Big box sets devoted to one movie?

After buying the big Bonnie and Clyde and Close Encounters box sets, I was just wondering if there were any other big box sets just devoted to one film. Does anybody know of any?

I'm not sure if any of those fit the criteria. I'm thinking larger box sets with more than 2 discs and lots of supplemental material.

I'd at least keep these in the list:
The Rocky Horror Picture Show came with the movie, sequel, soundtrack and prop bag

Dust Devil came with the movie, a working edit, soundtrack and 3 amazing documentaries

Grindhouse had a large Japanese release with 6 discs

Hellboy had 3 discs and tons of supplemental material

I'll also add the Matrix set.

Spider-man had a limited collector's edition that came in a rather large box.
Wicker-man came in a wooden box.

Yep, have them both. I just thought the OP was specifically calling for box sets that were more big in content, not in empty space or non-media content. But I could be wrong.

And Mister Peepers, good call in calling out those of your list that I tried to "disqualify". I had forgotten to edit my post for a couple of them. I have that Dust Devil set and it has an amazing amount of media content. 5 discs devoted to one director/set of films. I didn't know about the 6 disc Japanese Grindhouse set. Wow. That might have to be my first region (2?) purchase.

I really wish they would get around releasing that monster of a Grindhouse set. Stupid Weinstein Company isn't getting my money until I get the movie I saw in theaters, not a neutered version. I wish the Kill Bill set would come out already too, had to pick those up at Target 2 for 20, it was killing me not to own them, but with Grindhouse I can wait, as they are both on Netflix Watch Now.

I wonder why this thread was moved? I would think the main forum would be a more appropriate place for this thread.

Anyways, these are 3+ disc sets that come to mind that haven't been mentioned:

Gladiator - 3-disc set
Lord of the Rings: FOTR - EE (4 discs)
Lord of the Rings: TT - EE (4 discs)
Lord of the Rings: ROTK - EE (4 discs)
