|
 | Yi Yi - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $21.95 Simple on the surface, but complex inside.
|
 | Dancer in the Dark (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $3.75 I'm not a fan of Von Trier, but this one has so much direct emotion it hurts.
|
 | Gladiator (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.47 Borders on a guilty pleasure because there is much that's ridiculous. But it can sweep you up if you let it and Crowe very nearly brings up to the level of good opera by himself.

|
 | Together

Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $11.44 Despite the tacked-on ending, it's emotional in all the right places. Even to a volleyball.
|
 | O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.27 Hilarious, with some of the best filmmaking and cinematography (thanks Roger Deakins!) of any Coen Brothers film.
|
 | Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.01 Exciting and romantic, and influential for American audiences.
|
 | Blind Shaft
