Why? None of the dvd titles had been released yet

It's not because it breaks the "no prior release" rule, it's because the movies within the set are only loosely connected. It's a "special exception" to try and remain consistant with earlier rulings.

I can't allow that since you already have a box set in your roster.

Groucho, a couple of corrections to the names of some of the DVDs on my roster:

- Please change 2. "Back to the Future" to "Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)"

- Please change 4. "Shawshank Redemption LE" to "The Shawshank Redemption (Deluxe Limited Two-Disc Special Edition With Book and CD)"

These name changes best reflect the full title of the DVDs (sorry to be so picky, but the competition is intense here!)

Groucho, I, too, have a request. Where it says ryuryu2949 and there's a list of DVDs, can you make it say zangiefzangief2949 and put 8 Ben Affleck DVDs?

Using the raining helper example I choose Looney Tunes Golden Collection for my eight pick. Raining's selection of Mickey didn't count as a movie box or TV show (since Ingmar Bergman and Arrested Development are also in his list). Assuming that the precedent is not followed, I select Shrek (2 disc) as my eight choice.

I don't want to get started on the whole "let's type things like this" game, or I'll be spending all my time tweaking people's collections.

Is this valid? If so, that's my pick. (I assume so, since someone has the Nightmare on Elm St. box set)

#8: Friday the 13th - From Crystal Lake to Manhattan (8 Movies) (Boxed set)

Were any of the discs in the F13 set previously released? I'm thinking yes, but can somebody confirm?

So, all of the discs were different than their previous incarnations?

Is there time limit on the decision making progress around here? C'mon!
[uses the force, and waves hand] "You will allow this box set."

But seriously, I won't be on a computer until after 7:00 p.m. tonight. And I'm getting ready to sign off.

It's my understanding that these discs in the box set are 2 movies per disc and a new bonus disc. So, they have never been released with 2 movies per.

I'll take Monterrey Pop Festival Criterion unless that counts as a box set, in which case I'll tak Animal House Double Secret Probation Edition Widescreen

I guess I need a boxed set.

Pick #9:

Three Colors Trilogy

From what I can tell the boxed set was released first, then the individual titles later. If this isn't allowed I'll pick something else. (I haven't read every ruling on the boxed sets but as far as I can tell this one is OK).
