Is there a boxset for the Stanley Kubrick collection?

[Himu]

I'm looking for a boxset but to no avail, I have found nothing. Do these dvds simply just have "STANLEY KUBRICK COLLECTION" to taunt me?

Is this shit out of print?

[FlameOfCallandor]

Yes, but its not worth owning.

[Himu]

And why is that?

look you bitch

[Himu]

I know, but I can't find it in stores and shit. Is it out of print? Because it seems more expensive than other boxsets, like say, Hitchcock's. I mean, if this was released in 2000 or 2001, why the hell does it still cost this much?

That's VHS.

To answer the OP's question, yes, there was one, but I think as a set it is out of print.  The individual cardboard-cased movies were in it.  The set was very expensive, and the movies generally don't have good features, so it really wasn't worth the high price tag.  I'm hoping someone does these DVDs right some day.

[FlameOfCallandor]

And why is that?

Because his movies are incredibly boring and outside of Dr stranglove they suck.

Okay, because I loved Full Metal Jacket, I'm going to ask you to silently kill yourself. If his other films are at that quality, or even above it, I think this set would be quite a nice gift.

[FlameOfCallandor]

You loved one movie by a director and want to get a box set? Ok. Watch Dr. Stranglove and you'll be fine.

Most of his movies are better than that.  FoC is a film student, ie. he likes Hollywood crap.  Ignore his opinions when it comes to people that work outside the system.

[Himu]

Well, considering the fact that the said director is universally praised, and that people consider FMJ one of his weakest efforts, I would think that a purchase of the boxset would be quite up my alley; I thought FMJ was brilliant.

[FlameOfCallandor]

You really dont know film students do you TVC. Which is suprising, becuase you would fit the stereotypical film student here.

[Human Snorenado]

Hey guys you know what would be awesome?  If FoC drank Drano until he died.  That'd be pretty cool.

[TVC15]

That hurts.

Did someone say something?

[FlameOfCallandor]

That wasnt supposed to be a put down. I just think its ironic that you are calling me a typical film student when Im the farthest thing from one, and you are pretty damn close.

[Human Snorenado]

Someone tell Flame of Retardor to kill himself in the most gruesome way possible.  I want his genes out of my pool.

[Himu]

Okay, fuck it. You're going back to the ignore list. I liked you for a bit,  you got a bit cool, and now you're worse than ever.

So TVC, would you say that it's just better to get the movies individually? I'd figure that's the case. It definitely seems cheaper, but I'm a box set whore. I HAVE to have the box! What about that documentary dvd that comes in there?

And yeah, the extras for FMJ sucked. 

[TVC15]

Barry lyndon

is his best movie.

I never owned the set.  I just own some of the individual titles.  They used to be like 40 a pop individually, with little extra content, so I've only started picking them up recently because I've been seeing them cheaper.

[FlameOfCallandor]

It aint bad.

[Madrun Badrun]

I've never even heard of Barry lyndon  , whats it about?

Why Isnt Spartacus in the collection? or even paths of glory - if i remember correctly that was alright too.

[FlameOfCallandor]

I take back what I said. I like sparticus and Barry.

40 dollars a pop? What a rip. I'll get them individually then. I got FMJ for um...I think 11 bucks, or maybe 9. What Kubrick film should I see next, though? I'm torn between 2001 and Clockwork.

[FlameOfCallandor]

Dr. Stranglove you fool.

[TVC15]

Barry Lyndon is about this 18th century dude that wanders around 18th century Europe trying to make a name for himself.  

Spartacus. . . I dunno.  Maybe some studio owns the rights to it? Same with Paths of Glory.  Since that was his first, and he was probably after whatever funding he could get, he probably sold away the rights to someone that doesn't want to let go.

[GilloD]

I have this boxset. I would not advise spending your money on it

[Madrun Badrun]

Dr. Stranglove you fool.

or clockwork would be the correct answer.  cant go wrong with either.  2001 is overrated. 

[brawndolicious]

Clockwork Orange sucked.  The story (which I already didn't like) was based on the American version of the book where an editor took out the 21st chapter where the whole story was supposed to come together and the writer says that's extremely important.

Depends what kind of movie you want to see.  Both the movies you named are great, but I'd recommend watching The Shining before you get into his hardline masterpieces.  After watching everything else, The Shining loses a bit of its luster, but on its own, it's an excellent suspense flick.

Also, am nintenho is a stupid homosexual.

that makes me sad, I mean throw in eyes wide shut and you would have completed the collection - which might have made it worth that amount of money. 

Its like leaving enter the dragon out of the bruce lee collection - just one more movie and it would have been complete

No, I'm not in the mood to bother you guys that much so I made sure that I said that the author took a huge shit on the movie so interpret that as you will.

You cant limit Kubrick to what the author wants!

flame said it had no story.  2001 is the only movie I know that requires no story to be good.

Man, a thread with FoC and am nintenho bickering back and forth is like taking a bath in your own urine.

No I gave an honest opinion, I was planning on doing something annoying because I came here after hearing Flame said some stupid movie suggestion but I'm not bothering anybody yet.

Himu: get 2001, stat! Just like TGTBATU is my favorite film, and Vertigo is a close second, well, you guess it, 2001 is a close third. Those 3 are pretty much interchangeable for me.

for the benefit of mankind, we should make out

Himuro, all of the titles in the set have been released individually, are relatively cheap and there's a newer version of Dr. Strangelove with a pretty good chunk of extra stuff on it floating around. It's also missing a few of his important movies like The Killing, Spartacus, and Paths of Glory. Depending on the price of the box, I think you'd be better off just getting them individually.

Hopefully 2001 is played on AMC or TCM next week!

Man, I keep holding off on getting a netflix account. NEXT WEEK.

Does ACM and TCM show films uncut in their OAR though? Honest question (dont have those channels), not a criticism. If not, fuck that noise, get the DVDs.

I've seen it done a few time recently on history channel and bravo I do believe. 

TCM are uncut.

I wonder how cheap 2001 is. Vertigo's pretty damn cheap.

Amazon says they were released on the same day, so it probably does. The older one is the one with the astronaut on the dvd cover.

Dude, hold out for the upcoming SE's this year, don't get the shitty snapper versions.

[Himu]

SE's? SE's for the Kubrick films?

[The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment]

Yes, they have been rumored since early last year and Warner basically all but officially announced them for this Fall.

[Himu]

Give me a link.

[Robo]

Even for Dr. Strangelove? The 40th Anniversary Edition just came out last year, if I remember correctly.

Wow, nevermind. It came out in 2004.
