This three-disc set, part of Warner's Essential Classics series, collects three films--The Wizard of Oz, The Goonies, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory--in one inexpensive package. (Apparently, 1985's The Goonies and 1971's Willy Wonka are considered modern classics.) The drawback is you don't get the bonus discs of The Wizard of Oz (either one bonus disc or two, depending on which version you're interested in)--so if you really want the documentaries or the silent films, you'll want to stick with the individual releases. But this set does include the commentary tracks, cast profiles, and any other material that was on the movie discs of the Oz sets, or anything that was on the previous Goonies or Wonka releases. Best of all, The Wizard of Oz has the great remastered picture of the two previous releases. So if you just want the movies looking better than ever with some bonus features thrown in for good measure, the price per movie makes this set an attractive bargain. --David Horiuchi

 Great Movies, but Wizard of Oz is not in Spanish as described February 6, 2008

I got the package because the description said the three movies were in spanish. I was surprised to find out that the Wizard of Oz has subtitles in spanish but is not translated to the language. I am dissapointed because my little boy (who does not understand English yet)wishes to watch the movie in Spanish.... Description of the movies should be corrected.
 You're kidding, right? April 11, 2007

Essential Classics - Family Films? Wizard of Oz, NO argument there. But 'The Goonies'? What reviewer thought that was a family classic? It's good but there are so many other movies that are better (e.g., 'It's a Wonderful Life' - yeah I know it's a Christmas movie, maybe there should be another Essential set called Christmas Classics along with 'Miracle on 34th Street' - the original not the insipid remakes). And 'Willy Wonka'? It's kind of quirky classic, more of a cult film, if you ask me. I think someone ought to go back and put together another three movies better suited to the moniker 'Classic Family Films'.
 These are 3 great family films! April 12, 2007

These are 3 great movies for the whole family. Spanning from the 30's to the 80's, you get some of the most exciting family movies ever made. I'm buying this set the day it is released and showing my entire family.
excellent! July 14, 2008

Three classic movies for a great price. This set costs about the same as each movie does individually.
Fantabulous November 20, 2008

This was a great find. I as looking for a copy of "the Wizard of Oz" for my granddaughters and gathering all three films together was a terrific bonus. They have become huge Willy Wonka fans, a next generation ! I know when they get a bit older, they will love "the Goonies" as much as their parents did.
