One of the most consistent trilogies of all-time. There really isn’t a weak link out of the three. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of the Blu-ray set and long story short, it’s amazing.

Alien Anthology (Blu-ray | R)

Alien reviews and rankings How would you rank it amongst the best science fiction horror movies of all time?

I’m an Alien virgin. I can’t explain how but I’ve managed to watch pretty much every sci-fi flick from the era, but haven’t watched an Alien movie. I’ve even willingly watched the Jack Palance crapfest The Shape of Things to Come twice instead of watching Alien. I will be remedying this very soon, as this set is absolutely loaded. Can’t wait for my pre-order to come in.

Yes, it’s real. I was going to group this with all the other DTV movies below but it deserves to be highlighted. Watch the trailer below as “History repeats itself:”

You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger mythology nut than me, so catching this (on a easy to see 2D Blu-ray) is a major priority. If you also dig on mythology and flicks, the book “The Ancient World in the Cinema” by an old professor of mine is a great read.

Repo Men

How does it stand up against the Best Movies of all time?

Flickchart Ranking: #6699

It’s Repo! The Genetic Opera but without the opera. Despite my massive love for musicals, I personally was not a fan of that flick but completely understand why 14 year old girls like it. This one looks like it’s much more “serious” and more of a straightforward action flick.

Operation: Endgame

How does it stand up against the Best Movies of all time?

Flickchart Ranking: #12462
Times Ranked: 1
Win Percentage: 100%

Rob Corddry and Zach Galifianakis in a spy-thriller? That’s just crazy enough to work. The movie has an incredible ensemble cast and looks, to me at least, to be a fun way to kill a couple hours. Check out this clip for some proof of the funny.

Batman: Under the Red Hood

Animated superhero movies are the best. There’s nothing better to throw on one monitor, while I get some work done on the other. The only conceivable reason I would ever want kids is so I could buy movies like this without getting dirty looks when I get to be in my 40′s.

IP Man

How does it stand up against the Best Movies of all time?

The story of a very successful, real-life martial arts teacher. The man taught Bruce Lee everything he knew, so hopefully there’s an interesting movie in there somewhere. Flickcharters seem to be responding to it very positively so far, so I’m guessing it’s worth a look.

The Art of the Steal

How does it stand up against the Best Movies of all time?

Flickchart Ranking: #11835
Times Ranked: 33
Win Percentage: 37.78%

Documentary about the struggle to control a $25 billion private art collection. The collection was started by a dude who made his money creating a treatment for a sexually transmitted disease in the 1800′s. Flickchart rankings aren’t great right now but it looks interesting.
