Saturday Night Live Lost & Found: SNL in the 80s [DVD]
Description:
The 1980s were a strange time for us all, but they were especially chaotic for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. With many of the sketch comedy show's key players gone--including Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Dan Aykyrod--the program struggled to maintain its hold on the late-night landscape. Enduring sweeping cast changes, network interference, and critical lashings, the show fell into a rut that it only overcame with the return of creator Lorne Michaels. LOST & FOUND fondly revisits this embattled period with rare footage, candid interviews with SNL alumni, and classic '80s musical performances that help imbue the flavor of the era.
WWF - The Greatest Wrestling Stars of the '80's (3-Disc Set) [DVD]
In the 1980s, professional wrestling made the leap from regional sporting event to mainstream cultural phenomenon--due, no doubt, to the visionary leadership of World Wrestling Federation chairman Vince McMahon. Though the McMahon family had been involved in wrestling promotion since the 1930s, it was Vince's 1979 launching of the WWF--and its signature Wrestlemania extravaganza--that vaulted pro wrestling into a golden age marked by some of the greatest stars the entertainment-sport has ever seen. This documentary recounts the amazing legacy of the 1980s WWF through archival footage, interviews, and classic matches with 15 of its most legendary superstars, including Junkyard Dog, Sgt. Slaughter, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Jimmy "Super Fly" Snuka, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, and, of course, Hulk Hogan.

The Happy Mondays were a critically lauded group, known for their folk-tinged urban pop, which later gained a strong dance influence. Echo & the Bunnymen had a darker post-punk feel, while the seminal Jesus & Mary Chain were known for their hypnotic, feedback-heavy sound and their chaotic live shows.

When Harry Met Sally... (Decades Collection) [DVD]
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY... tracks a star-crossed pair as they repeatedly drift apart and meet again over a span of 13 years and gradually fall madly, deeply, passionately into friendship, a friendship ever teetering on the edge of love. Harry meets Sally when they share a car ride to New York City upon graduation from the University of Chicago. A few minutes into the trip, the conversation between womanizing, neurotic Harry (Billy Crystal) and driven, equally neurotic Sally (Meg Ryan) becomes heatedly contentious. The question arises: Can a man and a woman be just friends? Harry contends this proposition is impossible, that sex will always come along to screw up the friendship. Sally is aghast and disagrees, proclaiming the idea a distinct possibility. The two part ways rather acrimoniously in New York but before long meet again and eventually decide to indeed be friends. As life's mysterious coincidences pull Harry and Sally closer together, they share mystical, tender moments, confess secrets to each other, console each other, attend major holidays together, and do all the other things couples traditionally do. The question then reemerges: Can Harry and Sally remain mere friends, or will they--must they--fall in love? And can anyone forget Ryan's classic faking-it scene in Katz's Deli?
The Sure Thing (Decades Collection) [DVD]
When free-spirited but juvenile Walter "Gib" Gibson (John Cusack) meets studious, uptight Alison Bradbury (Daphne Zuniga) at an unnamed Ivy League college, sparks fly; unfortunately, they are mostly of the disastrous variety as all of Gib's attempts at courtship fall painfully apart. Inevitably, the duo is tossed together when they both answer the same ad for a ride to California. While Alison is traveling to reunite with her tidy law school boyfriend, Gib is on the road to meet a beautiful girl his best friend promises him is "a sure thing." Before too long, Gib and Alison's bickering inflames the driver, who promptly deposits the two with their suitcases on the side of a lonely highway thousands of miles from their destination. As the misadventures pile up, the initially contentious pair begin to take a liking to one another--but do these two dare fall in love? Rob Reiner's initial attempt at romantic comedy pays subtle homage, with gentle lyricism, to the classic screwballs of early Hollywood. The film is buoyed by the stellar performances of the two leads, Cusack (in one of his first significant roles) and Zuniga, who are reminiscent of the great studio pairings of the past.
