The DVD and Blu-ray releases include an alternate ending and deleted scenes, plus commentary with director Walt Becker. There's also a making-of featurette and a handy advice segment titled "How to Get Your Wife to Let You Buy a Motorcycle."

"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters for DVD" is an adaptation of the cult cartoon TV show. The film centers on the strange world of three articles of fast-food -- a shake, a bunch of fries and a wad of meat. What plot there is centers on the trio's participation in a galactic battle over a piece of immortal exercise equipment. The two-disc set packs the theatrical release plus a feature-length alternate movie, plus deleted scenes, commentary with the filmmakers and voice cast, alternate endings and a behind-the-scenes segment.
(DVD set, $29.98)
"David Lynch's Inland Empire" is a three-hour marathon of circuitous, surreal scenes that center on an actress whose movie comeback turns sinister as the adulterous off-camera affair she carries on with her co-star seems to bleed and blur into the film itself. Lynch regular Laura Dern plays the actress. The two-disc set DVD includes 75 minutes of additional scenes.
(DVD set, $29.95)
"Taxi Driver" is Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro's modern classic from 1976. It returns in an elaborate two-disc set packed with extras. De Niro stars as Travis Bickle, a Vietnam vet turned cabbie and all-around nutcase who embarks on an explosive bloodbath to save a child prostitute, played by Jodie Foster, from her sleazy pimp. The DVD extras include comments from Scorsese on the film, tribute remarks to the director by De Niro and other filmmakers, and segments comparing Bickle's New York with the city today.
(DVD set, $24.96)
"Labyrinth," "The Dark Crystal" are two 1980s fantasies from Muppets creator Jim Henson. "Labyrinth" stars David Bowie as a mythical Goblin King who has abducted a boy, forcing his stepsister Jennifer Connelly to brave the fantasy land on a rescue mission. "The Dark Crystal" features a Muppet-like hero on a quest to overthrow a race of evil tyrants. Each movie comes with commentary and interviews with Henson collaborators, along with deleted footage and behind-the-scenes segments.
(DVD sets, $24.96)
