[Jah-Wren Ryel]

Jesus, I think this is the third dip on this set.
Keep an eye out for misprices confusing possible close-out prices on the original set with this set. I'd pay about 20 bucks for this triple dip, but that's about it.

[Dane Marvin]

^ Considering they are 2-discers this time around, I'm in for at least 3 of these titles, meaning it will probably be cheaper for me to buy the whole box set. I never did buy any of these before though, as I have a fear of snappers.

No love for Barry Lyndon? Or... just sloppy ad copy?

No Barry Lyndon in the set..... double-checked for 'ya ! Although, new version is getting released on it's own - Barry Lyndon (http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?partner_id=49648684&

userid=99365827904236&item_id=1357115&searchID=261502)

[Vendetta-AKK]

I will buy this set either way because Kubrick is my favorite director, but I am getting impatient waiting to here whether Eyes Wide Shut will be Uncensored or not.

[excom101]

Seeing as that comes out the same day, I have to assume that it's actually in the set-- and the info on the website is incomplete.

[yeldarb367]

^ It isn't in the set. Just these five. Look up the thread about the collection in the DVD Talk section.

[wilky61]

Those prices for the individual movies ($21 for 2001:ASO) are kinda steep. I'm gonna wait till the fall 20% off sale that'll occur 2 weeks after the release date and grab just 2001:ASO and The Shining.

Same deal with Lolita. A new version that day but it's not in the set.

[punit]

I cross checked the contents of the set from DVDAF (http://www.dvdaf.com/price-one.html?dvd=101071)

[An4h0ny]

if Barry Lyndon was in there instead of ews i would already be on this

hard to believe i revere every movie in that set so thoroughly and yet detest ews so much that i simply refuse to own it.

when chicks that hot are walking around naked and i'm still bored... clearly something's rotten in Kubrickville

[bluetoast]

I'm wondering why they left out Barry Lyndon and Lolita...and on top of that, why do Kubrick collections start off in the Lolita time period and not with his earlier works? Is that because of WB associations?

Not to mention whether it's OAR or Kubrick's specifications, and uncensored EWS. I'll wait for November, but this looks good.

[awil1026]

I have NEVER double dipped, but I'm awfully tempted to do so here.

[Johnny Zhivago]

It's a no brainer double dip for the new anamorphic transfers... But I'm still waiting to hear about the transfers for Lolita and Barry Lyndon (as mentioned, same day re-re-re-releases and not a part of the set). There has been nothing but silence concerning anamorphic for those two.

[HE Pennypacker]

Ah, the wait pays off. I have never owned any Kubrick titles, October will be very sweet tasting for me.

[alfonsosoriano]

I can't wait to get this. I only own Dr. Strangelove so there will be no dipping for me. I'll probably grab it in the next 20% off sale.

[Rammsteinfan]

Definitely getting the set. Only have FMJ and I have had the other movies on my wish list. This is the perfect time to purchase.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I own most of the Kubrick titles and am gladly double dipping.

[mnementh]

Is Warner releasing a high-def version of that box set?

[SendHelp]

nice! been waiting a long time for the shining in WS!

[excom101]

^ It isn't in the set. Just these five. Look up the thread about the collection in the DVD Talk section.

Yeah... that thread doesn't shed any more light on the subject than this one. It's all speculation. All I'm saying is that early ad copy for sets like this is often error/omission ridden, and I'm not giving up hope yet. Anyone remember the "4-disc" Almodovar collection? Plus, if you look at the listing on Warner's own site, it lists all of the titles that you all have been talking about and then says that there are 9 discs. But the listed discs add up to 10; error number one...

I'm not yet convinced that this ad copy (no matter how many sources you check the same copy at) is 100% accurate.

[punit]

Alright, the same set has been listed today for 58.51 at DD here (http://deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=21276583&src1=ddaf&extid=df00017)

If this price doesn't change too much then by the time the 20% sale comes in late Nov - early Dec, the price will be around $46.80 which would be a pretty sweet deal. I just got $26 net (after Amazon comission and shipping cost) for Clockwork and 2001 in anticiptation of this set. So I don't mind paying an extra 20 to get the other titles as well. Can't wait.

[lxl]

I have the 1st and the 2nd version box set, so I probably will not pre-order the new version.

I think they should include all Kubrick's films (The Killing, Paths of Glory, etc.) in one box set, if they do, I'll jump in.

[Ravid]

The Killing, Killer's Kiss, and Paths of Glory are owned by MGM. Spartacus is owned by Universal, and Dr. Strangelove is owned by Sony. So I don't see how they'd be included in a Warner Bros. box set :)

[cupcake jesus]

I think they should include all Kubrick's films (The Killing, Paths of Glory, etc.) in one box set, if they do, I'll jump in.

It would be nice, but they're not owned by Warners. IIRC, Killer's Kiss, The Killing, and Paths of Glory are all MGM, Spartacus is Universal, Dr. Strangelove is Sony/Columbia, and Lolita, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, 2001, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut belong to Warner Bros. Fear and Desire, along with his short films are without distribution. You could always compile a complete box set yourself. It would be nice to have a uniform cover design for all the films.

cheers,

[dman988]

Hey, that didn't stop The Oliver Stone set.

[Dr. Mantle]

I noticed that Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures (http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99365874169993&item_id=1357068&searchID=396233) has it own page. I though this would only be available in the boxed set.

[superdeluxe]

I know there was a reason why I don't have any of the titles yet :)

[wilky61]

DeepDiscount has the individual movies up for pre-order.

20.74 for 2001:ASO, EWS, ACO (16.59 during 20% off sale)
14.93 for The Shining (11.94 during 20% off sale)
13.48 for Lolita, Barry Lyndon (10.78 during 20% off sale)

[riotinmyskull]

is full metal jacket getting it's own individual release???

[wilky61]

^According to DVDActive, yes, but I've seen absolutely zero info about it so far...

[darkessenz]

What is so special about these? Extras? I would probably bust for an EWS & the shining

[bwsmom]

A heads-up to those of you in the Pacific Northwest: the Northwest Film Center in Portland will be holding a Kubrick retrospective over the next few weeks (starting TONIGHT), with showings of several of his best works. For complete info, see NFC Kubrick retrospective (http://www.nwfilm.org/screenings/?volissue=355&series=3).

[Funk]

Anyone seen B&M circular prices for these yet?

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

If there was ONE title that cries out for a steelbook release it is Full Metal Jacket.

[DrnknMstr2]

I just pre-ordered this through the Warner site using the discount code for 25% off and I ended up paying $45 for it.
Of course, in order to get that price I had to pre-order someting else, at a good price as well, to make that $50 free shipping mark.

So yea. I would say that is the way to go.

[RJ MacReady]

Just preordered this from DVD Empire using their $12 off $60 coupon (code: 1372720), got it for $51.78 shipped ($60.79 - $12.00 = $48.79 + $2.99 S&H = $51.78). Not a bad deal.

[skywalker8]

Is the box set coming out in High Def? I've only seen the individual titles listed.

Thanks for the tip - got the box + Barry Lyndon for $60 shipped incl. tax.

Do you remember the code for the 25% off?

[cgray]

For whatever reason, the set does not appear to be coming out in Hi-Def. I'm confused by this too.

[Subgeniusguy]

I ordered them all in HD DVD individually from the Warner site. You can also get the Life in Pics doc separately but only SD. My CC is showing the charge so hopefully they are shipping soon. I agree it's weird no HD or BR box. Probably would have been a substantial discount. DVDBeaver has comparisons up for 2001 and Shining. Want me some widescreen Shining.

[naitram]

Why no Barry Lyndon HD? I hate to buy it (again) on SD just to have it announced for HD later. Same with Life in Pictures doc.

[xfusejc]

Got it for $55.99 off Amazon.

[benh911]

Just picked it up from FamilyVideo for 41.96 with $5 off coupon NEWMEM5F.
That's the cheapest I believe, even without the coupon.

Any B&M's beat this? The only ad that had any info on this set that I saw was BB.

[FangsFirst]

is full metal jacket getting it's own individual release???

^According to DVDActive, yes, but I've seen absolutely zero info about it so far...

No, it's exclusive to the box, stupidly.

PS: thanks BenH! I'm all over that price!

[alfonsosoriano]

I highly doubt any B&M's will beat familyvideos price. It's even cheaper than DD + 20% sale (in November).

[bluetoast]

Nobody beats this unless you're new to Google Checkout, which makes it $39 and change over at Buy.com

Edit: And on that note, just ordered it from familyvideo. Thanks Ben!

[Geofferson]

Just placed an order with familyvideo - great price! :up:

[brhow]

family video is now showing the set as being on backorder.

[Living Deadpan]

family video is now showing the set as being on backorder.

And now Amazon's saying "Usually ships 5 to 6 weeks." DVD Empire has it On Order. And curiously, Columbia House just added it to their catalog but as a pre-order for November 19th.

[RJ MacReady]

Yeah, WTF? I pre-ordered it from DVD Empire weeks ago and it's showing as backordered on my account.

[riotinmyskull]

BJ's has this for $50 which i believe is the cheapest B&M price. saw it there today.

[awil1026]

My status on familyvideo says IN FULFILLMENT. Don't know if that matters or not...

[bogrod]

My order from familyvideo.com says the same thing. When contacting them, this is what they said:

"Unfortunately due to some internal problems at Warner, the release date for your movie has been pushed back. We will be shipping out your movie as soon as it arrives."

After reading some other threads it appears that online retailers have had some problems with this release. Amazon.com is now saying 5 to 6 weeks until shipment. I kind of wonder if this is going to lead to some serious gouging for prices on ebay for those who managed to snag copies at Best Buy and so forth.

[Imail724]

Thanks for the coupon code for Family Video, just placed an order. As for it being back ordered, it doesn't really matter to me because I won't be getting it until around Christmas anyway. Just hope it comes with the correct, door artwork for The Shining.

[arbogast777]

Family Video has these back in stock and still available for $41.97 with coupon!
