John Cassavetes has been called a genius, a visionary, and the father of independent film. But all this rhetoric threatens to obscure the humanism and generosity of his art. The five films included here represent his self-financed works made outside the studio system of Hollywood, on which he was afforded complete control. While about beatniks, hippies, businessmen, actors, housewives, strippers, club owners, gangsters, and children, all of them are beautiful, emotional testaments to compassion. Cassavetes has often been called an actor's director, but this body of work-even greater than the sum of its extraordinarily significant parts-reveals him to be an audience's director. We are proud to present stunning new transfers of "Shadows," "Faces," "A Woman Under The Influence," "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie," and "Opening Night." Criterion's eight-disc box set also featuring a wide range of supplemental materials, including new video interviews with key Cassavetes collaborators Gena Rowlands, Ben Gazzara, Peter Falk, Seymour Cassel, Leila Goldoni, Lynn Carlin, and Al Ruban; a 17-minute alternate opening to Faces; a 108-minute re-edit of The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, never before presented on home video; audio commentary on "A Woman Under the Influence" by sound recordist and composer Bo Harwood and camera operator Mike Ferris; multiple stills galleries; a booklet featuring new essays on Cassavetes and the films; and more.

Collection includes "Saturday Night Fever," "Grease," "Flashdance," "Footloose" and "Urban Cowboy." "Saturday Night Fever" - John Travolta gives a sensual and intelligent performance as a local disco kingpin at the peak of his popularity. Once a week, after six full days of work in a Brooklyn paint store, Tony (Travolta) douses himself with Brut cologne, dons a floral bodyshirt, gabardine pants and platform shoes - and ritualistically prepares himself for "Saturday Night Fever." Through the influence of Stephanie - his more sophisticated dance partner - and Tony's brother - a disillusioned priest - Tony begins to question the way he views life and the narrowness of his perspective. The disco dance sequences and the Bee Gee's music make the film an accurate and absorbing barometer for the seventies' generation. "Grease" - "Grease" is definitely the word! John Travolta became the world's box-office king with his unforgettable performance as Danny Zuko in this film version of the smash hit Broadway musical about the fabulous '50s. Olivia Newton-John rocketed to stardom in her American film debut as the adorable and sexy Sandy who's determined to win Zuko's heart. The supporting cast boasts incredible performances from Jeff Conaway, Stockard Channing, Frankie Avalon, Sid Caesar, Eve Arden and countless others! Flashdance" - The visual and musical box-office smash "Flashdance" is the exhilarating story of Alex Owens (Jennifer Beals), a fiercely determined and beautiful 18-year-old woman, who works as a welder by day and dancer at a local bar at night. The film sparkles with the music of the '80s including the No.1 hit song sung by Irene Cara ("Flashdance-What A Feeling") and "Maniac" sung by Michael Sembello. We follow Alex's struggle to gain independence, find love, and realize her dream-to dance at the Pittsburgh Conservatory of Dance.
