Best of Warner Bros. 50 Film Collection - January 29, 2013

[CinemaScope]

I don't know who buys these boxes, I mean if you wanted the movies you'd already have them. I'm sure it will work out a great price per film, but it will still be a big outlay.

Should Citizen Kane, Wizard of Oz, and Gone with the Wind be included as they weren't originally released by Warner?

+1. Definitely a repackaging.

They should not, but they will. Same thing with Paramount releasing "Hondo" as part of their centennial (at least according to the press release here), when the movie was originally a Warner release, back in 1953. And I thought Universal was going to fall into this trap releasing "Double indemnity" as part of their centennial, but it seems they have restrained themselves from doing this.

Here's my guess of what the set will contain:

-Casablanca
-Gone With The Wind
-The Adventures Of Robin Hood
-The Town
-The Watchmen
-Batman
-Superman
-Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?
-Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
-300
-The Shining
-Batman Begins
-The Dark Knight
-The Hangover
-Happy Feet
-Harry Potter and The Sorceror's Stone
-The Shawshank Redemption
-The Matrix
-A Star Is Born
-V For Vendetta
-Blazing Saddles
-Camelot
-Ben-Hur
-A Clockwork Orange
-Inception
-The Exorcist
-GoodFellas
-Gremlins
-JFK
-Malcolm X
-Lethal Weapon
-The Lost Boys
-The Goonies
-Michael Clayton
-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
-National Lampoon's Vacation
-Ocean's Eleven
-Ocean's 11
-Splice
-Training Day
-A Streetcar Named Desire
-Purple Rain
-Dirty Harry
-Blade Runner
-Caddyshack
-All The President's Men

My fear is that about a third of the titles will be new to Blu-ray such as The Right Stuff to get people to buy it and that would only delay further the individual release of a movie that I have waited for for a long time.

Sorrry, I was typing my post while the one above was being posted. Please disreguard.
