I agree, especially since I know Soldier and Executive Decision were in Snappers (perhaps Tequila too?). I own everything except Tequila separately, but as long as they keep it widescreen w/any extras intact (somebody correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Unlawful Entry 1.85 non-anamoprhic widescreen?), i'm good with throwing my originals on the re-sell/auction pile.

Also of note, the Michael Douglas 4fer sounds good too.

Someone will have to confirm the Michael Douglas set contains the "Special Edition" as listed on the back vs. the old barebones from a long time ago. Something tells me the specs on the packaging are gonna be wrong.

JohnnyMovie

yes Tequila Sunrise is snapper and I saw it.

I wish they'd do another blaxploitation set. They did a pretty nice job with the Urban Action or whatever they called it set. 4 more movies like that would be right up my alley

Boba Fett

Had they not dumped "Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold" in the Archives, they could have had put that and "Cleopatra Jones" with two other titles.

Personally though, I wish they'd do a SE of "Shaft"

I was hoping for a Shaft SE with a commentary but since Gordon Parks died that cant happen

I am still waiting for The Learning Tree to show up.

On a kinda related note I got to attend Gordon Parks memorial since it was in my hometown and my family knew his family and talked with Avery Brooks about Parks' movies for about 30 mins after the memorial

The doubly lame thing is that Unlawful Entry is a shifting catalog title from Fox, where the disc had commentary and other extras that Warner seems to have ignored.

I'll definitely grab the Kurt Russell one, as he's one of my favorites, and I don't own any of those on DVD.

Anyone actually buy the Jim Carrey set? Based on the packaging, The Mask may have been gimped out of some extras. (I ask, but I'll probably break and just open the DVD before anyone answers.)

Boba Fett

FYI, THE LEARNING TREE got released two days ago through Warner Archives.

I actually sent them a tweet about it (following Edgar Wright helping pressure them to get Parks' SUPER COPS an Archives release) and the guy replied back a half day later that they had just decided to release it as well.

LosingMyMind

The platinum edition of The Mask was 2 discs, so it probably has to be missing a lot.

tylergfoster

Are you sure? DVDEmpire and the review on this very site both say 1-disc.

After seeing WBShop listed all the extras, I just caved and opened, and it does indeed have all the extras.

LosingMyMind

Yeah, those must be right. I could have sworn it was 2 discs. Better test that one out.

Spottedfeather

What's the Jim Carrey set ? I didn't see it on amazon.

In case my post was unclear, I broke and opened the set. All four are in WS. The Mask contains all the extras from the re-release edition. Dumb and Dumber is the original theatrical edition (the only way to get it). Yes Man comes with nothing, and The Majestic retains all the one-disc extras. For $10, it's not bad, since for whatever reason I just don't feel like upgrading The Mask to Blu-Ray and I wanted The Majestic and the TC of Dumb & Dumber. (I think Yes Man is pretty good too, but I already own the BD.)

Spottedfeather

Are they double sided ?

islandclaws

I'd buy the Russell set for $10 or less.

Mondo Kane

I'm sure it had to have been one of their best sellers too. Every cult-nut I know picked that one up.

tylergfoster

All of WB's 4-Film Favorites except one of the two discs in the Richard Pryor set are double sided.

davidh777

cool

Spottedfeather

I just saw Dumb And Dumber, the theatrical version, at amazon for 6 bucks. It is double sided, though, with full screen on one side and widescreen on the other.

Shawerma

does anyone know why amazon does not sell some of these such as the michael douglas one i know they sell them by 3rd party but they dont sell them directly.

tylergfoster

FYI, I bought the Douglas and Russell ones; if anyone is worried, the Falling Down included IS the Special Edition with the extras, and Tequila Sunrise on the Russell DVD does include the commentary.

I also bought this, which slipped under my radar:



Copyright is 2011, so it's recent. Wonder if they have other exclusives...
