Il mondo perduto: I cortometraggi di Vittorio De Seta 1954-1959 (2008): Lu tempu di li pisci spata (1954), Isole di fuoco (1955), Surfarara (1955), Pasqua in Sicilia (1956), Contadini del mare (1956), Parabola d’oro (1955), Pescherecci (1958), Pastori di Orgosolo (1958), Un giorno in Barbagia (1958), I dimenticati (1959) DVD9

In ten films, Vittorio De Seta caught the gestures, the rites and a bit of the soul of a part of the Italian people. De Seta places man in the center of his cinema and if he magnifies his labour, he never romanticizes it and doesn't hide its rough part. De Seta films as an anthropologist, as the urban educated man he was, discovering an almost middle age part of his country. But what immediately strikes the viewer of his films is their splendid pictorial beauty. Shot in a widescreen format, on a Ferraniacolor film – the Italian rival to Technicolor – with soft colour tones and heavy contrasts, the films of De Seta are astonishing.

The Decline Of Western Civilization Collection (1981, 1988, 1998) 4 x DVD9

As it became harder and harder to track down, Penelope Spheeris' 1981 film on the L.A. punk scene (featuring Germs, Black Flag, X, Circle Jerks, Fear, and more) became a must-see cult documentary. With music rights issues tying up official home video releases for years, Shout!'s surprise box set is an eye-popping upgrade over the VHS rips most fans have seen. It's a captivating chronicle of the early years of one of the last century's most impactful cultural and musical movements, shot from the very center of one its strongest scenes. With first-rate performance footage and brutally candid interview subjects—including a sad moment with the Germs' Darby Crash, who committed suicide before the film's release—it's a documentary no one with an interest in music history should miss.

The box set includes Decline and its two follow-ups. 1988's sequel, Part II: The Metal Years, followed the more mainstream hair and glam metal acts of the era, including Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, KISS, and Aerosmith. 1998's Part III, which looked at the lives of homeless L.A. gutter punks, neatly rounded out the trilogy almost two decades after its first entry. Bonus materials include interview outtakes and commentaries by Spheeris and Dave Grohl.
