Where is the slash coming in? I see no slash on the cover. I (and others) recently voted no to such addition of a slash that wasn't on the cover. Using a "slash" for double/triple features has been a DVDP convention for years. I really don't care what you do. These discussions are pointless. I stated what I thought would be the best option that would provide users the most information when searching by title and would be in conformance with the Rules as I read them. As usual, I will do what I wish locally, and lock my profiles, while others constantly re-interpret the Rules and make changes that have stood for a long, long time. | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't see what difference it makes that the one I submitted has an edition and these other examples don't.
You are saying it is impossible that they named the collection after the first movie. I am not willing to go so far to say such a thing is impossible. I am going where... what I believe the title of the release is... is taking me. And at this point a huge number of the voters agrees with what I put. | | | | Pete |

This isn't a case of re-interpreting any rule. It is a case of confusion of what the actual title of the set is. | | | | Pete |

In my collection, Dirty Harry is:
Title: Dirty Harry Collection
Edition:
And Karate Kid is:
Title: Karate Kid Collection
Edition
And I would bet you money that The Girls Night In Collection is:
Title: The Girls Night In Collection
Edition:
and not:
Title: The Girls Night In
Edition: Collection
I could get behind:
Title: The Parent Trap 2-Movie Collection
Edition:
But not what's submitted. It's just not logical to me to call the title of the set "The Parent Trap" because it's not The Parent Trap. It's the Parent Trap and The Parent Trap 2.

If this DVD said 'The Parent Trap Collection' on the cover, I could go with that. But using the title 'The Parent Trap' is completely misleading. | | | | Hal |

The difference, as I see it, is you are calling the set "The Parent Trap" where the others don't call their respective collections by one movie title.
The Karate Kid Collection is not called The Karate Kid, and it shouldn't be. The set is not just The Karate Kid, but rather multiple movies. Naming the set as just the first movie is not accurate IMO.

I am going where... what I believe the title of the release is... is taking me. And at this point a huge number of the voters agrees with what I put. I'm not saying it's impossible, either, but I haven't seen a set of multiple films where it's not noted on the cover somewhere that it's a set. The Dirty Harry Collection is: Title: Dirty Harry Collection Edition: and not Title: Dirty Harry Edition: Collection Like I mentioned, I agree with you up to a point, and revised my thoughts because of your examples because they are sound, but you aren't selling me on the title. (Note, I hope none of the above comes across as snide or condescending, as that is definitely not the intent. This is the internet, after all.  ) | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

| | Posted: | | | | But the way I am looking at it... it is noted on the set. They just decided to do so with an edition tag instead of the title. Where I see nothing as impossible I don't question it. Maybe this is the first one we have seen... but that don't mean it isn't what it seems to be. And as I said... a huge majority of the voters seems to think I am right in the matter. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | So, the following titles should actually be: 'Classic Collection Film Noir Double Feature'Act of Violence / Mystery Street Regions 1, 2, 3, 4 Released: 7/31/2007 Full Frame 1.33 Birth of the Blues / Blue Skies Region 1 Released: 5/6/2003 Full Frame 1.33 Beach Blanket Bingo / How To Stuff A Wild Bikini Region 1 Released: 8/24/2004 Anamorphic 2.35 AND 'Double Feature 2-DVD Set'10.5 /Category 7 All Regions Released: 7/29/2008 Widescreen Better get busy fixing all of these as well!  | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | That is a completely different circumstance as none of those has a separate name for the actual collection. they are just double features with editions. In the case of The Parent Trap I truly believe there is a name for the actual DVD Release. Which is where the difference lies. I also have sets like that where I believe it is correct to have the titles in the name as it is the only title for the set... My Blue Heaven / The Man with Two Brains Region 1 Released: 1/31/2006 Full Frame 1.33 Passenger 57 / Boiling Point All Regions Released: 1/31/2006 Full Frame 1.33 Alien Nation / Enemy Mine Region 1 Released: 12/5/2006 Anamorphic 2.35 Teen Wolf / Teen Wolf Too Region 1 Released: 8/27/2002 Anamorphic 1.85 But as I said... a completely different circumstance... as there is no name for the Set itself. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | | That is a distinction without a difference! The titles of the individual movies listed on the cover are included in the DVDP 'Title' field in all instances, UNLESS the word 'Collection' is included on the cover. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | how could you say that? The examples I gave has a title for the entire set. The examples you gave do not. Seems like a pretty big difference to me. Matter of fact seems like a huge difference to me. | | | | Pete |

Yes they have the titles in the title field. That is because in those cases that is the only titles we have to use... once again... there is no title for the actual set like there was for my examples. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | You are dropping the titles of the individual movies listed on the cover of 'Parent Trap' but not on the others. You are the one who is handling them differently. | | | | Hal |
