Dixie Carter and Delta Burke do a little verbal jousting on "Designing Women".
The sitcom has been a long time coming to DVD considering the show left the air almost 16 years ago.
Annie Potts and Jean Smart round out the quartet of sassy, sexy southern women who run a fledgling interior design business.
It's a four DVD set.
Stories about trying to make a movie in the dead of a Canadian winter are just some of the bonus features on "New in Town".
It's a romantic comedy starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick, Jr.
She's the big city girl from Miami who finds herself falling, sometimes literally, for Connick's small town charmer while she endures a work assignment.
It's rated PG.
The rough and tumble sport of rugby provides the focus for the drama "Forever Strong".
It's based on a real life high school coach, Larry Gelwix, one of
the nation's best.
Gary Cole plays Gelwix.
Sean Faris is the headstrong player he rescues from jail to join his team.
Neal McDonough plays the kid's father, who just happens to be a rival rugby coach.
"Forever Strong" is rated PG-13.
Michael Douglas plays an everyman who unravels during one very bad day in "Falling Down".
It's returning to DVD in a deluxe edition as well as Blu-ray.
Douglas takes action against the increasing frustrations of every day life, but that puts him on a collision course with a cop played by Robert Duvall.
Douglas and director Joel Schumacher provide commentary on this R-rated release.
