Three hundred bucks for some old movies? Well, yes. Among the 24 features in this humungous collection, due out Dec. 4, are all the classic titles John Ford made in his two decades at the Fox studio — The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, My Darling Clementine, The Prisoner of Shark Island. You also get five silent films, famous (The Iron Horse) and rare (the 1920 Just Pals), and some of the delightful programmers he made with Fox's big 30s stars, Will Rogers (Steamboat Round the Bend) and Shirley Temple (Wee Willie Winkie). As for the price, so what? Christmas is coming, and the old-film fan in you deserves a treat. Besides, this set costs only $16 more than Seinfeld: The Complete Series, and, hell, you can see all those episodes on free TV.
