This week's top DVD releases include Wolfgang Becker's bittersweet comedy "Goodbye, Lenin!," the conclusion of the bride's revenge odyssey in Quentin Tarantino's stylized "Kill Bill Vol. 2" and Tod Browning's cult classic "Freaks."
1. Good Bye, Lenin!
Comedy and history lesson rolled into one, the biggest hit from Germany since "Run, Lola, Run" is a thoughtful and hilarious film about the effects of Reunification on one East Berlin family. Daniel Brühl stars as the son of an ardent socialist who wakes out of a coma in a changed country.2. Kill Bill: Volume 2
Uma Thurman is back to take care of the baddies she didn't decapitate in the first installment of Quentin Tarantino's hyperstylized tale of revenge. This time, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and David Carradine are on her hit list.3. Freaks
In a gleeful moment in Bertollucci's "The Dreamers," twin cinephiles accept a new member into their group, chanting "One of us! One of us!" - a direct homage to Tod Browning's cult classic "The Freaks." Remastered for release, the film is notorious for featuring real-life circus performers such as the "living torso" Prince Radian, Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, half-bodied Johnny Eck, and "pinheads" Elvira and Jenny Lee Snow.
4. Sada
Based on the same true story that inspired Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses, Nobuhiko Obayashi's erotic thriller follows the life of Sada Abe (played by Hitomi Kuroki), from abused child to prostitute to infamy when she murdered and castrated her lover in 1936. Winner of the International Critics Prize at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival.5. Dying of Laughter
Spanish filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia, whose early films were championed and produced by Pedro Almodovar, tells the story of a hugely successful comedy duo who have scaled the heights of fame and fortune. Only one problem: they hate each other.
