Great collection, great price! August 30, 2008 This is a must have for Coen brothers fans. Awesome collection of their earlier works. The only missing piece is The Big Lebowski. Alas this will be re-released again and again in various collector editions. For the money this collection is your best bet. You will surely watch all of these movies many times and love every minute.
interesting choices July 20, 2008 a good collection if you already have the big lebowski. i purchased this collection because it was the deal of the day and priced at i recall $20 or so. great for that price!
Warning - Raising Arizona is Small/Letterboxed July 6, 2008 It pains me to give this collection less than 5 stars, because these are unbelievably great films at what has (at times) been a great price. But in presenting "Raising Arizona" to friends and family last night, I was frustrated that I couldn't get the 16:9 picture to fill my HDTV screen. So I fiddled with controls on the DVD player and the TV set itself, continually failing to make the picture large enough (though the aspect ratio was fine). Only later did I find out that this is not a true 16:9 anamorphic transfer, but a "letterboxed" version - meaning you're only going to get a picture about half the size your television is capable of showing. I just checked "Fargo," and it filled the screen nicely (though neither film has a really pristine transfer). Does it sound like I'm nitpicking details? Maybe so - but it's only because these are COEN BROTHERS films, and are so close to being perfect that I'd like the technical side to live up to the films themselves. That being said, this is a terrific collection and highly recommended.
Coen Brothers smorgasbord June 27, 2008 If you love the Coen Brothers' movies...and who doesn't??!!......this is a great deal. You will always have something to watch. They are an American treasure, as far as I am concerned.

I really like this collection. It's great for the price. I already had Fargo, but it was scratched, so it worked out. I cant get enough of that movie, its definitely a favorite. Miller's Crossing I had never seen, probably wont watch again for a while, a little boring, but still good. Barton Fink I had never seen, and I loved it, great movie. Raising Arizona I had never seen, also a little boring, but fun. And Blood Simple, I have seen once, awesome movie. I would definitely recommend this collection to any Coen Brothers fan.
