I wouldn't recommend that version of Malena because it has about 15 minutes cut from the film.

Agreed. The version that is out still makes for a good film, but I would hold out for the chance that an uncut version will come out, or buy a foreign copy.

I've always liked Arachnophobia. Is the DVD any good?

Let's see... hey, From Dusk til Dawn, I've been wanting that one for a while. But isn't it non-anamorphic? Reason to not buy?

Good Morning Vietnam.

Highlander End Game... loved the original movie and the TV series. Is this good?

After a quick look, that's all I think I'd be interested in.

Cop Land - A blind buy for me, I was pleasantly surprised
Tin Men - Always like this one, highly underrated

Both also happen to be decent DVD releases.

This is excellent! These are mostly the Buena Vista(Miramax and others) titles that I guess Disney has been unloading since the Weinstein brothers left the company (I believe).

These titles have been for the longest time available at Overstock for $7.00 apiece plus shipping and handling -- and no one ever came close to those prices -- until now.

Bride and Prejudice is a hoot!! Bollywood treatment of Austen's book.

I'm picking up Bride & Prejudice for one reason and one reason only: Indira Varma. She has a decent role in the film and as usual, is just drop-dead gorgeous.

I picked up a number of these titles in late 2005, when they were $5.99 AND Buy 2 Get 1 Free. Still, a good price on Bride And Prejudice (which I have not seen) and Infernal Affairs (which I have seen and highly recommend, despite the terrible and deceiving cover artwork).

Dead Man is a buy for me at $6. Maybe Infernal Affairs even though they are re-releasing it.

Infernal Affairs only comes with the trilogy box set and I believe it is the same release as the current one in this sale.

It's not the best, but the Producer's Cut on disc 2 is a marked improvement. I'd say it's worth the purchase.

Also a few other recommendations...Below is a great little film and Deep Rising is a lot of fun, although it's non-anamorphic.

Recommendations of some disks that I own:

25th Hour is an excellent movie and an excellent DVD package IMHO. Excellent performance (as usual) by Edward Norton. Notable as one of the first movies to incorporate themes from 9/11 (it was filmed in NYC about six months or so afterwards). A number of bonus features including separate commentaries by director Spike Lee and the author of the novel and screenplay (name escapes me now).

The Three Lives of Thomasina is one of the best of Disney's live action features. It's a kid's movie, but one that can be enjoyed by adults. Patrick McGoohan is very good, all the actors are good, and there's great Scottish scenery and atmosphere. It's sentimental for sure, but for what it is it's very well done. The saturated colors of the DVD look terrific (there's one day-for-night sequence that looks like it isn't timed correctly - much too bright- but that's the only problem I can see). Also, the theme song is the definition of "charming". A couple of nice extras as well (no commentary though).

Switchblade Sisters is a very well made drive-in/"B" movie. Literary-minded director Jack Hill based it loosely on "Othello". This is worth getting just for the Quentin Tarantino/Jack Hill commentary alone. Tarantino is his usual amped-up self, while Hill is 180 degrees the other way, sounding like a very laid back English professor. (Hill kind of sounds like Jim Henson.)
