This week several great movies are coming out, including a few that shouldn't be missed: My Fair Lady: 50th Anniversary Edition [review] - a classic story, great performances, terrific songs, and the film stays extremely faithful to the popular play it was based on; Get Mean [review] - this gloriously unhinged and unrepentantly bizarre Spaghetti Western has been rescued from obscurity by Blue Underground... if you're willing to let the movie take you on a wildly imaginative ride, the film is a hell of a rewarding discovery; and Bloody Knuckles [review] - an unapologetically sleazy exploitation flick but there's a helluva lot more to it than that, with some real love and craftsmanship behind it, a genuinely terrific cast, and, something important to say too. Other reviews of note include: The Human Centipede: The Complete Sequence [review] and Heart of Midnight [review]. Be sure to check out our DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week.

Looking for that perfect film to watch on Halloween while handing out candy to costumed children? So were we, so we turned to the experts in horror film: the participants of DVD Talk's Annual Horror Challenge. These brave souls spend the entire month of October screening horror films. Where does the challenge enter into it? These participants are attempting to watch 100 genre films in just one month. It's safe to say that these guys and gals take their horror seriously. We polled the group to see which films they thought would be the best to watch on October 31st, and here are their top 13 choices. (What, you didn't think we'd just stop at 10, did you?) Check out the list and see if your favorite Halloween film made the cut.
