You know, I might have to change my vote in the Other smilies thread. Nothing else can really sum up this guy's feelings on the new Kubrick sets, art and all, other than this:

Alright! I've been itching to buy A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, FMJ, and Eyes Wide shut for a while now. Heck, I may even give 2001 another chance even though I found it mind numbingly boring the last couple times I tried to watch it.
Hopefully the wait is almost over.

Hmm... I wonder why the 2-disc Shining is $6 cheaper than the other SEs? No matter. I'm in for that + 2001 and possibly Clockwork Orange. Depends on if CH is going to carry these titles... it may just be cheaper to pick up the whole box set...
I've held off on ever buying any of these because of the snapper effect. Just rented The Shining, in fact, because we just took the ghost tour of The Stanley Hotel (which was cool, by the way, if you're ever in Estes Park, CO).

btw, I consider all of Kubrick's films, post-Spartacus, masterpieces, so up-grading from my old versions is a no-brainer for me. I've seen all of those movies many times over and I never tire of them (I can't even count how many times I've seen 2001, Barry Lyndon, Eyes Wide Shut and a Clockwork Orange).
I just wonder if Lolita will contian any of the extended scenes, which I once saw on a VHS version recently reissued.

Will definitely be grabbing the HD versions of 2001, the Shining, EWS and Barry Lyndon (assuming there is one). Don't really care for the artwork, myself, although Clockwork looks the best of the three shown so far; figures, the one movie I don't like!

Great looking covers. I'll be picking up the box set as well as Barry Lyndon and Lolita. Have they confirmed which cut of Eyes Wide Shut will be included?
