Frank Sinatra starred in Man with the Golden Arm in 1956.

He may have died 10 years ago this week (May 14 to be exact), but suddenly Frank Sinatra is everywhere what with the U.S. Postal Service releasing a Sinatra stamp and Warner presenting 22 of his films (he made 58 in his long career) in five new collections, 11 of the titles making their DVD debuts.

The films range from the great — On the Town — to the good — High Society, The Man With the Golden Arm — to the not so hot — The Kissing Bandit, 4 for Texas. There’s early Sinatra — Higher and Higher, in which the bobbysoxer’s idol made his movie debut in 1943 — and late Sinatra — 1965’s None But the Brave about American and Japanese soldiers stranded on a Pacific island during World War II. It’s quite a range of material which showcases Sinatra in various periods and styles, from his fresh-faced eagerness to his Rat Pack days to his jaded seen-it-all days.

Among the Frank Sinatra Collections, which range in price from $40 to $60, you’ll find The Rat Pack Ultimate Collector’s Edition which has the films Ocean’s Eleven, 4 for Texas, Robin and the Seven Hoods, Sergeants 3; The Golden Years, with None But the Brave, The Man With the Golden Arm, Some Came Running, The Tender Trap, Marriage on the Rocks; The Early Years, with Higher and Higher, Double Dynamite, It Happened in Brooklyn, Step Lively, The Kissing Bandit; The Frank Sinatra & Gene Kelly Collection, featuring On the Town, Anchors Aweigh, Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Individual titles (except for Sergeants 3) are $12.97 each.

Not enough Sinatra? Well then Warner also has Sinatra ($19.98), the 1992 TV mini-series starring Phillip Casnoff as Old Blue Eyes which hopscotches through Sinatra’s life, from his boyhood in Hoboken, N.J., to his 1974 return from retirement.

Each film has new bonus features added since the 2003 release. Individual titles are $26.99.
