(Part 3) Top products from r/dvdcollection

To expand on The Wizard of Oz, they released it on Blu Ray in 2009 with an entirely new HD transfer from the original negatives, definitely give it go even if you already have the 2005 remaster! There's also a really big edition that even comes with a watch lol. The new DVD edition is just the 2005 remaster again though.
The Sound of Music has a really nice HD release too, but it was filmed on 70mm and in good condition, so they didn't have to do that much to make it look good. It's also got a bigger box set version, but no watch lol. Both have an incredible amount of special features. I can't really think of another musical release that was as big a deal as these two, but if I do I'll just edit this post.

My Fair Lady's DVD is great because it lets us hear Audrey's actual singing on a couple songs, I'm hoping they'll have it as an audio track option on the upcoming Blu Ray. Singin' in the Rain is getting a big release next year, and an anniversary edition of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory later this month, something to look forward to.


I don't know if these releases changed anything or not, but they're sure awesome editions. I kind of think the success of the Wizard of Oz big set inspired the Sound of Music, Willy Wonka, and other big sets, but I can't say for sure.

There are no licensed bluray releases of the true original films. They are available on dvd though as bonus discs of the Limited Editions. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Episode-IV-Limited/dp/B000FQJAIW And a little loophole is that if the Limited Edition is the full screen version then the bonus disc original films will still be widescreen. There are apparently still some very minor changes to the original films like a couple random sound effects but I've never gone through and picked them out. Although I dont suppose it matters since there's apparently nothing to compare it to other than the original 35mm print. Apparently no home video was ever released of the original films as they 100% exactly appeared in the theater. So the story goes.

As for the bluray Special Editions of the original trilogy episodes 4-6 I actually prefer Empire Strikes Back in the Special Edition. Every single change I think adds to the story and is very well done. Episodes 4 and 6 special editions are basically pure garbage. Episode 4 has a reincorporated deleted scene which is interesting but very badly done although I think they did the best possible job. As a star wars fanatic I think the only thing worthwhile in the episode 4 special edition is that its now the first appearance of Boba Fett although just a cameo. Not that he ever has much more than that anyway.

And I could've swore there are actually technically two editions with added scenes. I swear I saw in the theater A New Hope that was just the THX Remastered Edition which still had one new shot of a few X-Wing Fighters approaching a planet and also put the rings around the explosions of Alderan and the Death Star. I can't find any reference to this though but I swear I saw it in Dallas at Northpark in 1995

I believe these are on sale till July 6th 11:59 PST. Check the series out during the 4th of July marathon on the Sy-Fy channel. It's a great deal for all 156 episodes as well as special features. There is a great extra of Rod Serling on the "Tell it to Groucho" show with Groucho Marx. Well worth the price admission.

• Where do you live now? North Carolina
  
• What is your favorite genre? I like films regardless of genre, but based on my collection, I'd say comedy.
  
• First DVD I ever bought: I can't remember the first DVD I bought, but the first DVD I ever owned was Gladiator. It was a Christmas gift.
  
• My guilty pleasure movie is: Out of the ones I own, The Return of the Living Dead, but I can't really say I have any guilt.
  
• My least favorite movie I own is: That's a tough one. Probably GoodFellas but only because I have to flip the disc to watch the whole movie. I love the film and need to upgrade it.
  
• My favorite director: It's a toss-up between Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone, and John Landis
  
• What I'm most proud of: My Twilight Zone Complete Definitive Collection
  
• What I'm looking for: More money and better pawn shops in my area. ;) I'm not really looking for anything that is hard to find (a "holy grail).
  
• Software/app I use to keep track: I use Delicious Library 2. It's sorting options aren't without flaws, but I love being able to scan the UPC on my movies and them being entered automatically. You can see my library here.
  
  My collection doesn't include iTunes Store purchases, but it would only add a few films anyway. I can't really call myself a DVD/Blu-Ray collector, I just acquire things here and there. I bought most of the films for myself, but I sometimes buy DVDs for others and they get "left" to me, as you can see.
  
  Edit: Removed an extra "I"

I personally don't believe there will never be an "unedited" original trilogy legally released on Blu-ray. At least not while George Lucas still draws breath. I would suggest buying this and being happy.

Because it's an awesome set. And let's face it. It's what the films are "intended" to be. Regardless of whether a vocal subset of the fan base agrees with those intentions or not.

As everyone has already said, I highly doubt there is a dedicated site for collector's editions, but as Kirah has pointed out with her examples, you're best best is to find them on amazon, for most of them anyway.

I technically only own two. I say technically because I have the Spider-Man 2 Limited Collector's Edition, but also I have the Willy Wonka set coming in soon, but don't have it on me.

If you look at the one that's $21.99, it's about $28 with shipping and they state everything's in great condition.

> Complete with outer box, book, letters, golden ticket, pencil case, pencils, wonka bar eraser, and all discs are in excellent condition

May be worth looking at if it's too expensive elsewhere.

I bought a beautiful blu-ray set on Amazon on Prime day. It has 31 discs and tons of special features. Here it is.

I don't own any of the Harry Potter movies as of yet, so that collection .... ooooh hoh ... oh.

And guess what. It's half price on Amazon at the moment.

http://www.amazon.com/Potter-Hogwarts-Collection-Blu-ray-UltraViolet/dp/B00HETD0KC

The LOTR special features are actually all on DVD discs too, just reprints of the DVDs sold with the original DVD-only EEs. So yeah, it's probably counting those.

If Hammer films are what you want, your best bet is probably to buy a cheap region-free player and buy this set.

Or you can do individual released with original theatrical and special edition

Box Sets I have:

Well I preordered this so it's probably going to look the coolest.

I also preordered the Indiana Jones Blu Ray release, I hope it has a cool box set.

Transformers

Toy Story

The Dirty Harry Box

http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Limited-Edition-MetalPak-UltraViolet/dp/B00L8FC1QM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410756294&sr=8-1&keywords=godzilla+metalpak
right there! :)

I also recommend Atlantic but a different model: Atlantic Oskar Adjustable Media Wall-Unit - Holds 756 CDs, 360 DVDs or 414 Blu-Rays/Games, 21 Adjustable and 6 fixed shelves PN in Espresso https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058O8GRW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EQmSDb87SFXHX

My dream is 3 of these with one in the middle and two of them perpendicular to form a little movie cave.

Amazon has a $35 MetalPak available for preorder.

Edit: looks like it dropped to $32.

Just looked on Amazon real quick, I'm sure you can find it else where for cheaper, point being it's out of print so now people are milking it. Blade Runner 5 disc

Got it, will do. This and this too lol

One of the more extravagant releases I remember is that cigar humidor edition of Scarface.

The UK special edition of the Alien Anthology is up there too.

if you don't care much for Spartacas, you can get the same collection here [blu-ray] for about $35, it's region free

They look kinda like this: Wal Mart

edit: Amazon

Looks like these maybe?

Atlantic 35535601 Element 230CD Media Rack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00365GUZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0U38BbZ6JPBAF

I only paid like $75 for the Hogwarts Collection blu-ray set.

okay so then I was backwards you will want this set

Here's a pic and link. I have it as well.

I got them on Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Atlantic-38435713-Oskar-Media-Wall/dp/B0058O8GRW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381531995&sr=8-1&keywords=atlantic+oskar+756). I think Target sells them as well.

I need this version of The Lion King. A bit over the top, and I don't need half of those discs, but look at it!

This may be another option. Probably about $45 shipped to the US, but there's no Sparticus or Dr. Strangelove. Also one of the special feature discs listed there is missing.

Probably nowhere near as attractive packaging, but definitely a lot cheaper.

Picked it up from Amazon! It's not too bad but a little flimsy.

Random website I found that can will actively track items on amazon for you and email you the moment the price drops.

Just put your desired price and throw in an email and it will notify you the moment the price goes down. Also you can view the history of the price to see how low it has dropped in the past... just feed it a Amazon URL.

(I found the website a few months ago and so far it has worked really well.. also.. no spam emails)

What about

• Scarface Limited Edition Humidor [Blu-ray + Digital Copy], is that considered a boxed set?
  
  if it is considered one, I would get
  
  
• The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary [Blu-ray]
  
  Both item's are in stock and sold by Amazon.

Blade Runner - The Final Cut Collectors Edition. This set has the making of documentary "Dangerous Days". It is a great watch and really speaks to how classic film making and in-camera effects is a dying art with all the use of CG now days. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into the making of this film.

There's actually 3 extra discs of special features in the 9 disc Star Wars complete box set (not 6 discs).

Canadian

American

I have quite a few but my favorite ones would be Evil Dead 1 and 2

They were limited editions when they came out. It was these editions:

A New Hope

Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

It is indeed! It's a British DVD release called The Ultimate Hammer Collection. The "Ultimate" part is dubious though, as it is in no way, shape or form complete. (For example it contains only the third, fifth and sixth Dracula film, the fourth and sixth Frankenstein, and the fourth Mummy film, the third Quartermas film, and none of the Karnstein Trilogy.)

This is of course because of distribution rights. It is still a decent collection, although I have noted that very few of the discs seem to contain subtitles.

There's so many to choose from. Its depends what you're in the mood for.

You could have 25 greats with the Universal 100th Anniversary Collection

Or seeing as you've already got Star Wars you could get the Treks too. Original Films and Next Gen Films.
