A few months back, I discovered the DVD director's cut of A Streetcar Named Desire. In fact on April 25th, I mentioned it right here. I was genuinely impressed.
I'm not alone in my respect for that movie. The film is #45 on the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time which was compiled in 1998. Thanks to the proliferation of DVD's, you might be able to go pick it up at your video store today. I'd recommend it.
