It’s rare I feel the need to post an item announcing the sale of a particular DVD and/or Blu-ray set, but Universal’s 100th Anniversary Collection is a pretty swanky item and Amazon is offering both the DVD and Blu-ray editions at an incredibly marked down rate.
Included are 25 films, though there is one difference between the DVD and Blu-ray editions (CLICK HERE). Included in both sets are the 24 films listed below, but the Blu-ray set includes the Spanish version of Bela Lugosi’s 1931 Dracula while the DVD set includes Schindler’s List, which has since been released on Blu-ray following the initial release of this set:
- Despicable Me
- Mamma Mia! The Movie
- The Bourne Identity
- The Fast and the Furious
- Apollo 13
- Jurassic Park
- Do the Right Thing
- Field of Dreams
- Out of Africa
- Back to the Future
- The Breakfast Club
- Scarface
- E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
- National Lampoon’s Animal House
- Jaws
- The Sting
- American Graffiti
- The Birds
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Spartacus

…and a 15-track CD including the themes from the following films:

- Jurassic Park
- Apollo 13
- The Bourne Identity
All-in-all, the Blu-ray set is marked down $50 to $149.99 and the DVD set is marked down $60 to $119.99. You can [amazon asin=”B008YB935K” text=”click here”] for the [amazon asin=”B008YB935K” text=”Blu-ray”] edition and [amazon asin=”B008YB9346″ text=”click here”] for the [amazon asin=”B008YB9346″ text=”DVD”] edition.
The set is obviously for collectors that don’t tend to buy movies as soon as they are released, but if you happen to own only a couple of these it may be worth picking up and taking the versions you already own to the used DVD/Blu-ray store for some credit.
