DVD Talk Gold Edition
At first I was going to say that Day of the Dolphin (Directed by Mike Nichols, starring George C. Scott) and the original Assault on Precinct 13 SE (early John Carpenter) are in there. But the first in apparently a non-anamorphic title and neither are a deal (DD has both for 50 center more shipped).

Well, I'd fully expect one of these atrocities on clearance to show up in a movie basket with some popcorn, Mike and Ikes, and a copy of The Love Guru bought for $8 on Black Friday. Preferably one of the Ron White DVD's or the Nick and Jessica "variety hour".
The only thing even worth picking up IMO is The Pee-wee Herman Show.

The more expensive Home Vision edition of Day of the Dolphin is anamorphic, but I'm not sure about the version that's on sale, since Amazon has a frustrating habit of including all reviews of the film, whether they refer to the edition in question or not. That being said, I believe Home Vision is distributed by Image, who put out the sale version, so it is possible that both are anamorphic.

While I'm sure these are good sets, and a good bargain, most collectors prefer the newer Definitive collection sets. The newer sets are grouped chronologically, by season (e.g. "Season 1, etc). Also, they were supposedly remastered, with better picture and sound (although I haven't compared them). Finally, the Definitive sets are supposed to have more extras. They can also be purchased one season at a time...you don't have to purchase the entire collection. Not much of a bargain right now ($70 per season), but the complete set can sometimes be found on sale for a decent price.

The Twilight Zone collections are a damned good deal for people not caring about the few extras that the remastered version contains. The fact that these are not organized into season sets is no big deal, since this wasn't a serialized show. Even the occasional DD sale doesn't bring the price of the season sets close to what it would cost to get all 5 volumes in this sale.
