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:
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Again and again, I struggled though the storm. Once I fainted—and it wasn’t in the script. I was hauled to the studio on a sled, thawed out with hot tea, and then brought back to the blizzard, where the others were waiting. We filmed all day and all night, stopping only to eat standing near a bonfire. We never went inside.... The blizzard never slackened.”
—Lillian Gish (1896–1993)
