I found a very small stash of Citerion Collection Silence of the Lambs. I know this is about to be re-released on a (possibly) 2-disc set with a boatload of extras but I also know there are lots of Criterion completists and apparently the commentaries on the CC might not make it to the new SE version. So, at $39.99, do you all think I should just pick these up?

There have been literally hundreds of posts here on this. If you search you can read all kinds of opinions. Btw, these are still available from several online retailers and many, many B&Ms.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but I don't see much resale value in these. The "completionists" you describe undoubtedly have their copy already. Anybody else who just wants to have the movie (such as myself) would rather just wait for the new version. Not only will it be half the price of the Criterion, but it sounds like the transfer will be even better (anamorphic, for one), and a bunch of new extras. If the commentary doesn't make it to the new disc, oh well.

If the forum still displayed the location of the poster it would be helpful.
