Sony Double Features - Blu-ray Forum

tylergfoster · 06-18-2013, 06:50 PM

Dropped into Walmart today and saw some new double features from Sony (in a single case, not their "two-cases-in-a-slip" style they were doing before). The four sets were:

Groundhog Day / Stripes
The Bridge on the River Kwai / The Guns of Navarone
Legends of the Fall / Les Miserables (1998)
2012 / Godzilla (1998)

I forgot to write the prices down (d'oh), and I didn't have my camera, but I remember glancing at the first one and it was $12.something, and I expect the others are probably the same price.

Hope to see more of these going forward.

I wish they would release the original cut of Stripes on blu-ray.

Damn, I own all but Godzilla

Trying to think of what other ones I might like. Snatch / Layer Cake or Snatch / Revolver comes to mind. The Quick and the Dead / Silverado. I would say Cliffhanger, but they'd probably put it with Vertical Limit. Same with Spirits Within and Advent Children, Mask and Legend of Zorro. Not sure what would go with Starman (I don't think Ghosts of Mars) or Run Lola Run. The Fall / Southland Tales?

Run Lola Run has previously been in a double pack (two releases packed together) with La Femme Nikita

It'll probably never happen, but a Drive/Taxi Driver double feature could work. Based on that poll thread, some would love it and others would hate it.

Another possiblity is Fincher double-pack with The Social Network, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

If anyone finds Snatch / Layer Cake, I would like to buy it through you, as the Walmarts in my area don't seem to carry it.

Still interested in this. They even have it on the Walmart website now, but it can't be ordered.

I've never been a fan of double feature Blu-ray packages, but I'd like to own these. In both cases, the movies make sense belonging in the same package, and I can understand the logic. I may have to go hunting around Walmart soon.

Are these Wal-Mart exclusives or do other places (like Amazon) carry them?

So far, WM exclusive.

I'm assuming that would be the orignal released version of Godzilla and NOT the Mastered in 4K version in that double pack?

Yeah, original.

In the 2012 / Godzilla (1998) double feature, do they contain UVs for both films?
