SOLD! Woot. best. week. ever.
I wonder if they'll include the "international version" of Eyes Wide Shut or if it'll be the US censored one. Ditto. Lolita should be here.

I love that 2001 cover. I may just have to get this. If 79.92 is the retail price, does that mean that most stores will have it out for 69.99-ish?
I'm really glad I waited so long to buy all these movies because this is definitely going to be worth the price cant wait for it
Anybody know if they're in widescreen?

OMG 2001, The Shining and Clockwork Orange will be mine but where is the HD Disc? I'm now really dubious about buying Special Editions when most I've already bought once already.
I wouldn't pick up the box set as Eyes Wide Shut is utter drivel.

Well what do you expect? It's got Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in it.

Awesome. I'll be getting (or rather replacing) Full Metal Jacket, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining.
Hope we'll see some more specs (and cover art for FMJ) soon.
And since these are coming to Australia, hope it reaches us on R2 (in Scandinavia) before 2008. (Or heck, before 2010!)
If they're in the same video formats as before I can live with that, but I'm very curious about the details and extras. What seperates "Deluxe" from "Special"?

Those are some great details. Re-releasing the previous version of Barry Lyndon? So it's the exact same disc (minus the old WB snap cases)? No new transfer or anything?
I hope we get some more details on that specific DVD soon.

Most of these films are a bit c**p. The Shining is only good for the bit Where Jack Nicolson opens the door and says "Where's Jonny?" The rest of it isn't scary though.
I'm disappointed with the box. The movies are such classics and deserve a box that is detailed and creative and worthy of the Kubrick name. This is something that looks like every other box that someone could create in a matter of minutes. 
FINALLY! I held off buying the other ones, single disc white snapper cus I KNEW these would be coming only when.
Hmmm...featureless Barry Lyndon and Lolita. Any word if they are getting new transfers?
Is there any news of a blu-ray release of the Kubrick collection, as well as Lolita and Barry Lyndon? And will there be extras on these two?

From what I've read, the reissues of Barry Lyndon and Lolita are going to be nothing more than the exact same discs as the previous versions.........sans snapper cases. "Supposedly" both films will be receiving their own special editions at a later date, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. Personally, I don't see why they didn't just go ahead and work on SEs for them alongside the rest of them so they could release a fully intact (at least with the films they own) Kubrick collection. Oh well. At least they actually put effort into theses SEs, as opposed to the 100% half-assed attempt at an anniversary edition that Poltergeist is getting.

I don't like the box art much. The pictures are too small and very unflattering. They honestly remind me of the poor picture quality of the last releases. That being said, the extras are awesome, I just hope they're substantial and not 8 minute puff pieces like on most releases.

Whoa, whoa. Barry Lyndon and Lolita might be getting special editions AFTER this? How absurd.

still no Eyes Wide Shut (Two-Disc Special Edition) or Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition) covers yet?
The Shining's special features are pretty disappointing.
Excellent. The director gets his due.
Horrendous boxset artwork...shame for what's inside.
Unrated Eyes Wide Shut? Finally...thank God.
hmm...i hate to say it, but i'll probably buy this set, even though i own the last kubrick collection. i need two disk versions of these movies.
I just found out about the edited American version of Eyes Wide Shut. I think I'll give this a 2nd chance with the unrated version.
I am still kind of skeptical about FMJ having an IAR (Intended Aspect Ratio) of 1.33:1 (or 1:37:1 I think). The movie looks very open matte, with TONS of head room on almost every shot. I'd like to see some comparisons, kind of...I think the IAR might be 1.85:1 or 1.66:1.
i think a plain white cover with a huge Kubrick signature in black would do.
Yep, I'm grabbin' that...
I truly hope that the Barry Lyndon DVD is not scimped on. It's probably my 3rd favorite Kubrick film after 2001 and A Clockwork Orange. It's a shame that it's not in this collection, although that is almost certainly because it wasn't as big a hit as the other films in this collection. At least not at the time.
I'm really looking forward to the commentaries on these dvd's, they should be very insightful. Particularly on Eyes Wide Shut, an extremely misunderstood film. And the perfect ending to Kubrick's filmmaking career.
