Sorry about the ALL CAPS in the below text - I lifted it from the page @ Amazon - Anyway, being a big fan of most of their dvds (seven samurai, throne of blood, solaris, etc., etc.) this really looks like an insane collection.... but at over $5000... well, in the words of Hansel (Zoolander) "you can lick my balls, cap-ee-tan"

Yea - The Killer and Hard Boiled are on my most wanted list - very hard to find at a decent price....

Btw, I *need* to get the Rushmore CC. I haven't found it in retail, though. Suppose I'll eventually order it online.

I would love to have all of those... but it'd most definitely bankrupt me. Oh well, the ones I can't justify buying I just get with Netflix now.

I keep hearing that the Fox Lorber editions have a better print. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I found a copy at my local best buy - great movie - no Royal Tennebaum - but great movie nonetheless.

Wow - I wish I hadnt sold my sealed copies of Seven Samurai, Silence Of The Lambs and Robocop among others - I've still got an open Robocop for myself, and The Rock (with its inferior dts soundtrack) and admittedly I sold the sealed ones for a mint and they can be cheaply replaced by the new superior locally released versions anyway.

I'd like to pick up The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, Sanjuro, and The Hidden Fortress. I got the Winstar versions of The Killer and Hard Boiled. They will have to do for now.

winstar the killer has better picture and sound according to a lot of people.
