Not in any order

1. The Jazz Singer (3-Disc SE) [Warner]
2. Popeye the Sailor: Volume One (1933-1938) [Warner]
3. Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume Five [Warner]
4. Help! (2-Disc SE) [Capitol/Apple]
5. The Third Man: Criterion Collection (2-Disc SE)
6. The Adventures of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (Walt Disney Treasures)
7. Woody Woodpecker and Friends: Classic Cartoon Collection [Universal]
8. The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky [ABKCO/Anchor Bay]
9. The Films of Kenneth Anger (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) [Fantoma]
10. Stanley Kubrick Collection (Director's Series) [Warner]

Honorable mentions:

Breathless: Criterion Collection
The Graduate: SE [MGM/Fox]
Deliverance (Deluxe Edition) [Warner]
Pan's Labyrinth (2-disc Platinum) [New Line]
The Departed (2-disc SE) [Warner]
All Quiet on the Western Front (Cinema Classics remaster) [Universal]
Scarface (1932, Cinema Classics) [Universal]
Arabian Nights (Cinema Classics) [Universal]
Trading Places (SE) [Paramount]
A Christmas Carol (1951, 2-disc SE) [VCI]
The Jungle Book (Platinum Edition) [Disney]
Universal's multi-film collections (Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection, Classic Horror Archive, W.C. Fields Vol. 2, etc)
Gumby Essentials (A+ restorations, original sound, and a cheaply priced disc) [Classic Media/Genius]

Needed more work:

Peter Pan (Platinum Edition) - Wasted most of the 2nd disc with a dumb repeat of the movie
Battleship Potemkin (Kino) - Great restoration, but wasted 2nd disc with repeat with English intertitles and very few extras
Ratatouille - I guess giving BluRay more extras makes sense, but this should have had a full-on DVD

Unfortunately, I haven't purchased any Fox DVDs this year. I'm sure the John Ford set would be high on my list!

See and hear what you're missing from their Bitsy Award winner of Worst Standard Edition DVD of 2006 on YouTube! Last edited by Patrick McCart : 12-28-2007 at 01:50 PM.
