Two-thirds of these movies would be out of copyright and free to download if the content industry hadn't hijacked copyright law. The fact that companies are still selling a movie from 1929 should be viewed as disgraceful.
Wish this was in VHS format.

I know Fellowship and Towers didn't receive best picture, but weird to only include Return when they could have just included another film instead (unless they only have 20 best picture films?)

This collection is specifically for Warner Bros best pictures. Why wouldn't they include one of their highest grossing?

BTW years ago, I watched most of the best pictures throughout each decade. Some where fantastic--Mrs. Minivar and Grand Hotel among them. This is a set well worth the money for some epic movies from yesteryear, especially if you can discover a little off their historical context, e.g. that Mrs. Minivar was shot completely during the height of the third reich.

Great deal! That said, I'm still surprised when I read that DVDs still outsell Blu-rays...
