What exactly are Anchor Bay's 'Cult Fiction' DVDs?
(if it matters, I searched the thread history before starting up this one)
I haven't been able to find an adequate description of just exactly what the 'Cult Fiction' DVDs are. Are they simply the same transfers repackaged and stripped of bonus features? I certainly don't plan on double-dipping, but I've considered picking up Fitzcarraldo.
Thanks.

Seems like they are mostly the same release. I suggest getting Fitzcarraldo as part of the Herzog/Kinski set.
As for Cult Fiction, I dont remember all the releases, but I do remember Class of 84, Night of the Living Dorks, Fitzcarraldo, and a few others.

Fitzcarraldo is the only one that's a lot cheaper than the normal DVD. And, like The Wicker Man, the tattered grindhouse-looking artwork seems so laughably out of place!

If anyone still cares...
I just picked up the 'Cult Fiction' Fitzcarraldo, and after sliding off the goofy cardboard slipcase, it's the exact same DVD as http://dvdspot.com/dvd.php?d=1310411649 , same UPC & everything. Methinks this 'Cult Fiction' series is a ploy to sell off overstocked Anchor Bay DVDs. But if you don't already own Fitzcarraldo, the 'Cult Fiction' retail price is $20 cheaper. Which isn't the case with most of the 'CF' series (the original version of CHUD is cheaper).
