I've been checking HMV daily for more of these and was beginning to wonder if they'd finally done with them... so I'm very happy to see new ones finally appear!

Thanks for posting @lenticularis.

I do hope that HMV continue with this series as there have been some interesting titles released so far. Hopefully they are selling well and more titles will be released as a result.

I don't think I will get any of this latest batch, even though I still haven't seen Streetcar . I do think they are quite good value though; nice slipbox along with a few extras such as cards and/or a booklet . The discs seem to have some good extras as well.

Looking forward to seeing which titles may appear in the next batch, probably in a month's time .

Same cover as the steelbook.
Nice series, though - as they are using all original one sheet poster art
