5.0 out of 5 stars
GREAT buy but......BEWARE:, February 15, 2005
This review is from: Best Picture Oscar Collection (18-Pack) (DVD)
This is of course, great , but beware that some of the DVD's come "unwrapped" or "unsealed". How do we know they are new?? MY Fair Lady, Gone With the Wind, Chariots of Fire, Unforgiven, Around the World, and Amadeus all came this way. This could be inconvenient if you owned them previously, and were planning on giving them as gift or selling them. They will appear used. Just an FYI -

5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply an amazing deal - even if you own a few, February 13, 2005
This review is from: Best Picture Oscar Collection (18-Pack) (DVD)
There's not much to say about the reputation of these movies. There's also little to say about these DVDs, many of which are the high quality special edition collections. Just do the math. This is no brainer for people who don't own any of these DVDs. Even if you only want 8 of them (less than half!), that's about $20.00 a movie (at Amazon's present sales price) and since many of these movies are special editions, that's still a steal! This is a solid place to start your DVD collection. Not everyone will enjoy all these movies (after all, they range from westerns to romantic pieces to musicals), but at this price even giving half of them away still allows you a tremendous savings. One note: the version of Amadeus here is the reissue and the longer, director's cut of the movie that was not originally released. Some (including myself) prefer the tighter original release (which can still be gotten at Amazon but sadly has no commentary and requires you to flip the disc in the middle of the movie!).

3.0 out of 5 stars
good deal but not in collectible condition, June 11, 2005
This review is from: Best Picture Oscar Collection (18-Pack) (DVD)
It's a bunch of oscar winning movies from warner brothers with a great discount. but collectors beware of this set : 1. First of all, most of the items are not sealed. many of them looks like new, but some are not brand new, at least look like used! 2. I talked with 3 persons who purchased this item. all of them had complains about ruptures at the edge of some boxes which had caused with a blade or a sharp instrument. 3. there is not a huge outer box. only a wrap around all items. after those negative points, lets say that, all of the DVDs are the best releases of each item. my word is, it's a good deal but don't expect to receive all of them in collectible condition! I don't want to blame warner but it seems that some of these DVDs are clean returned to market items!
