Apparently not. It seems the DVD, which came out last July, has nothing
but a trailer or two.

You rang, sir? :)
Of the Connelly films, I have seen only these ones:

And of those, I loved _Dark City_ (so much so that it was my favorite film
of 1998) and I thought the others were so-so at best. Well, okay, I liked
_The Rocketeer_ too, the first time I saw it, but the second time I saw
it, I began to find it a tad dull. And I actually liked _Pollock_, but I
don't even remember her being in that one -- small role, I guess. I
thought _Requiem for a Dream_ was very well made, but the point it was
making was pretty obvious -- to paraphrase the review of it at Salon, it
proved that a movie can be both brilliant and banal at the same time.
