I wanted to get into the Grimm's fairy tales and I wanted to know what was the best translated collection of their stories?

Grimm's Grimmest for sure, a personal favorite of mine, http://www.amazon.com/GRIMMs-Grimmest/dp/B005MEGS7S

And

Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1607103133/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B009ND5J1U&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0MECRMAREKE0D4NQWC70

Both original and unsanitized.

Those may be the best adaptations of the Grimm brothers' versions of the fairy tales, but they usually drastically ALTERED the original source material. I'd rather see that be adapted into a video anthology rather than the Grimm brothers' altered versions of them.
