Bridget Jones's Diary led a year when the DVD library deepened fast. Shrek and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon carried the new releases, but the pattern is collectors filling gaps: The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars: Episode I, the Terminator and Mummy box sets, and catalogue staples like Goodfellas, Heat and The Shawshank Redemption all chart. TV box sets surge, with three separate Buffy seasons plus Fawlty Towers and The Sopranos. The surprises are the heritage titles selling like new: Lawrence of Arabia, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Snow White's limited collector's set. A year shaped by a maturing format that buyers treated as much as an archive as a store of recent hits.
