The role that brought Kate Winslet an Oscar arrives on DVD this week
in "The Reader".
She plays a woman who has a brief affair with a young man in World War II Germany.
Years later he sees her again, this time in court, defending herself in a war crimes trial.
Ralph Fiennes also stars in the R-rated drama.
The second season of "Knots Landing" saw Donna Mills join the cast as Abby Cunningham, the female equivalent of J.R. Ewing in the Dallas spin-off.
Larry Hagman makes a guest starring appearance, leaving Texas
to visit the California cul de sac.
There's enough soapy drama to fill a four disc set.
A spunky career woman gets thrown together with a couple of computer geeks in the British comedy "The IT Crowd".
One's a complete nerd, the other's a complete slacker, and the trio is holed up in the dank basement of a giant multi-national corporation.
The first season is collected on a single disc.
