality is average. some widescreen transfers, but some are downright terrible. Most notably Scarecrows, that is the worst.
All in all worth it. Good price, not all so great movies. Give it a try, you will find some that are worth it.

The Best of the Decade Collections
This review assumes that you have seen other 50 packs or have read some of the other reviews and are aware that these are B to Z grade movies with sub-par picture quality. The way I handle those problems is to just lower my expectations and enjoy. I have ten other 50 packs including all of the "decades" packs except the '70's, and so far the Excellent Eighties is my favorite. I think this is more of a "guy" set than the other decade collections.

This set has some risque content that I note in my descriptions. I use "nudity" to mean female toplessness, which is gratuitous but mostly in a non-sexual context. "Frontal" means private body hair is visible. A couple of the movies have simulated sex scenes and those are noted, but none show graphic sex. One movie shows female genitalia. The action films of course have violence and often crude language.
