Best DVD of February 2007

Which disc do you feel was the best overall DVD released in February2007?

Take into consideration the film, audio/video quality, and special features - NOT only the film!

If it had a superior transfer then maybe, but with the poor picture quality the first 10-15 minutes, no way.

I voted The Departed. My favorite movie of the year and a respectful DVD presentation.

49th Parallel: CC

It may not be on the same level as Michael Powell's later composed films, but it is certainly more than a propaganda film. The extras are excellent. I really enjoyed Powell's autobiography and it is great to have excerpts of the dictations on this dvd.

Honorable Mentions:
The Prestige
I cannot remember the last time I watched a dvd three times in one month.

The Departed
The film was not as effective as Infernal Affairs and most of Monahan's additions were unnecessary, but Scorsese on Scorsese is, without a doubt, one of the best extras of the year.

For the whole package: Tideland

This will be a serious contender for DVD of the year for me.

The Departed. "Scorsese on Scorsese'' is the doc everyone is talking about on this release, but the other extras are quality too.
