Equilibrium

Rent-it - Though ripped by most critics, this stylish futuristic action drama starring Christian Bale remains one of my favorite underrated films of all time, about a nation where emotion is illegal and designer drugs and governing police make sure the people remain emotionless.

Cats & Dogs

Rent-it - If you have kids your family might enjoy this original story about dogs saving the world from falling under the rule of cats, but it's no Pixar film.

A.I.: Artificial Intelligence

Rent-it - A.I. is the fascinating and heartwarming story of young "boy" searching for a life and love in a world where robotic "clones" live seamlessly with humans.

Red Planet

Skip-it - Admitting that I have watched this over a dozen times on HBO in my lifetime, you should skip this special effect overload with a handful of uninteresting characters with recognizable faces.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Buy-it - This Chinese film is the most gorgeous mix of martial arts and love story you will EVER see. It was the first and only film I own on Superbit DVD and THE film I have been waiting for on Blu-ray.

Audition

Buy-it - This shocker-drama was the second major Japanese horror film that made its way to America (the first being Ringu, the original Japanese version of The Ring) and should be in every horror movie fans collection, if not every movie fan's.

The Big Lebowski

Buy-it - This Coen Brothers' story about The Dude, a lazy-laid-back-LA man and his crazy mixed-up story about extortion, drugs, bowling, and more is worth seeing for just that -- "more" -- so much more.

Armageddon

Rent-it - The special effects arenít nearly as spectacular by today's standards but at the time, Armageddon was mesmerizing, and Bruce Willis turns in a decent performance as the worried father of Liv Tyler and self-sacrificing hero of Earth, plus you'll have Aerosmith stuck in your head for days "... and I don't wanna miss a thing!"

Mimic

Skip-it - Scary movies about giant bugs were cool in the 50s, but this cult classic isn't classic enough for me -- no scary enough.

Good Will Hunting

Buy-it - Matt Damon and Ben Affleck co-scripted and co-star in this powerful drama about a 20-year-old genius on the wrong side of the law and education system. It should have won the 1997 Oscar for Best Picture if it wasn't for the highly overrated Titanic.

Dante's Peak

Wait-for-it - This is one of those guilty pleasure disaster movies where each character's decision annoys the shit out of you but you can't help but continue to scream at the TV every time it's on.

Contact

Skip-it - Aliens successfully contact Jodie Foster's character with a message including plans on how to build a spacecraft that will successfully make the journey from Earth to their alien planet - but unlike most re-mastered sci-fi films, Contact is no real upgrade in 1080p.

Batman & Robin

Skip-it - It's hard to distinguish which of these last two awful Batman films is which - this is the one with Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and the worst Batman of all-time (George Clooney) and everyone's favorite sidekick Robin (Chris O'Donnell) - NOT!  

Absolute Power

Skip-it - Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Ed Harris elevate this otherwise lackluster thriller about a sex murder involving the President of the United States.

The Frighteners

Rent-it - First Michael J. Fox unveils the new Nike Air Mags on Letterman and then his fantastic family horror comedy from director Peter Jackson is released on Blu-ray -- the perfect Halloween film for you and your 14-year old kids.

Trainspotting

Rent-it - If you were ever considering trying hard drugs just pop in this Ewan McGregor film about addiction and the terrifying horrors of drug use.

Sleepers

Buy-it - Kevin Bacon, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, and Brad Pitt star in this film about four boys sent to reform school after accidentally killing someone in a childhood prank and who they've become as adults.

Bio-Dome

Skip-it - Bio-Dome is one of those Pauly Shore films that you can't help but stop an watch when youíre flipping channels but is also that guilty pleasure you should avoid. 

12 Monkeys

Rent-it - If Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis in their prime don't draw you in, the mind-blowing plot twists will.

Braveheart

Buy-it - Back before Mel Gibson was a daily TMZ headline, he was a brilliant action movie star and director, and this was his best work!

Batman Forever

Skip-it - Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey star in this cartoonish, yet live-action version of Batman that is almost the worst ever, if it wasn't for...  Batman & Robin.

Bad Boys

Buy-it - The better of the two comedic-action films starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence is worth owning in HD, and you'll be shocked how much better it is on Blu-ray compared to the over-editted version on TNT.

Apollo 13

Buy-it - You may not remember, but when this was released in theaters, people were in awe of the special effects, the shuttle launch, the view of earth from space, and the weightlessness scenes with Hanks and the rest of the crew, and what goes better with Blu-ray than special effects and space?

Demolition Man

Rent-it - Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes star in this futuristic sci-fi cops-and-robbers action film where cars drive themselves and you have to have wear a helmet when having sex -- if that doesn't interest you this film won't.

Carlito's Way

Rent-it - This film from the early 90s starring Al Pacino and Sean Penn in the prime of their careers has to be one of the most underrated gangster films ever made!
