This is soooooooooooooooo cool!
You can't get the videos to "Mountains," "Girls and Boys," or most of those others anywhere else on DVD or VHS. Prince fans like myself will be jumping for joy when these titles come out. (The actual movies, GRAFFITI BRIDGE and UNDER THE CHERRY MOON aren't nearly as watchable...)

buying Purple Rain first day it comes out. It's been over 15 years since I've seen The Time's Jungle Love & The Bird and Apollonia's Sex Shooter videos. I can't wait.
Probably will get Under The Cherry Moon and Graffiti Bridge eventually.

At the very least, the commentaries tracks should be entertaining. Cavallo used to be Prince's manager, and they had a pretty bad falling out when Prince went through all that "slave" and "Symbol" crap.
Maybe one of the featurettes will include coverage of the recent Revolution/Time/The Family/Jill Jones reunion that took place in Minneapolis a couple months ago.

Warner seems to be moving away very very slowly from snapper cases and digipaks, which gets them a big 
from me.
The Big Bounce was just announced and it will also be in a keepcase. The Scorsese collection films, etc.
Still, Mystic River will be in a snapper. With the 3-disc edition being in keepcase packaging, it's not hard to see that they're trying to get people who care to buy the more expensive version.
In any case, there's no telling how Graffitti Bridge or Cherry Moon will be packaged, although one can hope that they have a consistent look with each other.
I wonder if there'll be a Prince boxed set, or at least a package deal, on release day.

I plan on getting all three. I was a huge Prince fan back in "the day," even if the latter two titles are not as good. They still hold a big nostolgic value for me and I've been wanting these on DVD for a long time now.
One bonus feature I wish they would include on the UTCM DVD is the MTV premier party! Who remembers this? I know I have it buried somewhere on VHS tape. MTV held a contest for a viewer to have Prince come and premier UTCM in their hometown, and it turned out to be some shy girl from some small town (I think in Wyoming somewhere, but it was a pretty rural town.) She didn't know how to act around him and the whole thing was a laughable mess.

Anybody from Warner reading this please advise if the video for "When Doves Cry" is the extended version with the split screen. I love that video
Nice to see they added Sex Shooter too
I love when the 3 girls are in the gym rehearsing in front of the mirror grinding
I'm a sex shooter....shooting love in your direction
Thanks again Warner!!....Another great release
