did anyone do that thing where you had to buy 3 or 4 titles and you would get Sunrise for free?
looking around i saw that it was going to be released as part of a 4 DVD set in October.
just wondering if anyone had info, specs, comments on it

:cry:
yea... i did it (bought All About Eve, How Green Was My Valley, and The Day the Earth Stood Still)
One of my favorite dvds... my favorite film of all time. The dvd is one of my most prized possessions (i have about 130). The film became my favorite upon first viewing... commentary is excellent. Great picture and sound (the movie has a movietone track) given the film's age. Great, informative, and interesting features.

does this mean you wish you had it?
i don't guess they have any plans to release it on it's own?
i wonder why they're doing this?
i got to see a vhs copy at my univ's library. some of the compositions really amazed me. i'd prob. definately buy it if it was on it's own

You are not alone (http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayreview/story/0,12102,985350,00.html)
I rented the DVD a few months ago and I was surprised that Fox would put so much effort into a disc and only have it available as a freebie after buying 3 other titles. But the Studio Classics DVDs can be had for as little as $12-14 dollars, so you don't have to spend much money. Plus there are some good titles there. Even if you don't like them, there's always eBay.
Since Murnau's "4 Devils" is lost, they included a 40 minute reconstruction with narration and photos. I didn't watch the whole thing, but it is still a very nice addition.

Ok so I'm in Canada and I'm getting incredibly impatient for Sunrise now. So I was thinking of going and buying the Day the Earth Stood Still, How Green Was My Valley, and either All About Eve or Anastasia (I have AAE on Vhs and don't know its dvd extras)..
So how does this work anyhow? I pay for shipping, I presume.. and when does my baby come home to me?
great. i just got my dvds in the mail today and i put in sunrise to see what the transfer looks like. after some sputtering i get "this disc is incompatible with this player. please insert a compatible disc". clearly i'm cursed. the other discs in the set work, only the rare limited edition one wont play.
did you do the 4 for 3 deal?
i was hoping that the deal would be a limited time thing and that eventually i could just buy Sunrise.
