DMann2003 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 I picked up this collection at Sam's Club tonight for 43.53 (46.80 after tax). For those who maybe unaware, this collection features 6 gangster pictures from the 30's (and one from 1949). Back during the 30's Warner Bros. was known for its gangster pictures (much like MGM was identified for musicals, Universal for horror films and Columbia for comedies). The stars highlighted in this collection include Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart (who share billing in 2 of the films. The collection includes: Little Ceaser The Public Enemy The Petrified Forrest Angels With Dirty Faces The Roaring Twenties White Heat This equals, after tax, to 7.90 a film. And each one has historian commentaries, featurettes totalling nearly 2hrs, cartoons, newsreels, shorts, trailers and a couple of radio adaptations. Being a film geek this was a steal. If you have any interest in these films (especially if you're a Sam's Club member) do not hesitate to pick these up.
cabbageboy Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 I didn't know about Sam's but I got totally screwed on this thing....ended up getting it at Best Buy for about 65.00. I looked on the site and it said it was about 55.00 too...so it actually jumped 10.00 when I got to the store! I was so pissed. Anyway I ended up making my dad copies of all 6 and he gave me 20.00 for my efforts, haha. Am I the only one who thinks Roaring 20s is the best of all these?
MrRant Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 This is even cheaper at Costco. I think I saw it for 39.99 or so.
