Re: UHD release announcements
Link doesn't work for me and a search on Amazon doesn't pull it up...what was the Amazon price on this? That seems like an odd selection of movies. Swap out Jerry Maguire and A League of Their Own for, say On the Waterfront and Bridge on the River Kwai, and then we'd be talking. Not that I don't like Jerry and League, but come on...they really don't fit in.

Re: UHD release announcements
While I'm interested in owning most of those titles (some of which I never even got on DVD or Blu-ray), I'm super not interested in such a large ugly box to house them.

Also, this box set is limited to 8000 copies. And we should see more volumes of Classics coming later this year. Hopefully, once they've sold through some of these box sets, they'll release the titles individually later.

Re: UHD release announcements
The Columbia Classics set is 112.99 at Target, and is part of their B2G1. Of course, the problem would be finding something to get with it.

Well they'll be able to split the Lawrence discs at the intermission mark the way it was in the theaters.

I only want Dr. Strangelove so hopefully it gets a standalone release soon after. I also don't want Taxi Driver to end up being held hostage in a later set either.

Gandhi sucks. I never want to see that movie again. I like the others but I already have Dr Strangelove twice on Blu Ray. How many times do I need to buy that movie?
