The Iron Man Blu-ray edition (avail. 9/30) packs more punch than a flame-throwing robotic suit. Our favorite extra is the Hall of Armor, which displays 3D schematics of suits and weapons.

Nothing exemplifies California casual like Seavees’ hip Oxfords and slip-on shoes. The premium canvas and leathers are icing on the cake; it’s all about the mid-60s cool colors and style.
