Amazingly fast shipping. I ordered this on Monday and it arrived today. It's a really classy-looking set as well, befitting it's subject.

Hi NoirFan

Can you let me know if the later films are OAR and if so, are they anamorphic?

Thanks

I'm hoping they are. I tried to do some research before buying them but couldn't find any reviews that called anything out.

Letterbox. Meh. At least Charade is anamorphic.

Our box arrived today safe and sound. Thanks for pointing this out, Noirfan!

It's times like this I really wish Amazon still had their 30-day price reduction guarantee. I would have saved a couple of hundred bucks the last year or so. I sent an email off anyway, and was promptly rejected.

It's funny, I had ordered this a couple of weeks ago, but my order did not ship yet as another item in the order was still not in stock. I was able to cancel it this morning and place a new order at the lower price. One of the rare times I am happy that an order was help up.
