Why did I wait so long to purchase this? Okay, I didn't want to pay full price. Had to go on sale sometime. But, man, what I've been missing! Two versions of all 4 films, an extra "bonus features" disc for each film with preproduction, production, and postproduction featurettes, stills, etc. Plus yet an extra bonus disc to cap it off at 9 discs!Man, between this and theThe Ultimate Matrix Collection(that's just as good @ 10 discs), my friends and family may not see me for months! So much good stuff to watch...So happy to finally have this in my hot little hands. Aliens is still my favorite movie, bar none. In the sci-fi genre,The Fifth Elementand theRiddick Trilogyhave come close. But my loyalty will always remain with the first, and the best. Aliens (yes, I know Alien came first, but Aliens was the best-of-breed).
