Unfortunately, out of those films, I'd consider only Shepherd of the Hills a classic. (Though I'd hasten to add that it's a vastly underappreciated classic.) I guess the von Sternberg connection to Jet Pilot and the general bizarre-ness of The Conqueror make those two worth a glance by any film buff. But on the whole, this is a rather disappointing collection, IMO.
