The films in this collection are:
It Happened One Night (1934), directed by Frank Capra
You Can't Take It with You (1938), directed by Frank Capra
All the King's Men (1949),
From Here to Eternity (1953),
On the Waterfront (1954),
The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), directed by David Lean (2 discs)

A Man for All Seasons (1966),
Oliver! (1968),
Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Gandhi (1982). directed by Richard Attenborough (2 discs)

The description of extras is all jumbled together in the press release, but this is what goes with what, the best that I can figure:

DVD Features
Extras for Gandhi:
An Introduction from Lord Richard Attenborough
The Funeral
The Making of Gandhi Photo Montage
The Words Of Mahatma Gandhi

Extras for A Man For all Seasons:

Extras for Lawrence of Arabia:

Extras on It Happened One Night:

Frank Capra Jr. Remembers... "It Happened One Night"
Vintage Advertising

Extras for Bridge Over the River Kwai:
Rise and Fall of a Jungle Giant
Exclusive Documentary - Adaptation of Boulle's novel, casting, history of production, score, release, restoration and more.
Vintage Newsreel footage
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.

I purchased this from an Amazon deal of the day and it is just incredible. All 11 films include audio commentary closed caption & subtitles. I need the closed caption & subtitles since my daughter is deaf. The commentaries are from either the director a historian or the directors of photography the directors family or multiple commentaries. I was born in 1857, er, sorry-a bit latter but after January of 1957 and I was not around for the premiers of all of these gems. "It Happened one Night" has marvelous commentary from Frank Capra's son who has a very gentle voice and a plethora of information, much more than you would expect. The film has awesome acting and it was one of Clark Gable's rare foray into comedy. MGM was punishing Gable for a pedantic reason (more than attitude but more like payback for an affair-not adulterous though) and after he won the Oscar he was barred from comedy which after seeing this film you will may agree that he should have done some more comedy. Columbia was considered an independent film company and the big 5 were RKO, MGM, Paramount, Warner Brothers & 20th Century Fox while Columbia, Universal & United artists were yet to surpass or at least rival them. I am a film fanatic which is odd since music is my passion. I find it very easy to write record and release an album and began with vinyl records-cassette tapes and now 11 CD releases (Amazon, I-Tunes etc) but writing a film narrative let alone filming one is very difficult for me, but by viewing masterpieces and independent films is helping and this collection is a great help. For whatever your reason if you love film don't let this elude you. You shouldn't let it pass you by.

I will not be reviewing the content of the movies in this collection, as Amazon reviews are for reviewing the quality of products. If I were to review the movies themselves, I would be giving this product five stars since this is a solid collection with some truly fantastic masterpieces, which is great for any movie collector who doesn't own any of these yet.

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.

I bought this set. This set is constructed like a proper library book with slip cover. I like all the films and have re-watched On The Waterfront, All the King's Men and Kramer VS Kramer recently. This set is not a 4K Blu Ray re-issue and may be some could use it like All The King's Men could be crisper. Great movies and this is a set you wouldn't be as likely to just toss away.

Excellent product. Although, I already had most of the films in this 11 film collection, I did not have the special features included in the Columbia Pictures Best Pictures Collections Box Set. This amounted to about 47 different special features including feature length commentaries and special featurettes such as "Ben Kingsley talks about Gandhi", "Frank Capra Jr. Remembers... 'It Happened One Night'" and "Making of Lawrence of Arabia". 14 disks in all, so in order to enjoy this collection as it is meant to be enjoyed be prepared, you will need to have the time set aside. ~~ronhman
