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:
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“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)
“Surely it is one of the requisites of a tasteful garb that the expression of effort to please shall be wanting in it; that the mysteries of the toilet shall not be suggested by it; that the steps to its completion shall be knocked away like the sculptor’s ladder from the statue, and the mental force expended upon it be swept away out of sight like the chips on the studio floor.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
