Awesome, Barton Fink. However I already have A Serious Man, don't have any interest in buying Intolerable Cruelty or Burn After Reading, and am not paying for that piece of crap Lebowski release, so hopefully it'll be announced separately soon.

Already have three of the five as standalone releases. I can only hope that Barton Fink gets an individual UK release.

Same here. The DVD was issued in the UK by Universal and Fox in America, while extras were identical the ratios were different - 1.66:1 for the US and 1.85:1 for the UK (according to DVDcompare.net) The French edition by Wildside which had better extras was also 1.66:1. I've no idea which is correct as I've never seen a comparison. Could just be another cheap rush job with the film slung on blu without extras like Intolerable Cruelty

Completely agree - I've got the other four, would love Barton Fink.

I clicked on this really hoping it was the Fox Coens set that was just released in the US with Fargo, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple (even though that's Universal over here) and Miller's Crossing.

KubrickFan · 09-16-2011, 05:56 PM

I hope Barton Fink gets a separate release too. I own the rest of them, and I'm obviously not going to buy them again. I have to say that Intolerable Cruelty, while not having any bonus features (those on the DVD were lean anyway) still looks really good, in my opinion.

The boxset is of the same design as the DVD boxset - 'cept without "The Hudsucker Proxy" and "Blood Simple". This design works well for the DVD set but it is ghastly-looking for Blu

I won't be buying.

No Fargo, no thanks.

Well thats pissed me off, the DVD version has The Hudsucker Proxy and Blood simple in the set and this Blu Ray set does not, why??!?

LukeJudkins · 09-18-2011, 10:51 PM

Does this boxset have all the films in separate cases?

Not sure, it's a bit of a hack box set really

CJPowers · 09-19-2011, 10:14 AM

Barton Fink needs to be released individually as I've got three of those already. Not really interested in Intolerable Cruelty either.

I want to know when The Man Who Wasn't There and O Brother, Where Art Thou are getting released over here.

Agreed.

Howie Munson · 09-19-2011, 04:51 PM

BARTON FINK is a must-have for me so I will double dip if necessary with the other titles.

No Country for Old Men is distributed by Paramount, so can not be in this box set by Universal.
