We get it, you guys love chiseled, shirtless dudes that spend an entire movie whaling on each other. It's OK, so do we. We've watched all of the quality slow-mo violence almost on repeat since it came to DVD. Read our review!


1. Live Free or Die Hard (Unrated)
Not only did they put back all of the cursing they cut to get a PG-13 rating for the theatrical release, but the disc even includes a digital version of the flick that you can load onto your personal media player. Try getting that kind of service from a Chinatown bootleg. Read our review!

2. Wall Street: 20th Anniversary Edition
A lot has changed since we first met Gordon Gekko, but greed is definitely still good. Oh, and according to many of the extras crammed into this two-disc set, Oliver Stone is still completely out of his mind. Read our review!

3. Pan's Labyrinth: New Line Two-Disc Platinum Series
Subtitles can kill a fun theater experience, which is why this movie was perfect on DVD. Once you're done watching the huge pile of extras, you can go back and look at all of the cool monsters you missed when you were reading the dialogue. Read our review!

4. Robocop: 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition
All these 20th anniversary editions are making us feel kind of old, but getting the extended cut of the movie and a whole heap of other extras is worth it. And it's a lot cheaper than the Criterion version, which can cost a robotic arm and leg on eBay. Read our review!

5. Idiocracy
Only a select few got to enjoy Mike Judge's futuristic farce in the theater, but now that it's on DVD you have no excuse not to watch it and quote every line right into the ground. Read our review!

6. Payback: The Director's Cut: Special Collector's Edition
This flick came near the beginning of Mel Gibson's lapse into complete insanity, but the director's cut gets rid of all the changes he made before it went to theaters. The result is the darker and more entertaining movie director Brian Helgeland wanted in the first place. Read our review!

7. Hard-Boiled: Two-Disc Ultimate Edition
Super in-depth commentaries and extensive interviews make this the perfect edition for the serious Asian film buff. But tons of gunplay and more action than a casino on payday make it perfect for any guy with a DVD player. Read our review!

8. Fletch: The "Jane Doe" Edition
It looks like the elusive Fletch prequel may never happen, but even if it does there's little chance it'll live up to the original. The "Jane Doe" edition has plenty of interviews and commentaries that will make you laugh and then wonder why Chevy Chase can't be funny anymore. Read our review!

9. Futurama: Bender's Big Score
Fan boys and nerds alike are still rejoicing about the triumphant return of The Simpsons' geeky little cousin. This original feature-length flick isn't quite as satisfying as a whole new season, but it's definitely a start.

10.  James Bond 007: Ultimate Collector's Set
With 46 discs full of spy action, you'll have to build a secret motorized compartment in your swanky bachelor pad to store the box when it's not in use. Or you could just throw a slipcover on it and use it as the world's most dangerous sofa. Either way, it's a must-have. Read our review!
