A Serious Man
The Big Lebowski
Barton Fink
Burn After Reading
Intolerable Cruelty

I'm a big fan of all Coen brothers films except the rather pointless and ineffective 'The Ladykillers'. This collection is a little odd as it does not cover a specific sequence of their films nor genre (some are drama, some are farce, some a mixture !), but if pushed I suppose you could say it does collate 5 of their 'strange' films - albeit it is incomplete in that sense as others such as 'O Brother Where Art Thou ?' are absent. Having said that, it is a worthwhile acquisition for the films it contains - especially as it is currently the only way to get hold of 'Barton Fink' on Blu-ray.....

I was only able to compare 4 of the discs to DVD as I already have 'A Serious Man' on Blu-ray

As to the others, not all really 'justify' an upgrade to HD picture/sound but nonetheless are (as expected) an improvement. 'Barton Fink' gains significantly, being much sharper/brighter (probably because it is the oldest film) but it shares a similarity to 'Intolerable Cruelty' in that there are no extras whatsoever, not even the short featurette/trailer or deleted scenes that are present on the DVDs...

I've added a photo of the back of the box, which details the specification of each disc, to the main Amazon page for this Blu-ray boxset.

Happily, the standard Blu-rays of the remaining 3 movies ('The Big Lebowski', 'Burn After Reading' and ''A Serious Man') do contain extras; to avoid any confusion, they are the standard retail discs devoid of their respective Blu-ray boxes.Read more ›
