31. Body Double: Special Edition (1984)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: If I want to watch faux Hitchcock, I think I’ll stick with High Anxiety. Mel Brooks does Hitch better than De Palma; even though he aims for comedy, Brooks creates a more interesting and suspenseful tale. As emulated here, Brian De Palma can’t do anything more than plagiarize the master. He fails to give us anything lively or memorable with the tired reg

32. The Muppet Movie (1979)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: ... I still found The Muppet Movie to provide a generally enjoyable experience. The movie lacks great depth or humor, but it was largely witty and compelling, as the gentle irreverence of the Muppets remains a solid source of entertainment. Created by Jim Henson. Disney, $19.95, 6/5/2001.

33. The Muppet Movie: Kermit's 50th Anniversary Edition (1979)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: Should those folks who own the old DVD “upgrade” to this new one? I’d say yes – if they’re actively dissatisfied with the picture quality. The new one doesn’t look great, but it seems cleaner and more watchable to me. I don’t know if the improvements are worth another $20 retail, though. Created by Jim Henson. Disney, $19.99, 11/29/2005.

34. The Artist [Blu-Ray] (2011)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: Mel Brooks made a silent movie 35 years ago, and he did it better than The Artist. While not devoid of charms, the film relies too much on its basic gimmick and doesn’t bother to develop in other ways sufficient to turn it into anything other than a one-note effort. The Blu-ray provides good picture and audio along with a fluffy set of supplements. Thoug

35. The Elephant Man (1980)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: Given the subject matter and David Lynch’s reputation, one might expect The Elephant Man to present a dark, grotesque experience. Instead, Lynch brings surprising subtlety to the project and makes it a moving investigation of humanity. Starring Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt. Paramount, $9.99, 12/11/2001.

36. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Collector's Edition [Blu-Ray] (1975)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: While I remain unconvinced that One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest deserved the Best Picture award for 1975, it remains a very fine piece of filmmaking. Occasionally it falls into some traps, but it usually stays compelling and provocative, and it also offers consistently excellent acting. The Blu-ray provides average picture quality, fairly good audio and

37. The Simpsons: The Complete Eleventh Season (1999)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: While I agree with fans that Season 11 of The Simpsons doesn’t fly as high as most prior years, I think it’s better than many believe. Sure, it comes with a few moderate clunkers and mediocrities, it still manages to entertain most of the time. The DVD provides the usual good picture and audio as well as a mix of generally interesting extras. Casual fans

38. Blood On The Highway (2008)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: While it boasts a pretty good script, Blood on the Highway suffers from a mix of filmmaking flaws that make it less successful than it could have been. The movie entertains but just can’t wholly overcome its budget-related problems. The DVD gives us mediocre visuals, decent audio and a few supplements. Highway has its moments, but it’s too inconsistent

39. Major League Baseball: All Century Team (1999)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: I like the idea behind the All-Century Team documentary but don’t feel wild about the execution. The show spotlights a list of legendary baseball players and gives us basics about them, but it lacks the depth to really educate us. The DVD comes with unappealing picture quality, average sound, and a small collection of supplements. With a list price under

40. Year One [Blu-Ray] (2009)

Reviewed by Colin Jacobson: One of summer 2009’s biggest busts, I’d like to report that Year One offers a neglected gem. Unfortunately, it wastes a lot of talent and provides precious few laughs. The Blu-ray provides excellent visuals as well as acceptably good audio and supplements. I have no complaints about this release, but the movie itself is an unfunny mess. Starring Jack Bla
