Uncle Buck
Sixteen Candles
Great Outdoors
Career Opportunities
The Breakfast Club
Weird Science
Vacation
Planes Trains and Automobiles
Home Alone

That would be ridiculous ...

Maybe the title should be The John Hughes Masterpiece Collection

Pretty good box set, although there's a strong case to be made for Ferris Bueller's Day Off to be included. I'm pretty surprised The Great Outdoors isn't on blu-ray yet, and as much as I like Career Opportunities, it's probably not going to make it to blu-ray anytime soon.

True .. Maybe replace weird science with Ferris ...

I would buy a box set like this.

It's too bad it's blu is one of the worst released. Shame.

I feel like we are never going to see Career Opportunities or The Great Outdoors at this point.

I'm guessing "She's Having A Baby" is already on blu then?

Nah .. Just not one of my favorites ... I was trying to limit the set to only nine titles

What about Pretty in Pink?

I agree, The great Outdoors should have already been out of Blu. I don't understand the hold-up..... + It never really got a good DVD release.

The only way to get this movie in its full 1:85.1 anamorphic widescreen ( not NON-Anamorphic ) was to purchase "the John Candy Comedy Favorites Collection" DVD set.

Over both ponds, they only got the 1:78.1 non-Anamorphic versions....sad

Don't forget Mr. Mom, too. The only way to get it currently is on DVD, and it's a terrible looking 3:4 pan-and-scan. I've been dying to see it done properly, in it's original 1:1.85 on BD.
