Private School (Universal)
Phoebe Cates (née Katz) was once the Jewess teenage ideal for high-schoolers; The Winona Ryder of the early 80s if you will. March 6
Audrey Hepburn DVD Collection (Paramount)
For once they aren’t pawning off all the clunkers — includes Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Roman Holiday and Sabrina. March 6.

Two classics from the vaults: Commissar (1967) is a formerly banned film about Civil War-era anti-Semitism, and Quiet Flows the Don has been called the Soviet Gone With the Wind for those that like easy cultural comparatives. March 6

Will this joke still be funny a year from now? March 6
