EDIT:
I belatedly recall seasons of "The Virginian" and "Alias Smith & Jones" among the additional western TV box sets I saw.

Saw the Elia Kazan Box set for about $80.

Disc 1
A Letter to Elia (2010): Martin Scorsese directs and narrates this look at director Elia Kazan. From his triumphs with films such as On the Waterfront to his controversial naming of names during the McCarthy hearings, Kazan is shown in all his complexity.

Disc 3
Boomerang! (1947): When a local priest is murdered, a nervous drifter is fingered as the murderer.

The film was nominated for an Oscar.

Disc 4
Gentleman’s Agreement (1947): A journalist (Gregory Peck) poses as a Jew, and soon discovers what is to be a victim of religious intolerance. The film won three Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

Disc 6
Panic in the Streets (1950): A public health worker (Richard Widmark) and a police captain (Paul Douglas) have only 48 hours to stop a pneumonic plague outbreak from spreading across New Orleans. Zero Mostel and Jack Palance co-star in the film, which won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

Discs 7 and 8
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951): Based on Tennessee Williams’ play, Vivien Leigh stars as Blanche DuBois, a fading Southern belle who’s not quite what she pretends to be.

Disc 9
Viva Zapata! (1952): Marlon Brando stars as Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata who takes on corrupt president Porfirio Diaz, topples him, and then becomes disillusioned with his brother (Anthony Quinn) who takes Diaz’s place.

East of Eden (1955): Based on John Steinbeck’s novel, this film is a loose retelling of the Biblical Cain and Abel story.

Disc 14
Baby Doll (1956): Based on Tennessee Williams’ play “27 Wagons Full of Cotton,” this film’s racy plot about a virgin bride (Carroll Baker) caught between her husband (Karl Malden) and his rival (Eli Wallach) provoked an outcry from the Catholic league. The film was nominated for four Oscars.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
 

Here in KC, they're selling the '85 World Series box set. $28, I think it was.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
 

Our Costcos in Honolulu don't seem to carry much in the way of DVDs anymore, as Blu-ray discs are supplanting them. Also, I looked on Costco's website last night and they don't list any DVDs there, which to me is a bad omen.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
 

Costco's website has always been a joke, in my opinion.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
 

That is a hell of a deal for the Dean Martin set 6-DVD collection. I'd love to have that but alas, no Costco membership to speak of. Amazon is charging 54 for it as I type this.

However, I've also heard from folks that these sets have been butchered and edited up bigtime so just giving you guys/gals a heads-up on these sets.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
 

Quite a penetrating insight, Lt. I guess they don't really depend on it for a significant portion of their revenue so it doesn't need to be anything special, which it isn't.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
 

I picked up "The Shield" complete series for $59.99 this weekend.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
 

Spotted these collections for 14 dollars:

Coen Brothers (Fargo,Miller's Crossing,Blood Simpile,Barton Fink, Rasing Arizona)
