Casino / Carlito's Way Double Feature

2 Undersung Gangster Films In One Set.
Like the previous reviewer I was nervous when I opened this set after purchasing it. If it was a flip disc I would be annoyed. My all-time favorite movie Goodfellas I own on flip disc and it's annoying having to get up and turn the DVD over at the midway point.

Luckily there was a separate disc for each film and some special features with each.

I purchased the set when I want into my local Barnes and Noble looking for Carlito's Way. They had the subpar direct to video sequel. But not the 1993 original.

Each movie is on a single-sided DVD. The top of each disc is black with the title in silver.

Both movies have been released multiple times on DVD, and judging by the Amazon reviews, some versions are better than others. I can't tell which versions these are, but I've watched both DVDs and they look beautiful. Vibrant colors, clear picture and clear sound. Fully animated title menus with music. Both movies are in widescreen (anamorphic 2.35:1) and are complete (both have the correct running times--3 hours for Casino, 2 1/2 hours for Carlito) Also, even though this set was released in October 2012, the copyright date on both discs is 2009. I don't...
