Stanley Kramer collection for 7.23 at amazon fulfilled in marketplace

http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Kramer...4772049&sr=1-1

This looks to be a great deal. It used to run for 40 dollars. It has one movie only available in this collection. The member of the wedding is exclusive. And I think it has a bonus on the director in the set.

I've been wanting this set for a while. I almost paid fifteen for it somewhere else. But I decided to check amazon first And saw the amazing deal.

Re: Stanley Kramer collection for 7.23 at amazon fulfilled in marketplace

I went for it from a seller in the Marketplace so I didn't have to add anything to get free shipping. Total was: $7.23 shipped! A great deal since I don't have any of these films in my collection and haven't even seen a couple of them.

Many thanks to G for posting this fantastic deal!

I really only care about two movies in the collection - "The Wild Ones" and "The 5000 Fingers..." - but at that price I couldn't pass it up.

Re: Stanley Kramer collection for 7.23 at amazon fulfilled in marketplace

Thanks, g. The Member of the Wedding is my favorite in the set, and was not released separately. Ship of Fools was previously released, but not in the correct aspect ratio as it is in this set. I dislike Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and am not that crazy about The Wild One (although Mary Murphy was gorgeous), but The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. is wonderful. Great deal, although I don't know if I'll be able to bear watching two liberal (and seemingly too old) parents struggle over whether they can accept the perfect son-in-law.

As for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner...everyone seems to bash it today (and I think Spike Lee bashed it 20 years ago) but people forget how different times were then. There just weren't interracial films (well, kinda sorta with Whites and Indians, but the gal almost always had to die) I just enjoy it on the level of watching 3 great actors work together...Ship of Fools is the hardest film of this group for me to watch, could have been a lot better....

Thanks for the heads up. Never heard of this set and when I looked into it had to buy it, especially at the price. Even though the reviews weren't great, looking forward to seeing the movie that Dr. Seuss helped create. Mine shipped today.

Re: Stanley Kramer collection for 7.23 at amazon fulfilled in marketplace

Most of the negative reviews were because they wanted the Member of the Wedding released seperately. It remains exclusive to the set. The set had a high price for a long time and those interested in that film didn't want to pay the price of the set.

Re: Stanley Kramer collection for 7.23 at amazon fulfilled in marketplace

LJG765, you posted on 9/1. Did you find it at Amazon for $7.23 on 9/1 or did you buy on 8/31 but not post until 9/1? The reason I ask is I checked around midnight on 8/31 or very early on 9/1 and there were no marketplace sellers for $7.23 or anywhere close to that. So I assumed this was a 1-day deal.

Damn, I missed it. Best deal now is $8.87 + 2.98 shipping, which still isn't bad, but knowing it was 5 bucks cheaper would bother me.

My box arrived today, thanx OP! I already own The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, but all of the Kramer other films were on my radar, and at that price I couldn't say no.

I saw this deal when it was first posted and there were two MP sellers that had it for 7.23 and 7.24 w/ FSSS. Azulio had it for 4.25 (7.23 shipped) and newbury_comics had it for around 7.68 w/ FSSS. I bought mine from Azulio and noticed the next morning that all the sellers still had copies. Later that day newbury comics and Azulio were the only ones that had copies and eventually (maybe early 9/1) Azulio raised the price to 7.23 (11.21 shipped) and was at that time the lowest. Still a decent price at 11.xx shipped, but I already had two of the movies and probably would not have bought this at that price.

BTW I think the Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is the 2D version that was released on the same date.

Congrats to everyone who got in on this, including me! At less than $1.50 per movie this has to be one of the best deals of the year. Thanks again to g!

Yes it is. Also the price of that(guess whos coming to dinner 2 disc) alone was more expensive than this whole set.

I was able to get one for 7.23, and, while a fine deal, is far from my best deal of the year. And that reminds me, has there ever been a thread towards the end of the year where people can post their best deal of the year? I think that would be a fun read.

Well I did say "one of the best deals of the year," not necessarily THE best. However it's probably mine, but I doubt I buy as many as most who post in these forums. Less than a buck fifty a movie certainly qualifies as one of the best deals of the year FOR ME! YMMV!
