Deadwood for me because it was the most expensive blind buy I ever had and I was 110% satisfied!

Star Wars: The Original Trilogy

It has great video and audio quality, a simple, standard case, and was fairly cheap (I paid about $18).
Way too many of the box sets are in clunky case that provide little protection and are way overpriced. This includes Star Wars: The Complete Saga but I don't care about the extras or the prequel trilogy so there was no need to get that.

The UK rerelease of the Alien Anthology was also nice, but the US version and the original UK release both had terrible cases.

Also if TV seasons are counted as box sets: Most of the recent releases from WB have been great (since they switched to HD audio). Great video and audio, simple, standard cases, and efficient number of discs. My favorites are Shameless Season 1, Fringe Season 3, Supernatural Season 6, and Smallville Season 10.

Alien, Star Wars, and (soon enough) Indy. A quick thanks to the geek gods for the bookstyle packaging

Lord of the Rings Extended Editions

Excepting the length of the sleeves, the complete collection of Lost is pretty sweet

blueskeeper11 · 07-27-2012, 01:14 AM

Lord of the Rings Extended Edition, Aliens Anthology & The Bourne Trilogy

cine74 · 07-27-2012, 01:15 AM

Alien Anthology

Runner Up: Dirty Harry Collection

And I'm not even considering the extensive extras, I just love these films very much

SomeFilmBuff · 07-27-2012, 01:16 AM

The Alien Anthology set would be my choice as well simply because it's the sexiest in my collection and it truly is a definitive release.

Despite all three having mild to moderate DNR.

P@t_Mtl · 07-27-2012, 02:21 AM

The Star Wars set, even if the Star Wars geek in me would have prefer something even bigger with all the different versions of the movies, more special features and the Holliday Special included in the set.
