An Appreciation by John Milius
By going back and checking extras on existing releases, this appears to be a repackaging of stock, with no new releases just for this collection. Also, this list of extras may be incomplete, because some films do have extras on their DVDs that are not listed in the product description I have seen. For example, the current release of Kramer vs. Kramer has a "Making Of" documentary that is not listed in the press release for this set.
This does appear to be a complete collection of Academy Award winners by Sony/Columbia, with the exception of The Last Emperor, which is currently on DVD via the Criterion Collection. Double dips could occur if you already own The Premiere Frank Capra Collection (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington / It Happened One Night / You Can't Take It with You / Mr. Deeds Goes to Town / American Madness / Frank Capra's American Dream), which would cause you to purchase "It Happened One Night" and "You Can't Take it With You" twice. There is also the The David Lean Collection (Lawrence of Arabia / The Bridge on the River Kwai / A Passage to India) as well as the WWII 60th Anniversary Collection (The Guns of Navarone/From Here to Eternity/The Bridge on the River Kwai) (Includes Collectible Scrapbook). All of these collections overlap with the new Bst Pictures Collection.
This is a very fine collection that combines all of Columbia's best picture Oscar winners into a single set and it's bound in a very cool book-like casing that's visually appealing, though time will tell of its durability.
I do have one complaint however: the size. I would assume that anybody purchasing a collection like this is most probably a movie collector, so they probably have a whole bunch of movies to begin with, meaning, they would most likely prefer their movies to fit uniformly on their shelf. While the casing is very cool, it could've easily been made much smaller so as to be more in sync with all of the other dvds on my shelf, but the way it is just awkwardly sticks out and it was difficult to place with all of my other movies.
Otherwise, I'd highly recommend this product. It's very nice, it comes with some truly great movies, and the casing looks awesome even if it's a bit big and awkward.
