Default Re: 'transitive verb + among the most ...noun'

They're acceptable to me, though the first doesn't trip off the tongue. With among and most and pair, there are too many elements for it to work very well. I can see what the writier means, but you could argue that he is referring only to films that came as pairs, so rephrasing it would iron the bumps out.
