MVD Rewind Collection -- New Releases
Bright Lights, Big City
Synopsis: Three decades after this "wildly effective... powerful" (NBC-TV) cautionary tale from director James Bridges (The China Syndrome) and Academy AwardŽ Winning Producer Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa) first wowed moviegoers, it remains as relevant and enthralling as ever.

Co-starring Kiefer Sutherland (24), Phoebe Cates (Gremlins), Two-Time Academy AwardŽ Winner Dianne Wiest (Hannah and Her Sisters, Bullets Over Broadway), Swoosie Kurtz (Overboard) and Kelly Lynch (Road House), and with its pulsating soundtrack from New Order, Depeche Mode and Prince, this "chronicle of wasted days and misplaced nights" (Roger Ebert) is a must-own!

Re: MVD Rewind Collection -- New Releases
Speaking of MVD, there is a 50% off sale on them going on at Family Video. MVD has more or less told me they don't plan discounting their Rewind Collections beyond that level.

Re: MVD Rewind Collection -- New Releases
Didn't take them long to get into the studio catalogs, it seems, even if most of those are lesser titles with what appear to be recycled supplements. Maybe they'll work their way up to some real gems, assuming there's any left?

FYI, only Bright Lights is the Rewind Collection, the others are in their Marquee Collection which aren't the full on "collector's edition" like the Rewind Collection
I've been keeping a list of all the various collection titles on Wikipedia
