Arguably the Coen brothers’ movie with the biggest heart, mainly in the shape of Frances McDormand’s heavily pregnant police chief.

David Fincher’s modern classic is a film that can be something new every time you watch it. The DVD is so packed that it’ll take you several days to get through everything.

Thanks to an excellent DVD transfer and a host of compelling extras, Ridley Scott’s swords and sandals epic became one of the first releases to really show off the capabilities of the format.

Director Guy Hamilton’s quintessential adventure may not be the first cinematic outing for Ian Fleming’s suave super-spy but it’s certainly the most influential.

An extraordinary tale of real-life wise guys and their violent grasping for the American dream is treated to a fine digital transfer and complemented by a host of great special features.

The DVD is understandably focused on the music and the moves, plus amusing oddities like a guide to the hairstyles of the period.

The film, which plays by the key terror rules of not humanising your villain, nor over-exposing him, retains its power.

For sheer cinematic spectacle alone, Pixar really outdid themselves with this super-powered flick.

It’s something of a tribute to the sheer primal terror conveyed by Steven Spielberg’s shark classic that an entire generation of movie-lovers became forever fearful of stepping foot in to the open sea

The DVD editions of Peter Jackson’s King Kong are enormous, incredibly attentive to detail and well worth owning, but it’s the US disc for the original King Kong that is absolutely essential.

David Lean’s sweeping portrait of the idiosyncratic English cartographer turned desert warrior and his escapades in Arabia is without doubt a legendary piece of cinema.

All three films are bumped up to even longer running times and everyone on the production contributes to the glut of commentaries and featurettes.

The 2-disc edition has a comprehensive and illuminating (script read-through to film promotion) 75-minute ‘making of’ compensating for the lack of a director’s commentary.
