Are you a film fan with deep pockets and plenty of bookshelf space? United Artists has a DVD set for you.

The studio turns 90 in 2009 and is celebrating with a huge campaign of tours and promotions, including a humongous 90-film DVD collection that will be released on December 11th and has a suggested retail price of $869.98 (although it's already easy to find for much less).  The collection weighs 30 pounds.

United Artists was founded in 1919 by silent film legends Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin, and pioneering director D.W. Griffith. Today, UA is run by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner. The longtime partners had their own production company within Paramount Pictures until last year, when Cruise was unceremoniously ousted by Paramount owner Sumner Redstone (something about Oprah and a couch). The first release under Cruise and Wagner's auspices is Lions for Lambs, which comes out November 9th.

The massive collection is heavy on quality but oddly curated, with Westerns keeping company with James Bond films – and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Highlights include The Pink Panther, Marty, The Manchurian Candidate, Midnight Cowboy, Raging Bull and Annie Hall. There aren't many losers in the bunch, although most if not all of these films are already available for individual purchase.

In a recent interview, Wagner talked about UA's "brand," something studios aren't really known for anymore: when was the last time you went to a film because it was a Fox or an MGM production? Wagner told Worldscreen.com, "The new United Artists is committed to making a wide range of movies, from big franchise pictures to more personal, story-driven films. If there’s a common denominator, it’s filmmaker-driven projects that reflect the UA legacy...I like to think that we extend enormous creative freedom to the artists with whom we work. This is UA’s historical legacy and it’s what we’re all about today."
