This looks great . Even the price isn't that bad all things considered (24 movies plus a bunch of extras). But , I already have most of these films on DVD in the form of some individual releases, 3 box sets, and several 2/1 releases. It looks like a nice package though. I notice we still don't get all of the Road films in one place . I may still buy this if the price comes way down.

Are there any new-to-DVD titles in this collection?

 

[Mike*HTF]

That was my question--is the American Masters docu on any of the preexisting releases?

 

[mdnitoil]

If you didn't get the Variety Girl Vault Collection MOD, then that might be a draw. Everything else is a rehash. At least as far as I can tell.

The price for this set should be $100 or under, especially for 13 discs.

 

[ahollis]

If it's a rehash them that's a shame for there are still a few titles that Bing did for Paramount that have not seem a home video release.

 

[mdnitoil]

Maybe they're different transfers, but I have every title listed excluding Variety Girl as a previously released pressed disc. I'm not including the American Masters documentary, primarily because I view those things as extras.

 

[JoHud]

The silver lining there is that I don't have to justify buying that expensive set for one or two films. I own everything else.

Yes. It would be great if Universal would find a way to release something new. In particular, there are a lot of 1930s films that I would like to have: Anything Goes, Two for Tonight, The Big Broadcast, plus something like Dixie.

The silver lining is that I don't have to justify buying such an expensive set just to get one or two new films. I already own almost all of them.

All of those would be welcome--but especially Two For Tonight.
Wasn't Dixie released somewhere?

"Dixie" is available in the UK.

While I was hoping Universal would someday release a non flip disc version of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court/The Emperor Waltz, all the ones I purchased were defected and had to be returned, but I’m not keen on spending almost two hundred dollars just to get those missing titles.

 

[classicmovieguy]

The UK release of the "Connecticut Yankee/Emperor Waltz" twofer is single-sided; and I'm so glad I decided to buy that disc instead of the R1 version.

Ah yes, of course, thanks.

Sorry for the late response, but I just watched my flipper disc and didn't have any issues with playback. It's not one of those dreaded DVD-18s, is it?
