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 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.

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.

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).

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".

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.

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