I recentley got West side story Two Disc and I love it. What other movies has MGM put out on two disc special edition. I know chitty chitty bang bang and escape from New York. I'm not sure what others are two disc since MGM will say other movies are special edition and they seem to have very minimal features like some Like it hot and Annie Hall. thanks

Since I do not see the point in dividing one-disc and two-disc )or more) special editions, I'm listing as many as I know. Some DVDs are simply rereleases, being called Special Editions just as a selling point (surprise, surprise); there are also a ton of 'standard' DVDs of theirs that have a ton of features. Also, some SEs are double-sided discs, and could very well have been 2-disc editions. But hey, people will think "2 discs" is more value for money, right?

There's also a ton more SEs inother regions, such as Robocop and Misery.

They're what I got when I searched for "MGM Special Edition" on Amazon.com.

shawagg

Not all of those are 2 discs. They are however "SE" so that's why they showed up on your search.

I can't say much more beacuse even I'm not sure what the 2 disc ones are.

DonnachaOne

I know they're not all 2-disc releases. Reread my post, where I point out that there's not much point in saying which ones are one disc or more.

FatTony

Bowling For Columbine

InnocentBlood

i think that came in 2 editions: a double sided disc and a 2 discs set...

also be carefull, about the new version of west side story, as it is FULL FRAME ONLY. This is a one disc version in a keepcase, so look for a big over sized orange box for the widescreen version

jough

Ugh. So the Collector's Editon box is the only way to get the WS version?

I listed this among my all time top ten discs (see my sig), but it's the two-disc widescreen version with the great packaging and wonderful documentaries.

Ugh. That single disc version looks horrible (from the specs - I haven't actually seen the disc).

DonnachaOne

Yes, jough...

... fortunately, it's a phone enrollment at Columbia House (still, I hope), so no need to spend too much for it.

Dabaomb

it hasn't been a phone enrollment for quite some time now.

Jeepers Creepers has recently been marked down to $9.44 at Walmart and $9.99 everywhere else. I know when it came out, it was a double sided disc, movie on one side and extras on the other. however, when I was at Walmart the other day, I picked up a copy and it felt like it was a single case w/ 2 discs in it. I shook it and it sounded like there was a second holder inside. Anyone else notice this?

SMART-ASS

Wow. That would be cool. I still couldn't make myself buy it though. It's one of the most horribly edited films I've seen in a while. A director's cut would be the only way to go with this one for me. (2¢)

I am excited about the relase of Around the world in 80 Days.

Rizor

Isn't Around the World in 80 Days gonna be a Warners release?

MovieFan999

It is. I am so confused and brain dead.

Mr. Cinema

Just an update on Jeepers Creepers. I believe there are now 3 versions. 1st was the original Special Edition, Wide/Full on one side, extras on the other. Then, as I mentioned in this thread earlier, there appears to be a 2 disc release. On the back of it, it only shows the widescreen version and the extras, plus, every one of them I have shook, has that extra case sound to it. Finally, has anyone else noticed some places have Jeepers Creepers without the Special Edition banner across the top? Now, that one has widescreen on the back, and only the audio commentary. I think the special edition will go out of print. DVD Empire now only has this non-SE edition. Just an FYI.

Mr. Cinema

Well, I bought Jeepers Creepers special edition at walmart tonight for 9.44. Last one they had. This one is now a 2-discer. Disc 1 has widescreen/fullscreen and Disc 2 has the special features. What's sad, is neither disc has any artwork cover on it. Both are just plain discs. MGM must really be lazy. First the SE was a double sided release, now they are breaking into 2 discs, but didn't bother putting a label on either one. No big deal though...

Mountain Biker

Okay since you didn't mention it, I'll have to ask the burning question I'm sure everyone is dying to know.....

Does it have an insert????
