I personally love Bergman's style, so 5 movies + 1 bonus disc and tons of extras is a good deal for $67.
Retail is $112.95 so you'd be saving a good deal too.
But if there's a certain title you don't like, then buy them individually.

Is this the MGM box set or the Criterion three-film set? The MGM ones are available seperately, so you could save cash by getting only the ones you want. I paid $8 for Persona at Borders.

I saw a thread either here or over at home theater forum about a month ago regarding the accessibility of this set to a newbie. The general agreement was that these films (the MGM set) is not an ideal jumping-in point for new viewers, but if you're familiar with some of Bergman's previous work, like "Seventh Seal" and "Wild Strawberries", then by all means go for this.
I paid $76 for my set, with most of the titles sight-unseen, and now, more than halfway through it, do not regret spending that much money at all. Just make sure you're getting the corrected versions.

What is the sale at DVDEmpire? I see they have this set marked at $67.86. Is that the sale price? And what is the coupon good for--and could you post the coupon code? I've been wanting this set pretty badly but waiting for a good deal on it.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Firstly - Daniel Windsor, I was basically asking if that's good price.
Sanzrigel- It's currently 40% off at dvdempire and then I used the $5 off $50 coupon you can find in the bargains section here.
Thanks to those who helped out.

Picked it up for $62 when DDD had it's 20% off sale. Definitely worth it!
