Ten DVDs you should have bought in 2001

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
(12, Columbia TriStar)
Ang Lee re-invents the martial-arts movie and the romantic weepie - if that's not impressive enough, wait until you see the camerawork.

In the Mood for Love
(PG, Tartan)
Wpmg Kar-Wai's Hong Kong-based, visual feast resonates with longing and desire - if it's love you're after, leave Bridget Jones alone.

Sexy Beast
(18, FilmFour)
Jonathan Glazer's Brit gangster debut puts all other contenders back into short trousers. Eight pints of scary, sweary fun.

The Kubrik Collection
(18, Warner)
Lolita, Dr Strangelove, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, etc. How many directors manage more than one landmark film?

The Blue Planet
(E, BBC)
Five years in the making, this series is a single-handed justification for the BBC's continuing existence. David Attenborough's sumptuous, subaquatic documentary is also the perfect cure for a hangover. Spy Kids
(U, Buena Vista)
James Bond with a twist - smart kids, rubbish parents - gadgets, raised eyebrows galore and, natch, a cackling effete villain.

Jazz on a Summer's Day
(E, Charly)
Newport Jazz Festival caught on film in 1958. The crowd's fashions fight with Monk and Armstrong for king-ofcool status.

Oliver Twist
(U, Carlton)
Restored to its original condition, this is blackand-white cinematography at its best.

Audition
(18, Tartan)
True gruesome horror. No one does it better than the Japanese.
