1. | The Third Man (50th Anniversary Edition) - Criterion Collection from Criterion Collection Price: $32.76 Movie Review: This movie is a personal favorite, the DVD version is better than the Laser Disk, and some 22,000 'clean ups' were done on the source material. Quality is very good, Criterion have done an excellent job, there are also many extras, all of which are very interesting. For those of you who like a... |

2. | History of the World -- Part I from Twentieth Century Fox Price: $14.99 Movie Review: When this movie first appeared more than 20 years ago, it temporarily threatened to replace world history courses in schools, colleges, and universities. Of course, that didn't happen. Probably just as well, given the fact that screenwriter, producer, and director Mel Brooks never wrote, produced,... |

3. | Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition) from Warner Home Video Price: $20.24 Movie Review: About 10 years ago, I was near an art theatre in San Francisco that was playing "Citizen Kane". I'd heard it was a great movie, but knew little else about it. Fortunately, I had a few hours to kill, waiting for my then-wife, so I went in to see it. I came out convinced that Welles was, without a... |

4. | Catch-22 from Paramount Home Video Price: $12.29 Movie Review: Catch-22 is probably my all-time favorite novel and favorite movie. I constantly read reviews of the movie version claiming that it doesn't quite reach the level of insanity the novel elevates to and that it is clouded and too literal. I know, there are a lot of things that one just cannot believe... |

5. | A Man for All Seasons from Columbia/Tristar Studios Price: $16.36 Movie Review: One of the finest movies of all time, directed by Fred ( High Noon, From Here to Eternity ) Zinnemann. Among the ensemble of players are Wendy Hiller, Orson Welles, Susanna York, Robert Shaw, Leo Mc Kern and--in one of his earliest roles--a young John Hurt. Truly a cast for all seasons! It's an... |

6. | Touch of Evil (Restored Collector's Edition) from Universal Studios Price: $16.38 Movie Review: TOUCH OF EVIL is a great movie, and it has never looked better than it does on this new DVD release. Famously, this movie was taken away from director and star Orson Welles before he could complete the final edit. This a "restored" version (though how something can be restored to a condition it was... |

7. | Moby Dick from MGM/UA Video Price: $13.01 Movie Review: I watched this movie the other night for the first time since seeing it in a theater in 1956; being 5 years old then, I've never forgotten the experience, and I was apprehensive about whether the movie would live up to my memory of it. It does, largely. The music, in 1950s style, is way overdone and... |

8. | The Vikings from MGM Price: $13.01 Movie Review: Historically, 'The Vikings' is largely nonsensical, from its title sequence misapprhension of the centuries-later Bayeux Tapestry to its hash of the succession to the throne of Northumberland. But this movie is great good fun! - a superior swashbuckler with a sound plot, breathtaking art direction,... |

9. | A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies from Miramax Price: $17.39 Movie Review: For those of us who admire and study one of the true maestros of American movie, this set is priceless! Going through Martin Scorsese's own chronologic recollections of the films, directors, cinematographers etc., that influenced his thinking and sensibilities, one is left with a sense of having been... |

10. | Othello from Image Entertainment Price: $22.49 Movie Review: Considerable controversy has surrounded this 1992 restoration and re-release of Orson Welles' "Othello." First, the movie was wrongly labelled a "lost classic" - not technically true, as Welles aficionados will realize. More seriously, the restoration crew (under the aegis of Welles' daughter,... |
