By Jeffrey M. Anderson Peter O'Toole is one of the great scenery-chompers of all time. He's been nominated for seven Oscars but has never won. Richard Rush's The Stunt Man (1980) places O'Toole in the director's seat, playing a mad filmmaker who hides a runaway convict as a stunt man on his movie set. The Stunt Man plays astonishing mind games with perception and paranoia; it's a truly original piece of work. The Stunt Man comes in a limited edition 2-disc set ($34.98) that includes a full-length making-of video, or a regular one-disc set ($19.98). In 2011, a Blu-Ray edition was released.
