There's plenty of action, adventure, some romance and even some comedy! This is some great stuff, with some great names. If you are a Western lover, and can watch em' for more than a month of Sunday's, you'll love these sets.And what a reasonable price!(check the sellers for some really good deals!) I've listed each individual volume contained, so that if you prefer to buy them singley, you'll know what you are getting.Oh and by the way, not all are family films..the selection ranges from rated G to R. Most of the earlier volumes(1-10)feature specific actors. I have the first single volume and it has four Randolph Scott oaters. If you are interested, please see my review of Great American Western Vol.1,which describes the films and the DVD transfers.

Saddle Up and Enjoy...Happy Trails....Laurie
