Stanley Kubrick: Limited Edition Collection (1960-1999) - Blu-ray Forum

wilky61 · 02-14-2011, 04:28 PM

Wow, that's a hell of a haul! Some people might want to sell their individual Blu-Rays in a hurry then.

biglou114 · 02-14-2011, 05:23 PM

I guess I need to think about getting this. I'm glad that I haven't got around upgrading my Kubrick DVDs yet, but for some reason though I doubt that the Spartacus disc won't be any different from the Universal one.

I'll probably get this if the mood strikes me.

ImportFanatic · 02-14-2011, 05:26 PM

Holy shit! Now if only the included Spartacus disc was a proper release...

Rizor · 02-14-2011, 07:01 PM

Consider me disappointed. I would've been happy to double dip if they'd spent more time on these instead of just bundling the existing versions of these films with some new featurettes on Clockwork and barebones editions of Lolita, Barry Lyndon, etc., but I don't know right now.

Minimejer05 · 02-14-2011, 07:12 PM

I just got Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut and A Clockwork Orange from WB's DVD to Blu. Only movies of his I actually bought were The Shining, 2001 and Dr. Strangelove.

What I want to know is how Warner Bros managed to get Dr. Strangelove and Spartacus. Aren't they owned by Sony and Universal?

JJE-187 · 02-14-2011, 07:17 PM

Just give me a Lolita stand alone release. I have all the others that i want from that set or can pick them up used for next to nothing.

Warner got "Dr. Strangelove" from Sony in '99 and '01 for the first two DVD box sets. As far as "Spartacus" is concerned licensing it to Warner Bros. is really no different than licensing it to Criterion, which Universal also did earlier.

I'd be willing to guess that Universal had a bunch of unsold "Spartacus" discs they were trying to unload and Warner Bros. probably got a deal. If they even have different disc art I'll be surprised.

miTfan3 · 02-14-2011, 09:51 PM

I deffinatly want the new Clockwork Orange release but this 9 movie collection is deffinatly tempting especially since I don't own any Kubrick movies. But I'll probably wait till amazon has got a good price for it.

The Blufather · 02-14-2011, 07:17 PM

Kubrick is one of my favorite directors so I'll probably be getting this. Just this month I got 5 of his movies on blu ray but they were with the dvd2blu deal so it's $25 so not too bad of a double dip for me. Will wait and see.

Talal86 · 02-14-2011, 07:23 PM

I already own
A Clockwork Orange
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Shining
Eyes Wide Shut

will these movies get a new transfer? I hope not, I got them recently

Wings80 · 02-14-2011, 07:41 PM

Paths of Glory is an amazing film.

GuruAskew · 02-14-2011, 05:24 PM

I'd luckily only paid $7 or $8 for 2001 before I heard rumors of this.

Hopefully that Spartacus isn't the same DNR-ridden Universal disc, though I suspect it probably is, same with Strangelove. I'm guessing "A Clockwork Orange" is the only updated version of an already-released title.

I can't imagine Warner Bros. would leave "Lolita" and "Barry Lyndon" exclusive to the box set for too long but they don't mention individual releases in this press release.

Hopefully Criterion will release "Killer's Kiss" and "The Killing" soon as rumored.

I hope not. I sold the DVDs in anticipation of individual Blu-ray releases. I'm not rebuying all those other Kubrick flicks just to get 2 movies.

Is there any reason to keep the individual discs if you own this new set?
Up until I gave away one set a couple weeks ago to my brother, I had three different sets of the "Kubrick Collection" on DVD because of varying features from each set.

I would love for this to be my 'definitive' set so I can get rid of the several copies of each film I have.
That is until Lolita and Barry Lyndon are released with bonus features…

TYSONvsCHANNING · 06-02-2011, 07:36 PM

I just received my set from Borders in perfectly fine condition. The thing they sent it in was pretty weird though. Just the packaging it self is great. As for all of the complainers about the discs being crammed in their pretty good: stop whining. I easily took them out with out getting prints on the disc. Granted, it would have been better if they weren't so tight but come on, if you can't get the disc out of there, you must be in awful physical condition. Takes five seconds to get the disc out. Boo hoo. Absolutely great set! Long awaited and paid off.

Not really! I did keep my Dr. Stanglelove Digibook, though!

My Stanley Kubrick Blus...

Dr. Stranglelove Digibook
Killing, The (Pre-Ordered)
Kubrick Collection
Paths of Glory

Thanks for the reply. The Strangelove digi-book is a keeper.
Now, if Criterion was able to give us their print of Spartacus and Killer's Kiss on blu-ray, I wouldn't have to re-buy another Kubrick film for a very long time!

(I'm content with the DVDs I've managed to find from Fear and Desire and before.)

Killer's Kiss will come with the Killing in August from Criterion!
