And obvious ommisions from my list are the W.C Fields box, the Gary
Cooper set.....Also some films leased to Criterion such as "Trouble in
Paradise." There are several other worthy releases of classic
Paramount films I'm forgetting. Next to Warner I think they're the
best-represented of the studios for earlier classic titles. And when
yoiu say "Etc." I'm sure you're not including the above-mentioned
Warner Brothers?? Also Columbia films are getting a decent showing,
though the DVDs tend to be pricy.
