Rating: Summary: Wait...save your cash! Review: I really, really wanted to get this DVD...been waiting for NFL films to put together footage of the 1950's & 60's. But I was less then satisfied, anything on this DVD can be seen on TV, ESPN and now on the NFL channel. It's over produced with lots of talking which is OK if back up with video that last more then 30 seconds....each volume lasts 41 minutes, so you get only about two hours, but with lots of repetition. Bottom line- this is not for the serious fan...watch it on TV and not waste your money like I did.
Rating: Summary: TRUE LOST TREASURES Review: The Sabol Family were ahead of their time with the creation of NFL Films:The incredible game footage (a ton of it shot in slow motion) that was artistic, the legendary music of Sam Spence, the "Voice of God", John Facenda's narration; It was a heady brew that worked and continues to work. This 3 disc set is the ESPN Classic Lost Treasures series and it plays better here than on the original (cable) network run. Like with the CD THE POWER & THE GLORY: THE MUSIC OF NFL FILMS, bring on the next volume.

Rating: Summary: Best Football DVD ever (until the next set comes out!) Review: This is a great DVD. Steve Sabol is fantastic. This is for the major football geek. Watch it with the CD- NFL - The Power and the Glory. Football Heaven!!! There is nothing in this DVD you won't like. Great old footage. Only a little more John Facenda would be the only addition that would enhance this a little bit. Don't pass this up. Buy this and get the CD, you won't be sorry.

Rating: Summary: Classic AFL/NFL Review: This is part of an ongoing series from NFL films. They each seem to have been produced in successive years. 1999, 2000 and 2001. Part one goes back to the beginnings of NFL films and talks about how the company came into being. The DVD contains some really classic shots from the early to mid 60's and is exclusively NFL stuff. No AFL on this one. The whole DVD is narrated by Steve Sabol. His father was the founder of NFL films. Part two was my favorite being from an AFL city. This DVD is exclusively AFL footage of the original 10 AFL teams. Mostly mid to late 60's. All in color. Quality is amazing. Looks like most of this footage was shot last week. Not 35 years ago. Part three focuses on the first year after the merger between AFL and NFL. 1970. Again the DVD is narrated by Steve Sabol and he talks mostly about the transition and how relatively smoothly this merger went. I'm really looking forward to new additions to this series. Steve Sabol seems to indicate they have enough footage to produce these things forever.
