Quadrophenia
(Criterion, $30)
The 1979 film born from a concept album by the Who “finally receives a worthy reintroduction” with this Criterion package, said The Austin Chronicle. Director Franc Roddam provides “joyous commentary” about his tale of early-’60s mods and rockers, and the film gets a new digital transfer.

Mad Monster Party
(Lionsgate, $10)
“Kids of the 1960s and 1970s” still love the stop-motion animation specials produced by the folks who created Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, said NBCNews.com. This 1967 show ranks as “a classic,” featuring a script by ex-Mad magazine writers and the voices of Boris Karloff and Phyllis Diller.
