Extras:

    

(Warner, $26.99) This 20th-anniversary release of Prince's semiautobiographical film showcases the singer at his creative peak. Rain's blistering musical numbers (especially "Let's Go Crazy" and "Purple Rain") remain as dynamic as ever, but Prince's acting, like his puffy-shirt wardrobe, hasn't aged well. Extras: Three lively documentaries about how Prince created Purple's tunes and brought Minneapolis's music scene to the masses.(R)
