"Inception" easily topped the competition to be last week's most rented disc, according to Rentrak. But Leonardo DiCaprio and his fellow dream weavers were no match for Bella and Edward Cullen. 

For the second week in a row, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" was the best selling DVD. 

Instead, Christopher Nolan's mind-bending action flick had to settle for second place on the DVD sales chart. 

The week's other big release, "Shrek Forever After" struggled to elbow its way onto the DVD charts. The fourth film in the green ogre franchise managed to snag third place on the sales end, but could only muster up a fifth place finish on the rental charts. 

Still Mike Myers' brogue spewing monster had enough muscle to propel a seasonally appropriate tie-in up the sales charts. "Donkey's Christmas Shrektacular" was able to capture fourth place on the sales list. 

Still holding strong on the rental end of the business -- action comedy "Knight and Day." The Tom Cruise vehicle was the week's second most rented disc for the second consecutive week. However, Cruise love didn't translate into DVD sales as the film fell off the sales chart's a week after hitting shelves. 

Next week brings the release of the Mark Wahlberg and WIll Ferrell cop comedy "The Other Guys" and the men on a mission flick "The A-Team."
