Cinema Classics Vs. Studio Classics
The Cinema Classics Collection is a successor to the earlier Fox series Studio Classics. Some films that were released as Studio Classics have subsequently been re-released as Cinema Classics. Some of the differences between the two series are:
- All Studio Classic titles consist of a single disc, while many Cinema Classic titles are 2-disc sets or boxed DVD sets featuring individual film actors or series. Sometimes the films in the sets are available for sale separately, and sometimes they are not.
- Studio Classics are numbered on their spines; Cinema Classics are not.
- Single-disc Cinema Classic DVDs come packaged not only with a standard DVD keepcase, but are also enclosed inside a decorative cardstock slipcover.

Famous quotes containing the words cinema, classics and/or studio:
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
“For what are the classics but the noblest thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The studio has become the crucible where human genius at the apogee of its development brings back to question not only that which is, but creates anew a fantastic and conventional nature which our weak minds, impotent to harmonize it with existing things, adopt by preference, because the miserable work is our own.”
—Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863)
