This is the tenth of a likely 700-odd part
series of capsule notes on various DVDs; all are ones I own or have owned in
the past so I may be able to check on any disagreements. In many cases other editions may be available
(e.g. a separate Fullscreen and Widescreen version). Once I reach the end of
the alphabet, if I'm still alive then, I shall tackle newer additions missed
during the first pass through the alphabet. All DVDs are NTSC Region 1 unless
otherwise noted.
