After hearing about it for almost two years, you’ve probably been scratching your arm skin off to get a chance to own This Must Be The Place on DVD. Well, we’ve got good news for you (and bad news about your inability to regrow skin). We’ve giving three (3) DVDs away, and if you want to get your hands on a copy, all you have to do is share this post on Facebook (through the little button in the bottom right hand corner of the post) or go to our Facebook page and sharing the contest post that’s slapped up over there.

Then watch the trailer over and over and over again until we pick three random winners:

The above picture needs a caption, and you need a Blu-ray of Hitchcock. You’ve come to the right place. You and the picture. Because that picture is sentient. All you have to do to win is hit the comments section below and offer up your best caption by Friday (3/8). From there, we’ll choose three (3) random winners to receive a Blu-ray of the Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren-starring film. Good luck to all who enter, and if you want to brush up on your Alfred Hitchcock, we’ve got you covered.

Are you a fan of naked ladies, guns, death, betrayal, and naked ladies? If so, we’ve got the series for you! Femme Fatales aired on Cinemax, so you know it’s naughty, and features fourteen episodes of bad girls doing bad things. Inspired and influenced by pulp stories, graphic novels, and film noir, this sexy girl power awesomeness can be yours – and yours, and yours, and yours, and yours, and yours. That’s right, you can count it again – six lucky readers are taking home, err, having delivered, a copy of the series and potentially much more! Interested? I know you are.

The popular FX show Sons of Anarchy has carved out a name for itself thanks to gripping stories, brutal violence, and a unique sound. The show often features covers of well known tunes performed by The Forest Rangers, a band closely associated with the show. If you’re a fan of the show, or just love good music, let’s hope your lucky because we’ve got Songs of Anarchy Volume 2 available for one fortunate reader. Here are the details:

One of the most popular and powerful documentaries of last year, Lee Hirsch’s Bully is a film about the continuing crisis of bullying, which affects kids nationwide. In our own review, we call it “an intense, heartbreaking movie that every parent and school official should see.” Now it’s also a particularly important topic relevant to discussions of school violence. And it finally arrives on home video this Tuesday (February 12) on the heels of winning the Audience Choice award at the 2013 Cinema Eye Honors and finishing out the year as the fourth highest-grossing doc of 2012. You can go ahead and buy a copy right away, or you can try to win a DVD from Film School Rejects, and we’ll throw in a couple promotional anti-bullying rubber wristbands, on which are printed “IT’S TIME TO TAKE A STAND.” The DVD, from Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Compay, features a bunch of bonus tracks, including six deleted scenes (half of which star the teen subject Alex and then one each for Kelby, Caine and Jake). There are also other videos of Alex updating us on how he’s doing today and his appearance on Good Morning America. Another bonus video stars Meryl Streep talking about the film and the issue. 

A long time ago, there used to be a show on television called Community, and everyone loved it because it was stirringly funny, used the language of culture in order to explore the dimensions of humanity, and because Alison Brie had the whole sexy innocence thing down to a science. Or an art. Or some kind of art-based science. Some claim the show will eventually return, but even if it does, it will do so without creator Dan Harmon. Fortunately for all of us, he’s been touring the country with his friends, trying to find people willing to become citizens of “Harmontown.” He’s bringing that show (along with Marc Maron, Duncan Trussell and Bobcat Goldthwait) back home to Los Angeles, and now you can win a pair of tickets to their Homecoming program at the Egyptian Theater this Monday (2/4). We’ll even personally  introduce you to Harmon and his special guests. So how do you enter the contest?

Update: As it turns out, the box set we’re giving away does actually include 49 Up, so now you get seven installments! This week, in the midst of celebrating the theatrical release of 56 Up (see my review), I heard some unfortunate news. Most of the Up series has recently gone out of print in the U.S. This should only be temporary, but at the moment you can’t buy a copy of First Run’s DVD box set that includes Seven Up!, 7 Plus Seven, 21 Up, 28 Up, 35 Up and 42 Up (nor the one that also includes 49 Up). The only installments available, to get separately, are 42 Up and 49 Up. Of course, you can still currently view all of these documentaries by streaming on Netflix or Amazon. However, any true movie fan (let alone documentary lover) needs to physically own this monumental series, through which filmmaker Michael Apted (taking over from original director Paul Almond) has been following the lives of about a dozen individuals for half a century, since they were 7-years-old. Fortunately, for one of you readers, Film School Rejects has one of the last remaining copies of the seven-film box set (the one that goes up to 49 Up) to give away. And we’re going to have a bit of fun with this drawing by only qualifying those who do the following:

This contest is now closed. Thank you for entering! This week is a banner one for Sir Nicolas Cage (what? he hasn’t been knighted yet? who cares!), as today marks Cage’s birthday and the day before the home video release of his Stolen on DVD and Blu-ray. And you thought your last birthday was special! To mark the release of Stolen (which, in case you didn’t know, re-teams Cage with his Con Air director Simon West for another action thriller that involves Cage having to be badass and clear his name in a plot that also involves fast-moving vehicles), we’re giving away a very special prize pack of Cage-starring Blu-rays. But you’re going to have to work for them. Our Super Special Happy Birthday to You, Nicolas Cage / Stolen Is Out on DVD and Blu-ray Tomorrow Prize Pack includes Blu-rays of the follow titles: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Con Air, Face/Off, Kick-Ass, Moonstruck, and National Treasure. If you’re looking to fill out your Nicolas Cage collection, these are all essential titles. Hell, if you’re looking to fill out your movie collection, these are all essential titles. In order to win this stunning arrangement of some of Cage’s finest works, all you need to do is follow us on Twitter at the Official Film School Rejects Twitter Account (https://twitter.com/rejectnation), take a picture of yourself making your very best Nic Cage face (bees optional, but encouraged – but not really encouraged because, you know, lawsuits), and tweet at us “Hey,

Did you hear that Skyfall passed the one billion dollar mark recently at the international box-office? Yeah, pretty cool. But you know who’s not impressed with James Bond’s latest accomplishment? Archer, Sterling Archer. FX’s infamous secret agent could give a flying screw (a move he patented by the way) about Bond and his movie. Ask Archer for his opinion on any film in the franchise, and he’ll most likely reply “It’s no Gator.” Which is true of course. And to celebrate his complete indifference on the subject we’ve been authorized to give away two copies of Archer‘s third season on DVD. How can you win? Easy… leave a comment below telling us your favorite spy-related movie *that isn’t part of the Bond series.*

This contest is now closed. Thanks for entering! Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln isn’t the only recent film to dive into the life and psyche of a beloved U.S. President, Roger Michell‘s Hyde Park on Hudson is poised to do the same thing when it comes to Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Bill Murray). Except, well, as dear as the 13th Amendment was to old Abe, it certainly wasn’t as, ahem, personal as the slice of life Michell has tackled in his film, as it pertains to FDR. Let’s just say that the president had a very special relationship with his distant cousin (Laura Linney), and that’s just a part of Michell’s new film. To get you pumped for yet another intimate look at a U.S. President, we’re giving away one (1) prize pack from Hyde Park on Hudson to one (that is 1) lucky winner. The prize pack includes: a $25 Visa gift card (seriously, what else do you need? Free money!). To win one (1) prize pack from Roger Michell’s Hyde Park on Hudson, all you have to do is jump down into the comments section and let us know just who your favorite U.S. President is (or was). There will be no special treatment for those of you who try to stack the deck by saying FDR. Be honest! America! Please also provide your email address in your comment. This contest is only open to U.S. residents. The contest will close on Thursday, January 4th, at 8:00PM PST. The winners will be

This contest is now closed. Thanks for entering! Director Gus Van Sant and star (and co-writer!) Matt Damon haven’t worked together since 1997′s star-making Good Will Hunting, but the duo are back together for Promised Land, a new contemporary drama that stars Damon and co-writer John Krasinski as two very different men who descend on a small town when Damon’s big business fracking company attempts to purchase the drilling rights to a town in serious decline. It sounds simple. It’s not. To get you ready for another finely-tuned Van Sant/Damon outing, we’re giving away one (1) prize pack from Promised Land to one (that is 1) lucky winner. The prize pack includes: a $25 Visa gift card, Good Will Hunting on Blu-ray, and “Focus Features’ 10th Anniversary: A Collection of Film Score” soundtrack on CD. To win one (1) prize pack from Gus Van Sant’s Promised Land, all you have to do is jump down into the comments section and let us know just what your favorite Matt Damon film is. Not a Damon fan? (First of all, what?) You can name your favorite John Krasinski film instead. Please also provide your email address in your comment. This contest is only open to U.S. residents. The contest will close on Thursday, January 4th, at 8:00PM PST. The winners will be chosen at random to receive one Promised Land prize pack as described above. After the break, check out the film’s poster and trailer.

This contest is now closed. Thanks for entering! While some of you may have spent the Wednesday before Thanksgiving at your very own high school reunion (as seems to be the tradition, so Zack and Miri Make a Porno remind us), like most things, it’s an experience that seems to go down much more smooth when consumed cinematically, and in the comfort of your own home. So let’s forget our high school years and just watch Anchor Bay’s 10 Years instead! For your movie-going pleasure, we’re giving away one (1) 10 Years prize pack, which includes a DVD of 10 Years, along with Blu-rays of a whole mess of other great Anchor Bay titles: Happythankyoumoreplease, My Week With Marilyn, Paper Heart, Blue Valentine, and Daydream Nation. Yes, that will fill up your home video collection quite nicely. To win one (1) prize pack, all you have to do is jump down into the comments section and let us know the title of your favorite high school-centric film (be it The Breakfast Club or Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Clueless or anything else close to your heart). Please also provide your email address in your comment. This contest is only open to U.S. residents. The contest will close on Friday, December 21st, at 6:00PM PST. The winner will be chosen at random to receive one 10 Years prize pack as described above. After the break, check out a look at the DVD and the film’s official trailer.

The exclusive clip above is from the new documentary, Only the Young, from directors Elizabeth Mims and Jason Tippet. The pair followed teenagers in a small Southern California town around and actually came away with a coming-of-age story hidden amongst the foreclosed homes. Without exaggeration, it looks like it was shot in a wasteland world where only teenagers exist. And we’re giving you a chance to see it for free this weekend at the IFC Center in beautiful New York City. What could be better than that? You get to choose when you want to see it. Here’s how to enter:

We’ll be there for you. When the rain starts to pour. We’ll be there for you. Like we’ve been there before.

To celebrate the friendly bond between website and reader, the harmonious co-existence of author and Internet commenter, and the generally thankful nature of the season, we’re going to give one of our lucky readers the chance to get a full dose of Ross and Rachel, Joey and Chandler, and of course Phoebe and I-don’t-remember-who. You get the idea. Now get the details below.

As we all know, North Korea is parachuting into our towns soon under the leadership of Zombie Kim Jong-Il to take over our land and make us all wear pantsuits. This is a fact, and it cannot be avoided with wishful thinking or petty denial. Fortunately, a few fine patriots have put together an instructional video on how to beat back the oncoming horde. It’s called Red Dawn, and it will be shown for a small fee in movie theaters around the country as we prepare for the invasion, starting next week. Lucky for you, we got a shipment of goodies airlifted to our location, and we’ll be giving away some very cool prize packs (which include some helpful survival tools). How do you win one? It’s easy.
