I don't own the Producer's DVD yet, but Glengarry Glen Ross is excellent; I thought everybody here probably already bought it. Come to think of it though, someone probably should make a list of recommended recent releases. You and cfraser started it with the Producers & Glengarry Glen Ross, I'll continue it with:

*The Duelists (Ridley Scott, classic Napoleonic period film)
*Lord of the Rings (Extended Fellowship of the Ring)
*Monterey Pop Festival Complete (Criterion)
*Babylon 5 (1st Season, anamorphic WS of excellent SF series)

Also on order & highly anticipated (presumably recommended):

*Die Nibelungen (Restored 5 hr Fritz Lang epic silent of Siegfried & Kremhild's Revenge)
*Mysterious Island (Harryhausen does Verne; neat flick!)
*The Tenant (Polanski, minor classic white knuckle horror flick)

On Pre-order:

*Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 3 (3rd in the series of one of the best guilty pleasure, downright fun TV shows ever produced; will be released shortly after the first of the year)
*Red Dwarf Seasons I & II (Infamous irreverent British SF farce; first 2 seasons will be released in February)

I'll provide a more complete "Audiophilander's Recommended List" along with caveats at a later date! ;^)

Cheers,
