 Courtesy Washington Post writer Jen Chaney breaks down a list of seven exceptional DVD moments from 2007, from Judd Apatow's entertaining commentaries to the thoroughness of Twin Peaks: The Gold Box Edition. Tell us your top picks -- or disappointments -- with this year in home entertainment. Personally, I have to give props to MGM for its massive Stargate: SG-1 complete series box set. If nothing else, it wins hands down for Shiniest Packaging. And for Best Use of Extra Space on a DVD: a shout out to BBC for Doctor Who: The Complete Second Series. Video commentaries (especially "The Girl in the Fireplace," with then-coupled co-stars David Tennant and Sophia Myles) that appear as picture-in-picture frames of the episode, and David Tennant's video diaries (think "The Real World" confessional with an actual engaging person inside). |

Best DVD (movie) is probably the massive overhaul of 'Blade Runner.' No need to pick a version: every single possible cut is here for you.
Best DVD (TV series) is easily 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.' It always struggled to find viewers while on the air. Hopefully some people will discover the awesomeness on DVD.
Biggest disappointment: 'Zodiac.' I gave it a B when I reviewed it in the summer, but that's solely because of the strength of the movie. The disc, sans any extras, is a major bummer. The director's cut will be available Tuesday, but it should have come out instead of the flimsy summer release.
