The Most Comprehensive DVD Set Ever--- What's your picks?
I'm blown away by the amount of time that was spent prepping DVDs for the blockbuster 1991 action-flick TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY. I recently got the Ultimate Edition, which I've been searching for three years now, in a Blockbuster while I was on vacation. It covers just about every aspect of the production. Combined with the 2003 release of the Extreme Edition, there's basically nothing you can ask about how something was achieved in the film, because it's all laid out for you, right there on 2 double sided discs and 2 one-sided ones. What's your picks for most comprehensive DVD sets ever?
My close seconds are KING KONG (2005), and the SEINFELD TV releases.

The Alien Quadrilogy always impressed me. Multiple cuts for each of the four films. 2 discs for each movie plus another bonus disc for the franchise as a whole.

Hard choice, but my top three would be:
1) The Alien Quadrilogy, even if it didn't have the complete Alien 3 documentary....or the complete Alien: Evolution documentary. (Silly FOX executives.)
2) The LOTR: Fellowship Of The Ring gift set with the National Geographic bonus DVD. 5 discs? Sold.
3) Terminator 2: Ultimate Edition. Seriously, they crammed so much stuff onto that dual-sided disc that it's insane. Format demonstrations, Japanese trailers, promotional galleries, easter eggs, and I still haven't found everything on that disc.
