We start with an offer you can’t refuse:

The Godfather Trilogy — The Coppola Restoration, The Godfather (*****), The Godfather, Part II *****, The Godfather, Part III ***. Coming Tuesday to DVD and Blu-Ray.

Director Francis Ford Coppola has worked with Paramount Pictures to restore and remaster these invaluable masterpieces of American cinema. Coppola took more than a year and used the latest digital technology to examine every celluloid frame of his films for this restoration, which also includes a remastered Godfather III.

The Godfather films need no introduction, explanation, or summary. A warning, however, from someone who knows: watching even the first few seconds of The Godfather can cause a severe nine hour addiction.

The collection offers the three films, with original Coppola commentary, on the first three discs. Paramount goes further, however, and commits a brave and honorable act.

That is, the last two discs hold all the bonus materials, which are then honestly broken down, and labeled as such, as materials that have been previously available and those which are new.

Too many collections try to pawn off old materials as fresh, and it is refreshing to see such honesty here.

Disc four includes the three hours of supplements from 2001, including the nine-part, 73 minute, “Behind the Scenes” segment. Plus, 34 additional scenes from the trilogy, and a six-part look at the individuals most closely involved in the trilogy. And: looks at the film’s music and a helpful Corleone family tree.

Disc five holds about an hour and a half of new materials, including the 30 minute “The Masterpiece That Almost Wasn’t,” which examines the tortured path The Godfather took before its realization. Also: the 14 minute “… when the shooting stopped,” and the 11 minute “Godfather World.”

The three films are now available individually ($19.99), or in a five-DVD collection ($72.99), or four-disc Blu-ray collection ($119.99).

The Godfather Rated R, 177 minutes.

The Godfather, Part II, Rated R, 202 minutes.

The Godfather, Part III, Rated R, 170 minutes.

Iron Man (***)  Who knew that the first blockbuster of the summer would end up being one of the best — and the most fun? Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of flamboyant industrialist Tony Stark Jr. deserves much of the credit. While in captivity in Afghanistan, Stark invents his iron-suit, returns to the U.S. and works on his new creation.

But, to the disgust of Stark Co. lackey Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges), Stark simultaneously plans to nullify his family’s munitions company. Before long these once-friendly collaborators become adversaries. Jon Favreau (Made, Elf) directs, translating the script from four writers who emphasize the comic book elements.

He mostly takes up time with background, on Stark and on the creation of the Iron Man, until erratically providing a second half stream of explosions and computer generated sequences.

Rated PG-13, 126 minutes. Fans of both movie and of the comic book should appreciate the double discs that contain related featurettes on just about everything.

The seven-part “I Am Iron Man” runs about two hours, covering the making, the casting, the crew, and more. The 50-minute “The Invisible Iron Man” offers more of the same, and the 27-minute “Wired” solely examines the special effects. And do not miss the brief spoof from The Onion on the film’s trailer.

Larry Flynt: The Right to Be Left Alone (***) Love him or hate him, Larry Flynt has made a difference. The self-proclaimed pornographer has always been a staunch champion of the First Amendment, but his advocacy has often come through outrageous, and offensive, tactics.

That same flair for the off-putting, however, helps make this documentary by Joan Brooker-Marks so beguiling. She documents Flynt’s many battles, his Supreme Court triumphs, and his endless crusade for what he says every democracy should afford its citizens: the right to be left alone.

Not Rated, 74 minutes. The DVD holds commentary by Brooker-Marks, about 12 extra minutes of interview footage with Flynt, as well as 15 minutes of a Flynt deposition.

Re-Cycle (***1/2) Throughout the early parts of this horror film by the celebrated Thai team, the Pang brothers (Bangkok Dangerous, The Eye), it seems that the title might refer to the reuse of hackneyed horror clichés.

But once its novel story kicks in, the Pangs deliver a knockout film, fleshed out by creative CGI monsters and imaginative settings. When she is forced to visit an illusionary graveyard, a young novelist (Lee Sinjee) discovers that when she abandons her literary human creations, they go to live in another dimension.

Rated R, 109 minutes. The DVD holds a 16-minute “making of” featurette, nine minutes of deleted scenes, and before and after comparisons of selected CGI scenes.

And for young ones:

High School Musical 2: Deluxe Dance Edition — The equally popular follow-up to the earlier Disney hit comes on two discs to allow for the five hours plus of bonus materials. In addition to the second musical and a peak at the upcoming High School Musical 3, this edition offers many new featurettes, including a “making of” segment on the music scenes, dance-along routines, profiles of the cast, music videos, and more.

Rated G, 111 minutes.

Schoolhouse Rock — the Election Collection From 1973 to 1986, this multiple Emmy award winning animated series ran Saturday mornings on ABC TV. Now, Disney has assembled a collection of the three-minute shorts with an election theme.

Not rated, 49 minutes.
