The Stunt Man
(Severin, $25)
Fans of this “sensationally original” 1980 film finally get to replace a “not-so-hot” early DVD, said The Wall Street Journal. Steve Railsback stars as a fugitive turned stunt man on a movie set where reality and illusion collide. “The main attraction,” though, is co-star Peter O’Toole.

(20th Century Fox, $30)
For a movie loaded with “ear-scorching profanity,” booze, and drugs, this 2010 comedy has a “fundamentally decent” heart, said The Philadelphia Inquirer. Credit star Ed Helms, who’s “touching” as a small-town salesman trying to avoid temptation at an annual business convention.
