DVDs to Buy / Three DVDs to Give Your Friend

Here's a movie that takes a new angle on super heroes: no blue tights, no ridiculous powers, no whiny sidekicks-just a man doing a job. This deluxe edition includes numerous documentaries, also a collectible comic with the first Batman story.

THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

An instant classic that deserves a place on the shelf of any DVD collector. Douglas Adams died before he could see the finished film, so it's important that we honor his memory by laughing until soda comes out of our noses. $29.99

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON 1

This one's win-win. For people who love the show, this gift will be a hit. People who haven't seen it will fall in love with it. And on top of that, it's two gifts in one, because the set also includes the original four-hour mini series. $59.98

GHOST IN THE SHELL-STAND ALONE COMQLEX (VOLS. 1-7)

Here's a great discovery for the anime fan who likes the Ghost in the Shell mavios. The TV series is thoughtful, intelligent and action-packed. It's also more fun than the films. $199.86

LOST-THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

Without question, Lost lovers need this set. After all, with the DVD they can re-experience the weirdness in widescreen with digital sound. Deleted scenes (two from the finale) might (or might not) shed more light on the show's mysteries. $59.99
