 | Wings of Desire (Special Edition)
Buy used from: $18.95 The perfect foreign film: so much headier than most movies and doesn't look or sound like anything made in America. It's also too long and has boring parts, but right when you are falling asleep, Peter Falk pops up, and jars you awake

 | Who Am I This Time?
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $13.44 This was going to be my pick for my favorite flick not on DVD. To my surprise, I found this delightful 56-minute film was released last year. Joy!
