What was the last box set(s) you bought?


Today, I went to the mall and got 2 dvd box sets. I bought Jerry Lewis 10 film set and Roger Corman 8 film set. I own a lot of blu ray and dvd box sets. What about you? What was the last box sets you picked up?

reply

These are 2 of my most recent.


Fernando Di Leo Collection
Caliber 9 (1972)
The Italian Connection (1972)
The Boss (1973)
Rulers Of The City (1976)

The Sergio Martino Collection
The Case of the Scorpion's Tail (1971)
Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key (1972)
The Suspicious Death of a Minor (1975)

Nice! I have the Sergio Martino Collection too. How's the Fernando Di Leo Collection? Would you recommend it? How does it compare to other similar sets?

reply

Di Leo was one of the absolute best directors in the poliziotteschi genre, so if you like those kinds of films then this set is highly recommended. I am a big fan of the first 3 films in the list for sure. This is the only box set I’ve ever bought in this genre, and all the rest have been individual films.

reply

Cool. I might check it out. I noticed there is also a volume 2 of the set with 3 of his other films in it. Are you planning on getting volume 2?

reply

I have the ones included in volume 2 bought as single DVDs. I definitely recommend the films in volume 1 far above the second set.

reply

Blu-ray The Lord of the Rings trilogy back in 2009 or '10, I think.

reply

Cool. I have The Lord of the Rings trilogy on blu ray and on dvd.

reply

Nice!

I watched most of the trilogy on Amazon, a month or two ago, but I felt shorted because I've grown accustomed to the extended version. Do you prefer the extended version or the other?

reply

I prefer the theatrical but the extended is great too. The blu ray set I have is the theatrical and the dvd set is the extended.

reply

Probably the first 2 Predator movies on DVD.
