Great packaging for the two Nightmare On Elm Street Collections. I always hoped that they would release individual keep cases with the poster artwork they put out in the original box set...




I might go for those depending on the specs and whether they are new transfers. I hope the Infinifilm or whatever they're called Special Edition of the first movie is included. It appears that these will all be double-feature discs.

(edit: too bad they had to spoil the second set by including Freddy Vs Jason. Yech!)

So they're releasing the Elm Street sequel with the 3D intact? Cool! I have all but that one. I'd certainly buy that set to get the 3D and sell the duplicates at my yard sale.

I'll be snagging that Superman set. I'm glad I waited on those. Can't wait to see good old Christopher Reeves flying high again. I don't have a lot of desire to see that reboot Superman flick but it would be great if it was included as a throwaway bonus.

Nice!

I'm glad I waited on getting Superman as well. I'll definitely pick this up (pending specs) as well as both "Nightmare On Elm Street" sets. Just in time for Halloween too. Works for me!

I'm a big fan of these "multiple films in a single amaray case" sets. Unfortunately, a lot of them include only the full-screen version of one or more of the films. According to the links in the first post of this thread, that is sadly the case with the Nightmare on Elm Street sets. The Matrix and Superman sets look cool, though, and I'd probably get 'em if I didn't already have the giant 10- and 14-disc sets for those series. I wonder which version of the original Superman is included, though. It's first DVD release included only the extended cut, and I held off on purchasing it until the original theatrical version was available, as it was in the 2006 re-issue. I have a feeling it'll be extended-version-only again.

I must have overlooked the specs on the "Nightmare" sets. If that's the case, I'll most certainly pass and hunt down the box set. I still have my eye on the Superman foursome however.

I assumed it was just a misprint or oversight but I wouldn't touch any of these if the NOES Collection is indeed 4x3! I'd like to pick up the 1st collection but will wait for reviews...

No need to wait for reviews for the 2 elm street sets, it has been confirmed they are the same transfers as the old discs, and contain both widescreen and fullscreen.Nightmare part 1 even has all the bonus features intact.The rest contain the trailers.All movies have both 5.1 and original mono options.Even though I already have the infinifilm of nightmare 1, and the single disc of nightmare 2,its a nice cheap way to get nightmare 3 and 4, and to also have the original mono mix of nightmare 1 to boot !!!!!!

Great news about the aspect ratios. Does the Nightmare on Elm Street collection include the original DVD release of the first movie, or the later "Infinifilm" version? As I recall, the Infinifilm release had some issues with the color timing and soundtrack, didn't it?

Re: 4 Film Favorites - Superman - October 14, 2008

So what are the actual movies in the Eastwood set?

The specs list Space Cowboys, Bronco Billy, City Heat and Pink Cadillac

The artwork lists Space Cowboys, Honkytonk Man, Any Which Way You Can, & Every Which Way But Loose

???????

I would assume the artwork is correct and the specs. wrong. If so, I'm all over that set. I've been wanting both of the monkey films in my collection for a long time.
