Re: More WB 4 Film Favorites Collections on the way
I can't wait for the Critters set, just preordered it....I had wanted to pick up the single disc releases, but this chops the price right down.
One question....are people in favor of the Police Academy box set, or have you been happy with the 2 4 disc releases?

I don't own any Police Academy but I can tell you I would prefer the 4-film favs to the box set, saves on shelf space

I'd like the Police Academy sets, but unfortunately the first and second movies still aren't in widescreen. That's why I'm not getting the complete set either. Same defective transfers.

It was 3 and 4 that weren't in Widescreen. If these sets have only the first and second in full frame then technically by buying this set and the first two movies separately you'd have all of them in their intended ratios.

That Cult Thrillers set is very appealing. Ninth Configuration has been OOP for a while, so getting that for $10 and 3 other good movies is a solid deal.

The biggest issue with the Police Academy film favorites that the first movie is supposed to be the widescreen special edition (with commentary and featurette), but instead it is the original full screen release.

Are you saying that 3 and 4 were intended to be seen in fullscreen?

Re: More WB 4 Film Favorites Collections on the way
All of the solo DVD releases are widescreen except 4, 5 and the original release of 1. I can't imagine they made any new transfers for this, so that means that 1, 4 and 5 are full screen and 2, 3, 6 and 7 are widescreen.

Received an email that the Critters 4 pack got moved up a couple weeks to September 8th I think.

Picked this up today for $5 used at Movie Stop. Both disc are just from previous 'Action Double features' so Rumble and Corruptor are fullscreen, despite the case saying Wide.

Yeah it sucked because I had already traded my copy of Rumble, and I've never owned Corrupter.
Only thing that takes the sting out, is MS was having a buy 3 get 1 free, so I picked that up along with 4 film Lethal Weapon, and both Nightmares for $20 total.

Man, WB doesn't seem to have a good track record of having the correct specs on the covers of these 4 Film Favorites. In addition to Police Academy and the Martial Arts pack, weren't there a couple others with issues?

Re: More WB 4 Film Favorites Collections on the way
For anyone who bought the Lethal Weapon 4 Film Favorites...Is LW4 missing the Pure Lethal Behind the Scenes featurette and the deleted scenes? I just sold off my Lethal Weapon Triple Feature Set and Lethal Weapon 4 Premiere Collection DVD that I got free with my 1st DVD player to get that nice compact set. Otherwise, I may have to get the 4 new Lethal Weapon keepcases that were recently released.
And yes, I got screwed over by the Police Academy 4 Film Favorites that I got from Deepdiscount recenlty. I sold off my Police Academy special edition to get that set since it said is had the same bonus material as the SE in order to get 2-4 as well. And low and behold it was foolscreen and featureless.

BTW, I've noticed the LW4 keepcases at Big Lots lately, although I think they may have been the $5 pricepoint.

WB has also released a 4 Film Favorites today for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It includes the original live-action trilogy (The Movie, Secret of the Ooze, Turtles in Time), the TMNT 2007 CG movie, as well as all the special features from the individual releases. Saw it over at Target for $11.99 today.

Was just looking at ^that on Amazon....Might snag that since I don't want the BR pizza box for $60 bucks.

If I recall, the original releases had both aspect ratios on them so it is possible they could screw this up, ala Police Academy.

Re: More WB 4 Film Favorites Collections on the way
There was also a WB double feature of The Fugitive and U.S. Marshals, which lists a bunch of extras that are on the non-existent flipside of U.S. Marshals, and a Lawnmower Man double feature that listed all specs for both movies plus WS versions of both, when the disc was the two-full-frame-transfers-on-a-one-sided-disc version that New Line put out.

Is this basically the same set as the (non anniversary) collection already out with all four in it? I picked that up for 10 bucks a week or two ago.
You save some space with the FFF version but on the "flip" side (groan)...they are flippers whereas the collection is not.
