- Strangers on a Train
-
- Alfred Hitchcock
- "Strange thing about this trip. So much occurs in pairs. Tennis star Guy hates his unfaithful wife. Mysterious Bruno hates his father. How perfect for a playful proposal: I'll kill yours, you kill mine. Now look at how Alfred Hitchcock reinforces the duality of human nature. The more you watch, the more you'll see. 'Isn't it a fascinating design? the Master of Suspense often asked.
Actually, it's doubly fascinating. For Hitchcock left behind two versions of Strangers on a Train. The original version is an all-time thriller classic. A recently found longer pre=release British print offers 'a startling amplification of Bruno's flambouyance, his homoerotic attraction to Guy and his psychotic personality.' The laying bare of Bruno's hidden nature, along with the great pieces and suspense as only Hitchcock can deliver, makes for a first-class trip." -

- Homicide Life on the Street - The Complete Seasons 1 & 2
-
- n/a
- "One of the most critically acclaimed shows in history, Homicide: Life on the Street re-invigorated a tired genre by focusing on the grueling work of solving murders instead of an endless succession of blood, crimes, and car-chases. Inspired by David Simon's Edgar Award-winning account of homicide detectives and brought to television by director Barry Levinson and writer Paul Attansio, Homicide boasted a powerhouse cast featuring Ned Beatty, Yaphet Kotto, Richard Belzer, and breakout star Andre Braugher. The critical response was overwhelming: Homicide won multiple Emmy and Writer's Guild of America Awards and is one of just two shows in history to claim three Peabody Awards."

- Mean Streets (Special Edition)
-
- Scorsese, Martin
- "Mean Streets heralded Martin Scorcese's arrival as a new filmmaking force--and marked his first historic teaming with Robert De Niro. It's a story Scorcese lived, a semi-autobiographical tale of the first generation sons and daughters of New York's Little Italy.
Harvey Keitel plays Charlie, working his way up the ranks of a local mob. Amy Robinson is Theresa, the girlfriend his family deems unsuitable because of her epilepsy. And the starmaking role that won Best Supporting Actor Awards from the New York and National Society of Film Critics. De Niro is Johnny Boy, a small-time gambler in big-time debt to the loan sharks. -
