"Do The Right Thing" — Spike Lee's powerful and amazing film about race relations and prejudice turns 20 this year. (Wow, has it really been 20 years?) The film takes place on the hottest day of summer on a small neighborhood street in Brooklyn. Through a series of small and seemingly minor events, tensions between the African- American residents and a white, Italian pizzeria owner and his two sons build until both sides are ready to draw blood. This two-disc anniversary set contains not only the digitally remastered film and 5.1 surround-sound audio, but also more than four hours of special features. I'd be happy for four hours of Radio Raheem playing Public Enemy from his mammoth boom box.

"The IT Crowd: The Complete Second Season" — "The IT Crowd" is one of the funniest and most brilliant Britcoms ever made. The show revolves around Moss and Roy, the socially awkward tech-support staff of a large corporation. In the second season, the boys meet a German cannibal, watch the gayest musical ever, design the world's best bra (almost) and wreak havoc at their boss's funeral. The DVDs contain outtakes and commentary tracks.

"Eastbound and Down: The Complete First Season" — Danny McBride scores an unlikely home run with this surprising funny and vulgar HBO series. In it, McBride plays Kenny Powers, a washed-up pro baseball player who, after frittering away his fortune, goes back and teaches PE at his old school. The deluded Powers still thinks he has a shot at a comeback — and at his old high-school sweetheart (Katy Mixon), who also teaches at the school but is engaged to the principal. What makes the show appealing is not only the top-notch supporting cast, but the fact that Powers is so obnoxious and unlikable. And yet, somehow, you keep rooting for the creep.
