For some reason they included the widescreen versions of The Shining and Full Metal Jacket which were originally filmed in 4:3 and then chopped for the theaters. It'd be nice if a set was put together by a film historian instead of a marketing guy.

At least we'll get nice new releases of Clockwork and 2001. I'm still buying it tonight.

I've seen the A Life In Pictures documentary that's included on cable; it's a really good one.

There's already a two-disc special edition of Dr. Strangelove out on DVD, the only Kubrick to get a 2-Disc edition so far, this is one of the reasons why I don't own any Kubrick movies, many of them, even "Clockwork Orange" have that "matted" widescreen thing, I have a widescreen tv so they should just release a version that is enlarged for 16:9 screen sizes.

Yeah, I meant re-release.

Hmm, better hang out for version 2.0 of this box set, peeps.

That one will truly be next level.

srsly

yea, saw this at best buy yesterday. looks good and its pretty affordable.

Worth it for the extras, but don't know if I can ever imagine having the patience to sit through FMJ or EWS again.

I'm not a fan of "Eyes Wide Shut" either (I guess it doesn't help that I think Tom Cruise to be a fist magnet extraordinaire), but it's nice for this boxset to be put together, anyways.

damn, I want this set!

should I really wait for a version 2.0, or is this christmas present worthy??

Ahh, thanks floatingslowly.

No Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, or Paths of Glory in the set. :(
