Not to be outdone by its sister publication TIME Magazine, Entertainment Weekly has published its list of The 10 Best DVDs of 2007. I must say, theirs is much more accessible than the strangeness from TIME.

EW editor-at-large Ken Tucker does the work here. His is an assorted list of TV, classic films, and diamonds in the rough.

  1. Maude: Season 1 - Long-awaited TV on DVD
  2. The Up Series including 28 Up, 35 Up, and 49 Up
  3. Inland Empire - The latest from trippy director David Lynch
  4. Nosferatu (Kino Ultimate Edition) and The Films of Kenneth Anger Vol. 2 - A new take on the 1922 classic and a compilation of an influential filmmaker
  5. Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show - Garry Shandling's ahead-of-its time TV comedy
  6. Crime Wave - In a film noir double feature with Decoy
  7. The Charles Burnett Collection - Forgotten classics from an unheralded auteur
  8. Ace in the Hole - Criterion release of the 1951 drama
  9. Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938, Vol. 1 - Classic animation of the Man of Spinach
  10. My So-Called Life - The complete series of another ahead-of-its-time show

You can read Mr. Ken's dissection on each of these gems from E Dub's web site.

Tucker's feature on EW.com also includes his Five Worst DVDs of 2007. The theme of his "naughty" list seems to be bare-bones new release movie DVDs and hurredly pieced-together classic TV on DVD sets that are simply not worth the effort.
