Speaking of 15th anniversaries I'm suprised that Columbia/Tri-Star didn't release a 15th anniversary dvd for A Few Good Men in '07. Just like Groundhog Day that would have made the third time for its release.

Anyone pick this up? I'm thinking about getting the Bill Murray 3-Pack which has the last release of Groundhog day and I'm wondering if this new Anniversary version is really worth getting separate.

I picked it up at CH, just got it in the mail earlier today.
I despise the cover though, holy crap is it bad.
In terms of recommendations, one becomes easy. Folks who don’t already own either of the prior Groundhog Day DVDs should snag this 15th Anniversary release, as it’s the best of the bunch. If you only have the old bare-bones disc, get this one as well.
If you own the 2002 Special Edition, I’d still recommend the 2008 release, though not as whole-heartedly. The 15th Anniversary discs adds a few decent extras; it doesn’t pour own the supplements, but it presents a smattering of nice elements unique to this set. The bigger attraction comes from the improved transfer, though, as the 15th Anniversary DVD looks noticeably better than its 2002 predecessor. I don’t know if this is a “night and day” difference worthy of a fresh purchase, but I think anyone who upgrades to the 2008 disc will be happy they did so.

i saw this on the shelves the other day, and actually passed on it because of the lame duck artwork. i know, it's only the cover, but jeez, what a sh*tty cover.
