But we're talking Colombia's 100th Anniversary. IMHO it should be part of it.
I don't think The Three Stooges would be considered a cash cow title these days unlike Lawrence of Arabia or Close Encounters are.

As I expected I already have most of the films I would want from the 100 film set. As Ron said there are some strange choices included. They may be someone's favorite so I won't mention what I think are unusual choices. A couple films I want but don't have, "Talk of The Town" and "The More The Merrier"that are included. I have never seen available individually for less than $12.50 each . Interesting no "Laurence of Arabia", "Lord Jim", "The Wild One", "From Here to Eternity", "On The Waterfront", " Bridge On The River Quai" , "Cover Girl", or any Barbra Streisand movies included in the 100.

Interesting that the Microsoft bundle looks identical(?) to the Apple/iTunes one, but the Vudu one is largely different (and mostly better, but again, they don't generally offer free 4K upgrades after purchase unlike Apple/iTunes). The Vudu one might be worth it for someone completely new to digital collecting (and don't already own much of the titles on 4K discs w/ included 4K DCs, including some of the previous Columbia Classics 4K sets)...
Also, for whatever reason, the previous Vudu link, which also shows up prominently on their own site, doesn't seem to work (or just keep staying busy "loading") while the (apparently different) Vudu link provided at the dedicated Sony/Columbia 100 site works instantly.

I just checked the VUDU Bundle and it appears to be identical to Itunes. I was finally able to get it to load tonight and double checked after seeing your post. There was a different list posted somewhere a few days ago or last week, but turned out that list had nothing to do with this 100 for 100 Bundle.
Yes the 100 Essential Columbia Pictures films listed on VUDU ( this is not the $100 deal) is a much better selection of films than the films included in the deal Sony is offering. A little light on the 30's and '40's films I love ( I probably could come up with 100 Columbia Pictures I want from those 20 years alone) but a great selection. I guess I was the one who posted this VUDU list earlier in the thread before the actual films in the deal were announced but I did say in that post the films in this list were probably not the films included in the $100 bundle. Sorry for any confusion this caused. Some of the Columbia essential films on VUDU list are included in the $100 bundle but many are not.

Scanned from the Original 65mm OCN in 2.20:1, please? (since the film was photographed in Super Panavision 70).Lord Jim should be 4k.

I'm starting to get bad vibes over the pace of announcements of blu ray & 4k disc releases from the studios in their centenary year.
It's so quiet. I fear 100 Colombia classics for $99 is all we are getting...except Volume 4 which I won't be purchasing.Me too. We are already towards April and nothing announced for Sony or MGM (if Warner is celebrating).
Never happen as long as Streisand is alive. Also one of my lost favorites. I saw this in magnetic stereo in 1969, Castle Keep, the best film Pollock ever made. They said the book was unfilmable and he translated it perfectly.I wonder if we will get The Owl and The Pussycat uncut back in the original R rated theatrical release.
