Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here with something for all of you (more specifically, those of you living in or around Chicago) that I've never actually offered up before: Free DVDs.

Sure I give away the occasional movie pass every so often, but I've never actually had a prize giveaway. How exciting! Anyway, to make up for lost time, I'm not just giving away one DVD; I'm giving away 20. Specifically, I'm giving away 20 United Artists titles in honor of the studios 90th anniversary to one lucky Chicago-area winner (sorry non-Chicago types, I didn't make the rules on this one).

So for anyone in the Chicagoland area, all you have do to enter is send your name, address, age, and the answers to the following two questions:

-- What United Artists title starring Dick Van Dyke became a Broadway musical?

-- What actor is referred to as 'The Man With No Name' in the "Dollars" trilogy -- "Fistful of Dollars," "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?"

Pretty simple, right? To win, e-mail the correct answers plus all your information to ua90aicn@hotmail.com. (Don't e-mail me; I've got nothing to do with picking the winner, which will be done at random from the people sending in the correct answers and all the required personal info.)

And what are the DVD titles being given away? Take a gander…

1. The Battle of Britain (Collector's Edition)
2. The Apartment (Collector's Edition)
3. A Bridge Too Far (Collector's Edition, 2 discs)
