6th round - Sunset Boulevard

6th round: Ken Burns' The Civil War
(Groucho, I have already picked a tv season set and a box set, but this should still be allowed. It is not a box set because it is just one movie; it is not a tv season set because it is an entire documentary that just happened to be shown on tv on different nights).

^^^^ I would say its a miniseries.

6. Box: Marx Brothers Silver Screen Collection.

(obvious ploy to suck up to the boss...)

I would disallow the Civil War too...it is a boxed set, containing several discs, and it's a TV show, since it was originally aired on PBS and never shown in theaters.

Taken counts as a TV set, so it should not count... but Civil War being a documentary is not as cut and dry. I would still think that it would count as TV as well.

reefa has beatles anthology (a multi disc documentary) and that counts as a tv set....i would say that any of the ken burns docs would be considered the same

maybe reefa's set should not count as a tv set. the civil war (and the anthology) is a feature length, multi-part documentary. it should count as a single movie, not a box set or a tv season.

groucho, I hope after ruling against me on Goodfellas that you will find in my favor on this one. if not, please let me know so I can make an alternate pick.

Pick #6: My Darling Clementine

but neither beatles anthology or the civil war had a theatrical run (or a film fest premiere) afik

so would a a made-for-tv movie not be considered a movie just because it did not have a theatrical run???

Alternate pick if Civil War is rejected: The Deer Hunter (Legacy Series). Not claimed on time by anyone else (I think someone had jumped the gun, but it came out today).

thanks sweet baby james! i WILL take WOZ as my 6th round pick (my girlfriends favorite movie). i was sweating it out at work today, dvdtalk is not a website i can access.

ryuryu2949: "The Civil War" is not a made-for-tv movie. It's a mini-series, and is as-such considered a television set. I think others have successfully made my point for me on this one. As such, I'm putting you down for "The Deer Hunter".

Round 6:

Greta Garbo: Signature Collection

This set won't count since Grand Hotel is already released

I pick Ikuru (CC) for my 6th round pick.

This Island Earth

Sorry buddy, you will have to wait until october 25th (when the 3 disc WOZ is released) to make that pick. On that date, you might want to make your pick at 9:00:01 AM PST. I have a feeling that there will be a scramble for that one.

I think he wants to pick the original which is currently available.

im taking the regular "old" se. this will be long over before oct 25th

my bad. rock out with that snapper. (mmmm, snapper....)

All the titles in this set (save for the docu) were also released separately.

I guess I need a ruling from Groucho.

Per darkhawk, "Grand Hotel" was already released so I'm going to disallow it unless somebody has conflicting info.
