Superman SE is a one-discer.

That is an amazing list, even more so because I own so many of them! I was glad to get rid of my barebones versions and get these new ones. I especially like the versions of older movies with the poster art on the cover (like My Fair Lady or Around The World In 80 Days).

Yes and No. It's one physical disc having the contents from 2 DVD-9 discs being stuck back to back.

Added The Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby. Figured it was worth noting. :)

Great news! :up:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a chock full "Dangerous Liaisons" 2 disc.

ShagMan 12-02-04 01:25 PM

So, what's with WB screwing us on the third Harry Potter, giving us a keepcase versus the previous digipacks? It seems that they are indeed NOT dropping the digipacks as somebody had assumed in one of the Harry Potter threads.

PopcornTreeCt 02-13-05 07:46 PM

Made a few updates.

Dabaomb 02-14-05 03:53 AM

thanks for the updates :up:

Geofferson 02-14-05 08:39 AM

Shouldn't The Outsiders be on the rumored list? It's been talked about for over a year now.

I'd hope WB will rereleases the first 2 Harry Potter's in keepcases.

I hope they rerelease all the digipaks into keepcases

Cameron 02-14-05 10:36 AM

i would also add a 2 disc westworld dvd to the rumor list... ;)

Anyone else a little :hscratch: over the packaging for the newest releases? Maybe it's just me, but I find it a little odd that WB are using slipcases now (Heat, The Philadelphia Story) when they don't even print inserts. If the lack of inserts were a money saving thing, what's with the slipcases? Yeah, it's anal, but a little consistency would be nice.

I was just about to ask the same question.

I just recieved my copies of The Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby and was disappointed they were keepcases, probably the first time ever. It would be nice if there was consistency in their casing. I think Harry Potter has a similiar issue.

bboisvert 03-09-05 12:43 PM

I think their casing is consistent... now. Pretty much everything 1-disc/2-disc has been put into a keepcase for the past few months. When they abandoned the snapper, I think they also bailed on the digipak. It took them a while to come up with a plan, but I think they have one now. :)

That's fine by me, but I'd love for them to also revisit the older titles (Harry Potter, etc.) and reissue in keepcase form as well.

And, while it isn't a dealbreaker for me... and I'm not losing any sleep over it, I miss inserts too. Even though I rarely reference a chapter listing, a case just seems incomplete without it.

DamingR 03-09-05 06:14 PM

I think it would be interesting to include all the excellent WB box sets in this list. While they are a little different than the 2-disc sets, they appeal to the same people, and with the large number of them released recently, they are becoming very difficult to keep track of.

BritTVfanMidwst 03-09-05 07:01 PM

Hi,

I have several of these, well, the classics films, anyway-- and many more are quite high on my "must buy" list. They are WOnDERFUL editions-- the restorations are very good, the extra features are great (I like the film school commentaries by film historians or at least by critics), definately worth buying.

But what I *would* very much, PLEASE Warner Bros PLEASE-- is for some classic film noir and musicals made by RKO (and thus in the Turner/Warner's library) to PLEASE be released. I'm talking about the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals (Esp. "Top Hat", "Swing Time", and "Shall We Dance?". and also some of the wonderful RKO/ early Warners Film Noir films.

--Brit TV fan (and classic film fan)

RevKarl 03-09-05 07:44 PM

You can make Bullitt number 45...a new, two-disc version is scheduled for release on 7 June 2005.

http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=413322

Also, the Buster Keaton Collection is still missing from your supplemental list (Hey, if Lon Chaney, the "Man of a 1,000 Faces," gets his collection on the list, so should the "Man of a Single Face"...Yes, I know Keaton's real nickname was "The Great Stone Face.")

Fok 03-09-05 11:53 PM

Looking forward to the batman ones

Tarantino 03-10-05 01:19 AM

I only have 7...

Deco King 03-10-05 07:06 AM

I wish Warner Bros had a website devoted to the excellent classic movie DVD Special Edition Box Sets it produces so well. Their current website seems to concentrate, unsurprisingly, on the DVD's of current blockbusters.

I'd love to hear more about the Busby Berkeley boxset, Joan Crawford/Bette Davis titles etc.

PopcornTreeCt 03-15-05 12:12 AM

Updated Bullitt and A Very Long Engagement. Also, added some extra info to a few releases including box sets.
