RNow lets crunch some numbers. This boxset costs $269.99 and contains 20 films. Dividing to find the cost of the individual film, we get a cost of $13.49 per film. This is a good deal to own this diverse and acclaimed set of Fox films. If you found this information helpful, please give this review a like. Thanks.

Simply a great collection for the price. If you're like me and want to upgrade your DVDs to Blu-ray, here's a very inexpensive way to do it. The picture and sound are great and all the films include extras, some more than others, of course. You'd be hard pressed to beat this deal anywhere.

I haven't watched all the movies yet.Just wanted to say a few words about "28 Days Later".I didn't care for the movie, but that's just my taste.I do want to let you know that the picture quality is that of a very bad DVD transfer.I was forced to give a star rating but I haven't seen all the movies yet, so I just put it in the middle.More to come, maybe.Happy viewing.

I am satisfied with the performance of the item, delivery.

Excellent. Handsome packaging of important work being done by a major studio. Extra credit for the well-produced bonus disc outlining Fox Searchlight's history. Essential for any serious cinephile.

So many movies! A great deal. The films are all entertaining and meaningful.

What, movie collection that actually includes all good movies? How novel and refreshing. No dogs in this box.

Excellent product!

I purchased this box set when it was on sale at 65,49$ and do not regret my purchase. All movies are great. For people interested in the french versions, please note that 4 movies: "Garden State", "Once", "Crazy Heart" and "Beasts of the Southern Wild" are only available in english.The only reason I did not give this box set 5 stars is the packaging. The slits for the movies are not that great and the pages unglued near the middle, setting loose 2 movies. It's a sturdy case which actually makes the pages hard to turn in the middle. Too bad, if it wasn't for the weird packaging, this box set would definitely be worth 5 stars. Still a great purchase for the quality of the movies.

I just got this collection today and opened up the first page. It came apart at the seams as my picture shows. However, the concept of having all the movies as individual discs is great! Overall, I’m glad I bought this set!

The best of fox searchlight. Films are all great!

Nice collection of good movies.

Last in series

Excellent collection in a beautiful presentstion.

great value for the price

Great price for all these wonderful movies.They somehow left out Wes Anderson though :b

Great to have all of these movies together.

Simply a great collection for the price. So many great movies and some of them award winners. If you're like me who is upgrading your DVDs to Blu-ray, this is great way to do so. Also this collection saves space in the library.Packaging is good but not great. I purchased it for about $70 which is great price per movie even though I have some movies already in my collection.

pas tous en francais

These films... Delightful.... Delightful I say!!

Great collection of movies.

great!

A+++
