				Cheap Boxsets (8, 10, 20, 25, 50 Movies)
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I'm kind of wondering about these boxsets you see around. Advertising a ridiculous amount of films for a low, low price. Often 50 movies for under 15$. 
 
Now, I know most of the films are public domain. (no problem...) 
 
They are all full-frame. (no problem...) 
 
They all have poor video and audio quality (Is it blocky, like poorly compressed web video? I'd rather VHS-quality).  
 
They have 2-3 or more movies on a single disc. (no problem...) 
 
I have heard that some sets have LOGOS that appear THROUGHOUT the films. Do they ALL have this, and if not, which don't? I can handle everything else but I absolutely hate logos that appear during films. I mean... if it's a small logo like in a corner, such as a tv station bug... that's fine. But a big watermark in the middle of the picture is a no-no. 
 
I also found some 8-movie boxes for 10$ with ANAMORPHIC VIDEO transfers... talk about shocking. There is a SCHOOL DAZED set, an AFTER DARK set, MAXIMUM ACTION, DRIVE-IN CLASSICS... etc. Titles like Hunk, Jocks, Pickup, The Teacher, My Tutor, Malibu High, etc... The same titles on those Grindhouse double-feature DVDs... same company, so same transfers.
