great price if you haven't picked up anything else in the set yet! (all are available as standalone releases now) still annoying that they didn't include the regular BDs for all of them, just three. paramount makes weird decisions sometimes.

Sweet deal! I only have Smile 4K so I was quite interested with this when it dropped to 50% discount a few days ago but didn't pull the trigger. But now that it dropped lower I think this is a no brainer for me and others who do not own much of what's included

For his leading role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Johnny Depp was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar (when the nomination limit was still five) but didn't win, which I agree with, i.e. one of the top five performances of the year, but not quite the best. My daughter loved Johnny Depp for his Pirate of the Caribbean role, but I hadn't particularly warmed to his performance, so my liking this movie caught me by surprise. He was really, REALLY good in the role, and the writer's did a great job of adapting it to the big screen from Broadway without warping it all out of recognition. Steven Sondheim who wrote the original Broadway hit was very involved in the production, and had veto power on the casting. It shows.

Just remember it's a Horror Musical, an odd genre to say the least, but somehow Tim Burton as director and Johnny Depp made it work. Plus, Depp has a surprisingly good tenor voice and I have a weakness for musicals. FYI in my opinion the R-rating should be a hard rating, not just for the violence, but for the moral ambiguity of most of the characters. They had to change several seconds of the deaths at the end of the film to keep the R-rating for the US release, it was at risk of NR due to the very graphic nature of violence, which BTW is necessary for the plot. It is an appalling violent movie, which it has to be to work.

You wouldn't think it because as a musical it has all the melodrama inherent to the genre, but the really evil character is not obvious at first, and if you are not familiar with the plot, a genuine surprise. It's not hard to figure out, but at least for me it was an at first "Am I getting this?" which transitioned to "Damn, instead of clubbing me over the head with the script and voice over, they developed it via acting and context." It's still definitely a horror movie, and the ending is tragic in exactly the way it needs to be for the story line. But early on it's obvious it cannot stay true to the excellent script, and not end badly for many of the characters.

What a weird collection of movies. I mean, they're all at least pretty good, but strange to put them all in a box set together.
