Harold Lloyd was an early comedic actor loved by audiences and highly respected within the moviemaking industry. Not a natural comic, but a great actor playing comedic parts, Lloyd developed a highly physical style, incorporating the element of fear into many of his scenes to heighten their impact. Before the days of special effects, he made use of perspective and camera tricks in highly innovative ways in order to create the illusion of danger. Many times more prolific than Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd was the highest-paid actor in Hollywood for a time, and helped foster the emerging form of the feature film with such classics as GRANDMA`S BOY and THE SHY GIRL. Volume 2 of the HAROLD LLOYD COLLECTION includes some of the actor`s most-loved shorts, such as HIGH AND DIZZY, THE CITY SLICKER, and TWO GUN GUSSIE, as well as the longer films, NOW OR NEVER and AMONG THOSE PRESENT. Representative of the genius of this often-overlooked silent film star, this selection will not fail to delight and inspire, with its characters that are both humorous and highly moving.

This dramatization of gay Canadian teen Marc Hall's battle against his Catholic school board captures the drama and political implications of the struggle, while remaining lightly comic in its tone. Coming of age in a small Ontario town, Marc (Aaron Ashmore, THE SAFETY OF OBJECTS, MY BROTHER'S KEEPER) is an out young man in a public relationship with Jason (Mac Fyfe); Marc is popular and has escaped the harassment commonly inflicted on homosexual high school students. Consequently, he thinks nothing of bringing Jason as his date to the prom, but the board of his Catholic school feels otherwise. When he decides to fight for his rights, he attracts the attention of the media, and soon Marc finds himself a spokesperson for the national gay community. With the support of the student body, not to mention his audience at home, Marc goes head-to-head with the authorities in this charming, inspiring underdog tale. Ashmore turns in a heartfelt performance, while former KIDS IN THE HALL stars Scott Thompson and Dave Foley round out the cast as a pro bono lawyer and the school principal, respectively. The stellar soundtrack features pop hits from the likes of The New Pornographers, Erasure, and Melanie Doane.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary Featurette - Excerpts From The Documentary On the True Story of Marc Hall Music Video - From the Theme SongInteractive Features: Scene Access

Dave Chapelle is at his raunchy best before an appreciative audience filling the seats of San Francisco`s Fillmore. His ease in the stand-up setting is apparent as he moves fluidly from subject to subject, aided by the colorful language for which he is known. Decidedly not politically correct and packed with shock value, the material covers crackheads, Michael Jackson, and the comedian`s experiences at Disneyland with his kids, among other things. Chappelle here ventures even farther into the realms of the risqui than he does on CHAPPELLE`S SHOW.

Inspired by a true story, GREENFINGERS tells the charming tale of a group of hardened criminals who are sent to a progressive prison in modern-day England. Clive Owen (CROUPIER) stars as Colin Briggs, a strong, silent type who has been locked up for a serious, unidentified crime for which he feels a deep need to do penance--by himself. But when he is delivered to Edgefield Prison and put in a room with old Fergus Wilks (WAKING NED DEVINE's David Kelly), his private life is no more. Fergus forces Colin to attempt to grow violets, and upon hearing of the flowers' success, the warden (Warren Clarke) decides to make Colin a gardener, giving him a staff of murderers and thieves who soon take to the soil like no one ever expected. When horticultural expert and media socialite Georgina Woodhouse (Helen Mirren) finds out about the special gardening project, she takes the men under her wing, especially Colin, who seems to be developing an interest in Georgina's daughter, Primrose (Natasha Little). But the prisoners' dark pasts threaten to overwhelm them as they prepare to participate in the Royal Horticultural Society's Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. In addition to the outstanding acting, the film features classy direction by writer-director Joel Hershman and an inspiring soundtrack, with songs by U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Tears for Fears, among others.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWide Screen - 1.85Full ScreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - English Dolby Digital 2.0 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Theatrical TrailersInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene Selections
