If you missed its one-night-only showing in April, you owe it to yourself to grab Beer Wars ($20) on DVD. This feature-length independent documentary goes behind the scenes of the U.S. beer industry, revealing the struggles of independent brewers and their battles against the corporate beer giants. Director and producer Anat Baron comes through with one of the most interesting and revealing films of the year. Pour a cold one and chug down some knowledge.

In what might be his last role as "hardcore, bad-ass mofo," Clint Eastwood delivers a subtle, simple story that lets him show off his acting and directing skills equally. Gran Torino ($16 DVD; $25 Blu-ray) is a low-budget gem that merges working-class grump-turd Walt Kowalski with Detroit's Hmong population, and does so in a way that keeps your eyes glued. Though it didn't garner any Oscar nominations like so many of his films do these days, it's worth watching if for nothing else than Ol Dirty's mean squint and the American muscle car eye candy.

In case you missed this season's exploits of Kenny Powers, or just want to add them to your current collection, pick up a copy of Eastbound & Down: The Complete First Season ($20; June 30). Starring Danny McBride as a delusional ex-major leaguer who ends up teaching phys ed at his old high school, Eastbound was one of the best new comedies of the last year. With cameos from Will Ferrell, directing from Adam McKay and David Gordon Green, and inescapable mullet power, it'll have you laughing your way through summer.

Dark, gripping, and raw, Revolutionary Road ($17-$27) was overlooked on many a fanboy's Best of 2008 lists, but was without a doubt one of the better films of the year. Helmed by American Beauty director Sam Mendes and featuring blistering performances from Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, this tale of a 1950s marriage gone cold in the wilderness of suburbia is as relevant now as the Richard Yates novel when it was released in 1961.

Travel back to the days before Eddie Murphy became synonymous with crappy family comedies with Eddie Murphy: Delirious 25th Anniversary Edition ($27). This 70-minute stand-up comedy classic features a 22-year-old Murphy uncensored and uncut, railing on everything from the ice cream man to modern entertainment, and also includes a making of clip featuring Chris Rock, Katt Williams, Cedric the Entertainer, Chris Tucker and others.

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of peace, love, and rock n' roll (and lots and lots of drugs) with the Woodstock 40th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition ($42-$49). Available on DVD and for the first time on Blu-Ray, this 225-minute director's cut chronicles the landmark event, with plenty of footage from the crowd, as well as the legendary musical performances. In addition, it includes a Lucite display with images from the festival, a LIFE Magazine reprint, an iron-on patch, reproductions of festival memorabilia, and a comprehensive featurette on the festival and filming, including interviews from editor Martin Scorsese, director Michael Wadleigh, Woodstock Festival executive producer Michael Lang, and more.

After literally years of waiting, Fanboys ($14) is finally available on DVD. The film tells the tale of a group of old friends — and complete Star Wars addicts — who must make a cross-country road trip, rumbling with Trekkies and getting into plenty of other hijinks in order to infiltrate Skywalker Ranch and steal a rough cut of The Phantom Menace, so their cancer-ridden friend can see it before he dies. Loaded with Star Wars references and cameos, it's a must-watch for any Sith or Jedi.

Whatever your feelings about Tom Cruise's personal life, the man can act, and does so well as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in Valkyrie ($16-$28). Based on real-life events and directed by Bryan Singer, Valkyrie chronicles the failed attempt to assassinate Hitler near the end of World War II. Packing performances from Kenneth Branagh, Terence Stamp, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard, as well, it's a fine war-time suspense flick.

With versions available for Mac OS X and Windows, you'll be able to organize your office no matter if you're a Mac or PC.
