Overall, it’s a pretty slow week for physical media, but Netflix more than makes up for it. Their new agreement with the premium cable channel EPIX kicks off on September 1st; resulting in things like all the Indiana Jones movies, the Star Trek movies, and Iron Man available to instantly stream to your computer, gaming console, smartphone, and whatever else you may own. For $9 a month and being able to have a DVD out at the same time – it’s a steal, in my opinion.

What’s new to the Blu-ray and DVD Release Schedule This Week?

Harry Brown (DVD & Blu-ray)

How would you rank it amongst the best thrillers of all time? Flickchart Ranking: #5438 Times Ranked: 559 Win Percentage: 66% How Many Top-20′s: 0 Users

Michael Caine in an awesome looking old-man-turns-into-a-vigilante movie.

Red Riding Trilogy (DVD & Blu-ray)

How would you rank it amongst the best crime movies of all time? Flickchart Ranking: #7728 Times Ranked: 167 Win Percentage: 79% How Many Top-20′s: 0 Users

3 movies: In the Year of Our Lord: 1974, In the Year of Our Lord: 1980 and In the Year of Our Lord: 1983. It’s a series of movies following a harrowing British crime across three investigators and nine years. They’re drawing very favorable comparisons to Zodiac. All three are also already available on Netflix’s Instant Streaming service via the link above.

Marmaduke (DVD & Blu-ray)

How would you rank it amongst the best animal movies of all time? Flickchart Ranking: #14254 Times Ranked: 120 Win Percentage: 12% How Many Top-20′s: 0 Users

Owen Wilson in a movie about a big dog. Bonus trivia: Bear Grylls (maybe the greatest man alive right now, even if his show is staged) named one of his kids “Marmaduke.”

Why Did I Get Married Too? (DVD & Blu-ray)

How would you rank it amongst the best comedies of all time? Flickchart Ranking: #14174 Times Ranked: 25 Win Percentage: 45% How Many Top-20′s: 0 Users

Tyler Perry’s latest film. It also has Black Dynamite himself, Michael Jai Whitel.

Classics and Re-releases on DVD and Blu-ray:

The Evil Dead (Blu-ray)

How would you rank it amongst the best horror movies of all time? Flickchart Ranking: #329 Times Ranked: 91764 Win Percentage: 48% How Many Top-20′s: 395 Users, with 18 considering it the best movie of all time

Somehow, this is its first US Blu-ray release. It doesn’t have a great deal too much in the way of new special features with only a new commentary (the special features disc is actually just a DVD), so expect them to try and pry more money from you this time next year as well. Also available on Netflix Instant Streaming via the link above.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (Best Buy-exclusive Blu-ray)

How would you rank it amongst the best comedies of all time? Flickchart Ranking: #111 Times Ranked: 221821 Win Percentage: 48% How Many Top-20′s: 2284 Users
