One Boxed Set to Rule Them All

Hotel Rwanda an undeniable classic?! You may want to take a look at that film again and question whether or not it sacrificies moral and social integrity for a phoney character boipic.

6) Were about to buy all 90 dvds separately; now you don't have to!

surprised that there has been no mention about the importance of UA. How it was the anti-stuido system way of making movies and has supported some of the most eclectic movies, directors, and actors in it's long history. That is what you are getting with this boxed set...the stuido that started James Bond, Billy Wilder, CLint eastwood (The Sergio westerns), among many others.
The library might be great or bad depending on your taste, but there is no doubt as to the importance of UA (not the current Tom Cruise one though)

You forgot:
Need to assemble mirror ball for impromptu disco party.

Baby Boom does rule, it's true.

Baby Boom rules!

Reasons you would buy this set:
1)Finally broke down and threw out the Betamax, need something to play on this new DVD thingy.
2) Coasters!
3) Just ordered a new Eastern European boy-toy from mailorderhunks.com and need to get him up to speed on Western film history in time for Trivial Pursuit night.
4) To complete your every-edition Road House collection.

Isn't United Artist the company Tom Cruise took over? This just sounds like an attempt to pad the UA bank with $.

Learn to enjoy things. Tell me you enjoy the pop of it all. I love Baby Boom. Red Dawn should be remade today and Road House is a classic - it was on last night.

Enough bitter diatribe. I wish I had the money to buy the set. I love the pop - all of it - even the crap.

respect.

This is the stupidest set i've ever seen. If you're such a big movie fan wouldn't you have most of these films already?? Oh please, i haven't been holding off buying hotel rwanda, baby boom and red dawn for the hope they might appear all together. what a wast of packaging....

Jason Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 01:56 PM EST

Hotel Rwanda is an "undeniable classic"? Really?

nathan Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 01:56 PM EST

Do I see Man in the Iron Mask there too, yikes! I'd pay 900 bucks just to not have to watch that. Obviously it's clearance time at the United Artists warehouse.

nathan Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 01:54 PM EST

Clearly a DVD set for someone who owns NO DVDs whatsoever. Does one need both Roadhouse and Red Dawn, I'm pretty sure nobody needs either of those pieces of sheeeot.

Stephanie T. Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 01:17 PM EST

I don't get the purpose of owning this collection if you have cable.

furry_tom Tue, Oct 30, 2007 at 01:07 PM EST

No link so we can see all the titles?
I already have 9/10 of the classic ones you listed, (and don't feel the need to own the others), so I don't think I'd shell out for a bunch of discs I already have. I'm saving up for the Criterion box set that came out last year anyway.

Why yes I do really have to watch Baby Boom again, thank you very much. But they show it on WE, along with other guilty pleasure classics like She's all That and Hairshow, nearly every weekend so I won't be shelling out the $900 bucks for it. As far as Road House goes, I already own that one, shamefully.
