They don’t really make movies like these anymore. Warner’s new Controversial Classics Collection features seven movies from the ’30s, ’50s and ’60s that deal with the kind of social issues 21st-century Hollywood is still largely afraid to touch. Blackboard Jungle (1955), A Face in the Crowd (1957), Fury (1936), Bad Day at Black Rock (1955), Advise and Consent (1962), The Americanization of Emily (1964) and I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (1932) make up the set, meaning you get plenty of racial strife, political corruption, lynch mobs, closeted homosexuality, prison abuse—all in one convenient boxset. It makes you wonder what a similar collection from the future documenting this era would contain: The Passion of the Christ? Fahrenheit 9/11? The Paris Hilton sex tape?

From fury to forgery, we have Orson Welles’s last completed film. His 1976 sleight-of-hand semi-documentary F for Fake has just been issued for the first time on DVD by Criterion. The two-disc set includes several docs, an introduction byWelles’s pal Peter Bogdanovich and commentary by the movie’s director of photography Gary Graver. Should make for some F-ing good viewing. » Mark Slutsky
