New DVDs, Blu-rays and Netflix Streaming Movies: January 11, 2011
11 Jan2011

As of today’s post (my 100th on Flickchart!), I’ve now been using Flickchart for 555 days, watched 756 movies (I keep a movie diary), ranked 1900 movies 50000 times and generally had a swell time. If there was a Flickchart for websites, I’d click on Flickchart’s “poster” every time.
Rank the week of January 11th’s Blu-ray and DVD new releases against the best movies ever made:
The Social Network (DVD and Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)
 |
Rank it amongst the best biopics of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #27
|
The Story of Facebook’s origins is brilliant director David Fincher’s latest. It’s ranked number two on Flickchart’s list of the best movies of 2010.
Piranha 3D (DVD and 2D/3D Blu-ray | R | 2010)
 |
Rank it amongst the best horror comedy movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #2563
|
Killer fish, gore and copious nudity. If you’re into that type of thing (and really, who isn’t?), Piranha should go over very well with you.
Louis C.K.: Hilarious (DVD | NR | 2010)
 |
Rank it amongst the best concert movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #5172
|
Louis C.K. is without a doubt the best comedian working right now. His stand-up is brilliant, his new TV show is brilliant and his first directorial effort, Pootie Tang, is brilliant.
Alpha and Omega (Blu-ray and DVD | PG | 2010)
 |
Rank it amongst the best animated movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #13911
|
Featuring the vocal talents of: Justin Long, Hayden Panettiere, Dennis Hopper and Danny Glover.
DTV and Misc DVD releases:
- My One and Only (2009) – Renee Zellweger, Kevin Bacon
- Love Hurts (2009) – Carrie-Anne Moss, Jenna Elfman
- Magic Man (2010) – Billy Zane, Robert Davi
- The Freebie (2010) – Dax Shepard, Katie Aselton
Classics and Re-Releases on DVD and Blu-ray:
Robinson Crusoe on Mars (Criterion Blu-ray | NR | 1964)
 |
Rank it amongst the best science fiction movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #5004
|
My favorite movie out of all of this week’s releases. It’s an amazing technicolor sci-fi flick from the 60s. It’s a very cool take on the story, features some surprisingly plausible science and even has Adam West (Batman!) in it. Criterion doesn’t venture into Sci-fi too much, so that should tell you how much this flick is worth a watch.
The only downside, it’s just an HD port of the Criterion’s previous DVD release. There are some great extras on it but there’s nothing “new”.
Raging Bull (Blu-ray | R | 1980)
 |
Rank it amongst the best sports movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #91
|
Martin Scorsese-directed boxing movie starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. A classic.
Once Upon a Time in America (Blu-ray | R | 1984)
 |
Rank it amongst the best gangster movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #395
|
Sergio Leone-directed crime movie starring Robert De Niro, Burt Young and Joe Pesci. Another classic.
A Long Ride from Hell (DVD | R | 1968)
 |
Rank it amongst the best western movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: Just Added
|
I haven’t seen it but there’s no way a spaghetti western starring the great Steve Reeves (the best actor to portray Hercules ever) could be anything but amazing.
Army of Shadows (Criterion Blu-ray | NR | 1969)
 |
Rank it amongst the best war movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #2824
|
Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, Army of Shadows is one of the most pwerful movies you’ll ever see. It’s also one of Roger Ebert’s “Great Movies.”
Dances with Wolves (Blu-ray | PG-13 | 1990)
 |
Rank it amongst the best revisionist western movies of all time.
Flickchart Ranking: #832
|
Kevin Costner’s Directorial Masterpiece. Highly recommended.
