Entertainment Weekly: The Must List
(Entertainment Weekly) -- Dancing, romancing, and 8 other things we recommend this week:
1. "The Americanization of Emily" on DVD Julie Andrews and James Garner spar as a prissy Brit and a cowardly Yank in this witty, dark 1964 gem.
2. "NewsRadio" Blessed with a sterling ensemble (Phil Hartman, Andy Dick) and crisp writing, seasons 1 and 2 of this smart sitcom sparkle afresh on tidbit-laden DVDs.
3. "Captain Alatriste" by Arthur Perez-Reverte Introduce yourself to the swashbuckling 17th-century caballero at the heart of this thrilling adventure novel from a cult Spanish author.
EW Review: "Captain Alatriste"
4. "Crying, While Eating" Clips of whining and dining will induce cackles from even the most lachrymose-intolerant (cryingwhileeating.com).
5. "The Woods" by Sleater-Kinney Beneath those grinding riffs lurks an enticing set of well-crafted, classic-rocking nuggets from the veteran fem-punkers.
EW Review: "The Woods"
6. "The Clumsiest People in Europe" by Todd Pruzan Before there was politically correct, there was this collection of children's lessons, written by a 19th-century Englishwoman. A hoot, even if you do feel guilty for laughing.
7. ''Feel Good Inc." by Gorillaz Hip-hop and cartoon pop collide in this addictive single, courtesy of Blur's Damon Albarn and guests De La Soul.
EW Review: Gorillaz
8. Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid The great Scots turn in marvelous performances (one nuanced, one scenery-chewing) that define the moral spectrum of ''Revenge of the Sith.''
EW Review: "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith"
9. "Kings and Queen" Two divorced misrables grapple with failed relationships in a gripping psychological drama from French auteur Arnaud Desplechin.
EW Review: "Kings and Queen"
10. "Mad Hot Ballroom" Inner-city schoolkids get ready to rumba (and fox-trot and merengue) in Marilyn Agrelo's sweetly observant documentary.
