NFL Films: Legends of Autumn, Vols. 1-3 [DVD]

Just need return information, please!

When I first got these DVDs, I found that none of the three DVDs played on my DVD players that I have in my house. So that was certainly disappointing. However, it seems like this could be a chronic problem for these disks, as I have read that others have had a similar experience according to the comments here. So I sent my package back to Amazon, which has a generous return policy, and I reordered from another seller. The disks I received from the other seller work great, and the content is very enjoyable. So I don't know if there is a problem in a factory somewhere, but if you do get a set of bum desks, just re-order and try again. It is worth it. As far as the content, it is vintage NFL films. Some of the selections can be viewed on other DVDs, for example in lost treasures of the NFL, the story of the birth of NFL films can be viewed on the lost treasures of the NFL DVD series that they put out about a decade ago, and also they have the famous 1974 season recap, the classic one with John Facenda reading poetry about the black mustaches of the Oakland Raiders. Anyway it seems to be definitely worth the price, as it seems like it's not that expensive for how is generously they loaded the disks. Perfect for anybody who loves the history of the NFL, especially of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

If you're looking for a negative review, about anything produced by NFL Films, from this reviewer, you are going to be looking for a long time. I love just about all their stuff, particularly from the 1960s and 1970s -- the golden era(s) of NFL Films and the NFL. This 3-disc set is classic NFL at its best. There are various highlight films from the 60s and 70s, with episodes of the popular "Lost Treasures" series, produced for NFL Network, provided as Bonus material. One feature on each disc includes a "commentary" option, where you can play the program while at the same time listening to Steve Sabol, of NFL Films, spin stories about what you are looking at. It's not as annoying as you might think ... :-)Disc 011962 NFL Championship highlight film -- Green Bay Packers v.

Great bargain to get 3 discs for this outstanding price!! WOW!! Sadly, the discs are not good quality and they will not always play properly, and sometimes they won't play at all. The first 3-disc package I received, only one of the three discs played and it was choppy. Returning and exchanging these discs was very simple and was not an inconvenience whatsoever. Kudos to the great customer service!!! Now 2 of the replacement discs that I received will play, and one will not play at all. The great thing about these discs is that there are special bonus segments added from the "Lost Treasures" library collection. If watching old nostalgic NFL footage with that classic old Sam Spence music and the unmistakable voice of John facenda is your thing, then these discs are definitely for you! Hopefully you will score 3 for 3!!!

Video stopped quite a lot - not enjoyable. I would like a replacement set

What a fine collection of NFL films from the 60's and 70's. This was how football was meant to be played--hard nosed and with professionalism.The music of Sam Spence and the footage from these films make a great collection for any real NFL fan. Unlike the over-paid thugs of today that call themselves professionals who have to pound their chest and make a scene of themselves after every tackle or play. Notice back in the 60's and 70's the players did their job and went back to the huddle. Sure you had a few players celebrate once in a while but not like today and these players played the game because they had a common goal--to win a Super Bowl. The players of today just follow the mighty dollar. No wonder there is no loyalty on the owners part or players. Why should the fans be loyal?? Let's keep alive the true spirit of the NFL with these fine films and music from the past.  The Super '70s  Also recommend The Super '70s for fine reading from this era. Autumn Thunder: 40 Years of NFL Films Music  Autumn Thunder for more fine music from Sam Spence. Well Done.

This collection of NFL Films programs from the 1960s and 1970s are fantastic!They take you back to an age when the NFL was humbler and the game was more fun.You actually get a chance to see what pro football looked like when men named Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, and Jim Brown played.I have 2 very minor criticisms, though:1. If you have the DVDs of all the Super Bowls like I do, some of the films are included in those sets. However, these DVDs make accessing them easier.2. Steve Sabol's intros to the films are too reverential and gushing. Part of me wanted to cry tears of joy, and the other part wanted to laugh at their artificiality.

The main reason I purchased this was to hear the incredible voice of John Facenda combined with the music of Sam Spence playing over the slow motion of NFL Films. It was worth it. Some of the Lost Treasures is nice too. Amazing how clear some of the film is. If you are a big fan, of some NFL history then you will find what you are looking for. It was great to see some of these old NFL stadiums that were also used as Baseball ball parks. Good stuff.
