Top Gun A hip heart-pounding combination of action music and incredible aerial photography helped make Top Gun the blockbuster hit of 1986. Top Gun takes a look at the danger and excitement that awaits every pilot at the Navy's prestigious fighter weapons school. Tom Cruise is superb as Maverick Mitchell a daring young fighter who's out to become the best. And Kelly McGillis sizzles as the civilian instructor who teaches Maverick a few things you can't learn in a classroom.
When married architect Flipper (Wesley Snipes) begins an affair with his secretary Angie (Annabella Sciorra), neither anticipate the turmoil their romance unleashes. Drawn together by jungle fever' sexualised racial myths rather than love the couple struggle to reconcile their emotions with the social expectations that foster division between the black and white communities. Set on the streets of New York City in the early 1990s, Spike Lee's (Do the Right Thing) allstar drama is a typically engaging and provocative examination of interracial relationships in the United States. Featuring a stellar supporting cast, including Lee, Anthony Quinn and a multi awardwinning performance by Samuel L Jackson, Jungle Fever is made available on Bluray for the first time in the UK to coincide with the film's 30th anniversary
Signal One Entertainment presents Erik the Viking. Monty Python alumnus Terry Jones' fast-paced, visually lavish comic fantasy starring Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption) as the reluctant marauder. Featuring a wealth of extras, and two cuts of the film. A Viking with a conscience, Erik tires of pillaging and decides to set out on a quest. When the wise Freya informs Erik that a great mythic wolf has eaten the sun, the warrior resolves to venture to Asgard, home of the Norse gods, to set things right. Before Erik can reach Asgard, he and his allies must first find a magical horn that resides in the land of King Arnulf, who, luckily for the hero, has a lovely daughter, Princess Aud. Monty Python's Terry Jones wrote and directed this madcap fantasy (inspired by his own children's book), and the eclectic cast reunites him with fellow Python John Cleese, as well as legends Mickey Rooney and Eartha Kitt. Just as much of the humor of Erik stems from the anachronisms of old Norse mythological figures reacting to adventures with a modern wit, the film of Erik also seems wonderfully out of time -- an anarchic, surreal, wild, 1970s-styled comic adventure arriving at the tail end of the 1980s. Jones continued to experiment with the film after its release, so we are presenting the original international theatrical cut here, along with the new version created by Jones and his son. Brand New Extras: ¢ Original Theatrical Release Cut in HD (103 minutes/99 minutes in PAL) ¢ The Director's Son's Cut in SD (79 minutes) ¢ NEW Commentary Track on the Theatrical Release Cut by Film Historian and Author ( Heavy Metal Movies ) Mike McPadden and Comedy Writer/Producer Aaron Lee ¢ Commentary Track on The Director's Son's Cut by Terry Jones ¢ Original Theatrical Trailer Featurettes: ¢ Original Behind the Scenes ¢ The Evolution of a Director ¢ Casting ¢ Creating the Look ¢ Special Effects ¢ Making Movie Magic in Malta ¢ Jones and Cleese - A Grand Reunion ¢ Raw Interview Footage

Robert Altman's a biting satire on the Hollywood industry, The Player, has always been acknowledged by insiders as too close to the truth for comfort. Opening with a self-referential nine-minute tracking shot around the studio lot where producer Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins) works, the story's intrigue begins with the first of several postcard death threats from a writer he's angered. After accidentally killing the wrong man, Mill moves from one star-studded lunch table to another. All the while he's hounded by the real writer and an obsession with "Ice Queen" artist June Gudmundsdotter (Greta Scacchi) who'd been the deceased's girlfriend. Altman's tradition of improvised dialogue makes each of the dozens of cameos a fascinating treat for movie fans. Blink and you'll miss Angelica Houston, John Cusack, Rod Steiger, or Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts who appear in the hilarious movie-within-a-movie finale. There's an endless list of terrific support from the likes of dry-witted Fred Ward, fly-swatting Lyle Lovett, or tampon-twirling Whoopi Goldberg. Aside from the star-spotting and a script that crackles with sharp dialogue, this also warrants acknowledgement for being the movie to set off an explosion of independent film in the Nineties. On the DVD: there's a commentary track (which leaves the film's soundtrack playing a little too loud) from director Altman who talks at length about the poor state of today's industry, and writer Michael Tolkin who contributes about ten minutes of veiled displeasure about the treatment of a writer's work. There are five grainy deleted scenes featuring lost cameos from Tim Curry, Jeff Daniels, and Patrick Swayze. Then in a 16-minute featurette a lot of the deleted footage is repeated around an interview with Altman. A trailer rounds out the package. --Paul Tonks
