Are any of these films stand outs? Very interested in the set!

A little relieved this isn't coming out for months. With all the recent sales and spending I wouldnt have wanted to try to justify an immediate purchase.

Look forward to this one.

Almost all of them are between 6 and 6.9 on IMDB. Nothing really exceptional, but it would appear they are approaching this the right way a lot of decent films for a reasonable price.

711 Ocean Drive and The Black Book (aka Reign of Terror) are standouts. Black Book's about the French Revolution, but considering the subject matter and time period, it's about as noir it can get. As directed by Anthony Mann and lensed by John Alton, it's a gritty thriller full of betrayal, jeopardy and shadowy cinematography.

711 Ocean Drive has an imaginative premise. An electrician (Edmond O'Brien) leverages his wiring skills into becoming a major player in a crime syndicate. The execution is strong, though perhaps the film could've exploited the inherent noir potential even more. Exciting climax atop the Hoover Dam.
