Best DVD of January 2007
Which disc do you feel was the best overall DVD released in January 2007?
Take into consideration the film, audio/video quality, and special features - NOT only the film!

I say Passion of the Christ. Few audio commentaries, one technical, one historical, numerous features on making and historical, and that cool pop op thing during the movie about which scene is located in the Bible.
A close second, would be Criterion's Monsters and Madmen. I haven't got it yet, but from what I reaad and saw it seems like a good collection.

I went with SAW III: Uncut Edition, but specifically to highlight the complete package found in the Target Exclusive edition; it was a neck-and-neck race with SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, but there are still debatable color-balance and muted audio issues (not to mention too much cropping of the frame vs. any prior SotL release) that stop it from being a grand slam...

Hmmmmm I didn't get much this month. I'd say a close race with SNAKES ON A PLANE and The Marine. The Marine's announcement said commentary and since it didn't deliver,I'll go with SOAP!

I voted for Yojimbo & Sanjuro by the way.
