Copied from the old IVS forum.  This Collection appears to be completed as no new releases have occurred since 7/11/06.  This is simply a reference for those who might be interested in what is in this collection.

As with the Fox Film Noir topic that I just started, finding information about this collection is challenging at best.  Although they have a website here, it is never up-to-date.

I'd like to keep an up-to-date list of the films in this collection in this opening post.  As new releases are announced, I'll update the list here.

Although this may be controversial, I am not going to list the last three films that are listed on their website as being part of this collection, because I don't think they are.  They are called "Cinema Classics" and do not have the distinctive white covers.  In fact they do not have the volume numbers on the spine either.

I was beginning to think that this collection was being terminated, but I see where "The Black Swan" is being released on July 11th, so I have to assume that it's still alive.

In addition to the individual volumes listed below, there is also a release called "Fox Studio Classics: The "Best Picture Collection" containing the four films in this collection that won "Best Picture" Academy Awards:  'Sunrise', 'All About Eve', 'How Green Was My Valley' and 'Gentlemen's Agreement'.

'Sunrise' was also made available through an offer from Fox where you could send in a form with proof of purchase of three of their other Studio Classics, and Fox would send 'Sunrise' to you just for the shipping cost.  At least in the U.S., I do not believe 'Sunrise' was ever available through the normal retail channels, except as part of the "Best Picture Collection".  It was not assigned a Volume number, but is labeled 'Limited Edition' instead.

Yup, you're quite correct, Jon.  This is the Region 1 collection.  The Region 2 collection is much larger, includes many of what are in the Region 1 Fox War Classics, some other completely different titles and is missing some that are in the Region 1 set.

This link gives you lots of detail comparing the two collections:

Just consider the other posts as room for future expansion.

Thanks for moving these over, Hal.

There are three new titles on the site:

- Island in the Sun;
- Pinky; and
- Stormy Weather.

Upcoming titles:

- Black Swan.

Well, now that I'm moving to HD, I'm trying to avoid as much DVD purchasing as possible.  But I just couldn't leave my collection unfinished.  So I'm happy to report that I got In Old Chicago and The River's Edge today to finally finish off my Fox Studio Classics collection.  I now own all 41 (Sunrise plus the other 40).  And I only have 6 more to watch.
