We received the boxed set earlier than expected from Amazon and that was great. The films in this set are very good. Would recommend this set of films to anyone who are idols of the Coen Brothers.

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. You will surely watch all of these movies many times and love every minute. This is a must have for Coen brothers fans. For the money this collection is your best bet.

great for that price. 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.

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). Does it sound like I'm nitpicking details. 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. That being said, this is a terrific collection and highly recommended. 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. 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. I just checked "Fargo," and it filled the screen nicely (though neither film has a really pristine transfer).

They are an American treasure, as far as I am concerned. If you love the Coen Brothers' movies.and who doesn't.this is a great deal. You will always have something to watch.
