Summarygreat films, poor packaging
Content
The DVDs are great. They have lots of great extras, including commentary on additional scenes, insightful commentary in general, cast bios, etc. I was disappointed in the packaging -- flimsy cardboard and are smaller than more traditional packages.

I received these as a gift, and I think that as a gift, they are great.

I have watched these films over and over again and enjoy them each time. The acting is incredible and it amazes me that it's improvised -- the actors make it look so easy, which means it must be difficult! In A Mighty Wind, all the actors sing and play their own instruments, with some learning just for this film. Great dedication to their artform.

SummaryThree great movies, but what's so special about the price?
Content
I'm tempted to dock one star mainly because you'd actually pay LESS buying them separately than in this "special" package. ($14.99 each for Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show, $23.76 for Mighty Wind = $53.74). The three-fer costs over $55. What gives? Well, I suppose you save something on shipping.

Regardless, these three films are easily worth the money at either price.

SummaryFantastic Movies, Terrible Presentation
Content
Boo, Warner Brothers!!!

You've taken three amazing movies and packaged them terribly.

I was extremely excited to have received this "box set" for Christmas, until I unwrapped it. It's three seperate loose DVDs with no box to tie them all together. And to add insult to injury, all of the DVDs are encased in the old-school type packaging with the cheap cardboard cover and black "snap" latch.

Very disappointing. Warner Brothers SUCKS! They really need to work on how they showcase their work on DVD in the future. They could take a real hint from New Line which always releases their best films with pride and flair.

As far as the movies go, they are amazing and packed with extras. It's just sad that they would call this a collection and not treat it as such.

Summaryno savings

This "Christopher Guest Collection" is not a good deal. It is actually more expensive than buying the three DVDs separately. This really disappoints me because I hold amazon to a higher standard than other stores and I never thought they would try to fool their customers like this.

SummaryGreat movies at an AWESOME price.
Content
It's hard to beat the "bang-for-your-buck" that these three solid films delivers -- getting the group of three at this amazing price (with an additional $10 rebate between now and February 2004) is well worth it no matter how many of these films you've seen so far or how familiar you are with Christopher Guest's work.

Guest absolutely nails the 'mockumentary' genre, no matter what his subject matter: a small-town theatre production ("Waiting for Guffman"), a dog show ("Best in Show"), or a folkie reunion ("A Mighty Wind"). Fans will argue all day about which of the three is the 'best', but it's certain that you will find something to love in each of them. Don't miss the deleted scenes!
