This may be the best holiday season yet for DVD. Why, you ask? Because of Star Wars? The Godfather? Well, those certainly make gift giving easier this year, but I'm thinking about all the essential Christmas titles being released on DVD. I've made up lists of the most popular live-action and animated holiday DVDs so you can grab your favorites well before the rush. Looking for something else in this DVD New Releases Delivers? You can e-mail me at dvd-comments@amazon.com. --Doug

Editor's Choice


In December, Disney opens its vaults to showcase some of its most popular and hard-to-find titles. From TV specials to the studio's famous cartoon shorts, the Walt Disney Treasures series comprises four double-disc DVD sets. Find the icon of Disney front and center in Mickey Mouse in Living Color. The original broadcasts from Disney's trendsetting theme park are found in Disneyland USA; the man in the raccoon-skin cap comes alive in Davy Crockett: The Complete Televised Series; and over five hours of Disney's classic musical shorts can be found in Silly Symphonies.

Featured Bargain of the Week


Grosse Pointe Blank/High Fidelity    Icon
John Cusack, Minnie Driver, et al.
What's not to love about John Cusack? Here are the first two (and hopefully not last) films in which he also worked behind the camera, sharing writing and producing credits. In Grosse Pointe Blank, he's the lovable hit man who returns from a decade of mystery to his high school reunion and old flame. In High Fidelity we follow the commitment-phobic, LP-loving Rob Gordon on the rocky road to romance. Both DVDs are released in a two-pack for under $40.
