Kevin Smith fans rejoice! Three of his most entertaining comedies – 'Clerks,' 'Chasing Amy' and 'Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back' -- are joining the Blu-ray revolution with hours of outrageous new bonus features.

The day-in-the-life antics of two convenience store clerks (Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson) and their pals whose attitude gives a whole new meaning to "customer service," the 'Clerks' Blu-ray has a new introduction by Smith and a new featurette, "Oh, What a Lovely Tea Party: The Making of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back," plus original DVD features including classic and 2004 commentary; a lost scene animated short; MTV spots with Jay & Silent Bob; Soul Asylum's "Can't Even Tell" music video; original auditions; outtakes; 10th Anniversary Q&A and more.

'Chasing Amy' stars Ben Affleck as a comic book artist who falls for a lesbian, played by Joey Lauren Adams. The Blu-ray includes the new features "Tracing Amy: The Chasing Amy Doc"; "Was It Something I Said?" -- a conversation with Kevin and Joey; new filmmaker commentary; and a 10th Anniversary Q&A, plus original DVD features: Deleted scenes, outtakes, the film's preview trailer and more.

In 'Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back,' Smith's beloved characters (played by Smith and Jason Mewes) go on a wild and crazy road trip to Hollywood, hoping to cash in on a film adaptation based on their lives. The film features cameos by such stars as Ben Affleck, Will Ferrell, James Van Der Beek and Mark Hamill. The Blu-ray features commentary by Smith, Mewes and producer/editor Scott Mosier.

Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver delighted audiences back in 1999 with their 'Star Trek'/sci-fi spoof 'Galaxy Quest,' and now they're celebrating the film's 10-year-anniversary by making the light-speed leap to Blu-ray! Also starring Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Alan Rickman, Enrico Colantoni and Justin Long, 'Galaxy Quest' follows the convention-bound former stars of a "Star Trek"-like show who are unwittingly tasked to save an alien race who, having watched their show on the airwaves, believe they are the real deal. By Grabthar's Hammer!

The Blu-ray includes a Galactopedia (viewers can access info about characters, ships, aliens and more as the film plays); new interviews with the actors and filmmakers discussing how the film came together and what they think of it today; an exploration of the visual effects created by ILM and Stan Winston; the story of how the mannerisms of the Thermian race evolved; plus deleted scenes and Sigourney rapping. Need we say more?

The first rule of the 'Fight Club' 10th Anniversary Blu-ray is that you don't talk about the 'Fight Club' 10th Anniversary Blu-ray. That being said, the Brad Pitt-Edward Norton cult classic is making the leap to Hi-Def with all-new bonus materials including "Flogging Fight Club" and the interactive features "A Hit in the Ear: Ren Klyce and the Sound Design of Fight Club" (allowing viewers to remix the sound in four key scenes) and "Insomniac Mode: I Am Jack's Search Index" (in which you can access any part of the disc's extensive bonus material via interactive tools). The BD also goes behind-the-scenes with director David Fincher, Pitt and Norton as they accept the Guy Movie Hall of Fame honor for 'Fight Club' at Spike TV's 2009 Guys Choice Awards, and features filmmaker commentary, deleted scenes, a "Welcome To Fight Club" featurette, a music video, art and promotional galleries and much more.

For those not yet in the club, 'Fight Club' is based on the book by acclaimed writer Chuck Palahniuk, chronicling an aimless young professional (Norton) whose dreary existence takes a radical turn when he meets Tyler Durden (Pitt), a free-spirited radical who challenges all aspects of society and encourages those around him to reclaim their true lives with the help of a shocking new form of "therapy."
