- Winged Migration ( Special Edition )
-
- Jacques Perrin
- "Witness as five film crews follow a rich variety of bird migrations through 40 countries and each of the seven continents. With teams totalling more than 450 people, 17 pilots and 14 cinematographers used planes, gliders, helicopters and balloons to fly alongside, above, below and in front of their subjects. The result is a film of staggering beauty that Entertainment Weekly hailed as 'Mesmerizing!' and the Los Angeles Times applauded as 'Breathtaking! As lofty as it is exhilerating!' Open your eyes to the wonders of the natural world as you fly along with the world's most gorgeous birds through areas as remote as the Arctic and the Amazon and as populated as Paris and New York City. See Why USA Today found it to be 'one of the most beautiful films to come out this year!"

- The White Diamond
-
- Werner Herzog
- "Acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog follows enigmatic airship engineer Dr. Graham Dorrington as he embarks on a trip in the heart of Guyana to test his new helium-filled invention above the rainforest. Dubbed the 'white diamond' on account of its unique teardrop shape, the expedition begins with some early mishaps but is soon airborne high above the treetops. With every success though, Dorrington is haunted by a similar expedition twelve years ago that killed his friend as they were testing an airship much like the 'white diamond.' Herzog magnificently captures Dorrington's struggles to atone for what he calls 'a stupid, meaningless accident' while at the same time presenting stunning never-before-seen images of the true beauty of nature."

- "MicroCosmos captures the fun and adventure of a spectacular hidden universe revealed in a breathtaking, close-up view unlike anything you've ever seen! Your family will marvel at a pair of stag beetles deuling like titans amid the thunderous clashing of their horns. The kids will stare bug-eyed as a magnificent army of worker ants race to stock their larder...while trying to avoid becoming some feisty pheasant's dinner. And you'll have a front-row seat to witness an amazing transorfmation from caterpillar to butterfly, the remarkable birth of a mosquito, and several other minute miracles of life. With its tiny cast of thousands, MicroCosmos leaves no doubt that 'Mother Nature remains the greatest special effects wizard of all!"

- March of the Penguins (Widescreen Edition)
-
- Luc Jacquet
- "Ecery year, thousands of emperor penguins make an astonishing journey to breed their young. They are birds, but they do not fly. They are aquatic animals, but this time they will not swim. Instead, they walk--marching day and night in single file 70 miles into the darkest, driest and coldest continent on Earth.
Narrated by Morgan Freeman, March of the Penguins is an amazing, awe-inspiring, all-ages, true-life tale touched with humor and alive with thrills. Breathtaking photography captures the transcendent beauty and staggering you-are-there drama of devoted parent penguins who, in the face of the fierce polar winter, take turns guarding their egg and trekking to the ocean in search of food. Predators hunt them, storms lash them. But the safety of their adorable, fuzzy chicks makes it all worthwhile. So follow the leader...to adventure!" -
