Alongside "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Sound of Music," "Singin' in the Rain" is one of only a handful of essential feature musicals. In the wake of several woefully disappointing DVD versions comes this beyond-comprehensive Blu-ray overhaul. With over four hours of bonus material and lots of promo goodies, it is everything any big fan of the movie could ever want. If all you're looking for is just the film, a single disc version is available at about one-quarter of the price.

Special features include:

-- 48-page hardcover book

-- Full-size umbrella

-- Poster reproductions

-- Cast and filmmaker commentaries

-- Two documentaries

-- Making of featurette

-- Outtakes

-- Additional DVD disc

-- Stills Gallery

-- Trailer(Warner Bros., $84.99)
