CC40 Special Features

As for bonus features, you’ll get to enjoy alternate soundtracks, audio commentaries, documentaries, interviews with cast and crew, deleted scenes, TV ads, and more. The 216-page book is also a nice addition to the bundle, giving you a way to learn more about your favorite films while away from the screen.

It’s hard to predict whether preorders for this collection will sell out. The Criterion Collection is well-respected in the physical media collector space. There are plenty of Blu-ray enthusiasts who specifically collect Criterion’s releases. That said, it’s a very expensive Blu-ray collection–even though you’re actually getting a pretty solid per-film deal.
