Martini Movies (Sony/Columbia Pictures)
Martini Movies were a collection of otherwise unrelated films from the Columbia Pictures catalogue. The promotional material describes them as, "Hip and iconic films for the cool film lover. A cinematic cocktail made up of varying measures of hard-boiled attitude, sardonic self-awareness, nostalgic naiveté and campy exaggeration." Each movie was packaged to DVD with a cocktail recipe.
