Happy Together [VHS] $14.98 VHS Tape. A studious college freshman plays the housing lottery with unexpected results when the computer randomly assigns him to Alex–who turns out to be a freewheeling, gorgeous freshwoman.

50 First Dates [VHS] $2.43 With generous amounts of good luck and good timing, 50 First Dates set an all-time box-office record for the opening weekend of a romantic comedy; whether it deserved such a bonanza is another issue altogether.

In telling the story of boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter–who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1967 and spent nearly two decades in jail–Jewison and his screenwriters compress time, combine characters, and rearrange events with a n…

The Spectacular Spider:Man: Season 1 $13.11 The exciting first season of Victor Cook and Greg (Gargoyles) Weisman’s stellar animated Spider-Man series is included, uncut, in this two-disc set.
