"Knocked Up: Extended & Unrated: Collector's Edition" (Universal, 2007, two discs, $30.98). The raunchy summer hit comes to DVD in several versions, including R-rated, unrated and two-disc "collector's edition."

Extras: Widescreen, deleted/extended scenes, featurettes, video diaries, bloopers

Foreign film

"Ten Canoes" (Palm, 2006, $24.99). Fascinating, simple fable of the distant past, about aborigines in the primitive Australian outback. Brings to mind Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" without the bombast. Not rated but has nudity and violence.

Extras: Widescren, featurettes, trailer; DVD-Rom applications

Vintage/reissued DVDs

"The Intruder: Special Edition" (Buena Vista, 1962, PG-13, b/w, $19.99). Arguably William Shatner's finest hour — and one of writer/director Roger Corman's — with Shatner as an agitator who riles up a Southern town over desegregation issues.

Extras: Full frame, featurette

"The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid" (Universal, 1972, PG, $14.98). Interesting if unfocused look at the Younger/James gang in the semi-realism style that Westerns adopted in the '70s, with Cliff Robertson dominating as Cole Younger and Robert Duvall stealing the show as a twitchy, evangelical Jesse James.

Extras: Widescreen

"Eat My Dust: Supercharged Edition" (Buena Vista, 1976, $19.99). Silly car-chase stuff from Roger Corman, starring Ron Howard.

Extras: Full frame, featurette, trailer

"Demons" (Anchor Bay, 1985, $14.98).

"Demons 2" (Anchor Bay, 198 , $14.98). Gory Italian horror.

Extras: Widescreen audio commentaries, featurettes, trailers

Straight-to-DVD horror

"Broken" (Dimension, 2006, $19.95)

"Reeker" (Showtime/Paramount, 2005, $24.99)

"Frostbitten" (Genius, 2005, $19.95)
