[markrgvMember]

There have been some good films listed here (compared with the usual rubish of listing films that are no more than 5 years old).

I'm a bit confused about [i][b]Sharknut[/b][/i] though…
I'm detecting that maybe you like horror films…I'm not sure, it's just a feeling i have!!

[SharknutMember]

Chiptooth, I LOVED watching those old Godzilla movies when I was a kid! One of the channels played them all (or maybe just some, I'm not sure now) as a Sunday Series, and I couldn't wait to see them ;-p

bb75, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't buy TV series DVDs LOL! I really just started buying "regular" movies, so it was easy for me to list mine.

Puckbunny, doesn't the cover of April Fool's Day have a chick's hair braided into a noose, and she's got a knife behind her back?

Mark, hey, give a girl some credit! Two of those weren't horror movies ;-p I just happen to like these kinds of flicks above all else. I don't want to want to ball my eyes out for two hours about someone else's life (frankly I can just take a walk down memory lane), comedies are just too….forced for me almost all of the time. I can't watch it more than once, the jokes are ruined for me so it becomes like a damn drama LOL! Etc etc etc.

If I'm asked to buy into another world for a couple of hours, I don't want it to be……real(istic). And I'm still hoping one of these flicks might actually scare me for a change

[ChemoMember]

[Puckbunny13Member]

Sharknut, Yep, April Fool's Day is the one with the broad with the noose of hair and the knife. Amy Steel from Friday part 2 stars along with 80's classic actress Deborah Foreman! Produced by Frank Mancuso Jr. It's a great flick. 8)

[Puckbunny13Member]

Greg, Greg, Greg, while I am suitably impressed by the fact that you have an obvious hard-on for Hitchcock and I can forgive anyone almost anything as long as they own JAWS, Bladerunner, and Casablanca; however, I think you've got some nerve calling others 'amateurs' with movies like Alladin and Batman Forever in your mix! Lol! Nice collection bud. Where's The Philadelphia Story and The African Queen? 8)

[GregMember]

LOL, hey, I don't apologize for anything. I dig these movies!

The African Queen finally got released on DVD a few months ago, but I haven't had the time to get it yet. I actually haven't seen a DVD of The Philadelphia Story in a while, so I never remember to get it. Recently, I have been obsessed with getting obscure films like Blake Edwards' Experiment in Terror, Platoon Leader, and George A. Romero's Martin. They are around, but they are hard to find in stores. Experiment is out of print and very expensive on eBay.

[KahunaMember]

Chemo

No Blackadder? Easily the best comedy ever written. Be that yank or British.

[SharknutMember]

Exactly Greg You like what you like. My collection isn't exactly eclectic but these are the types of movies that are "re-watchable" to me (or I picked up for the same price as renting).

[KahunaMember]

Sharknut,

Will you marry me?

[SharknutMember]

Depends…what's in your DVD collection?

[GregMember]

I'm very proud of my DVD collection. The future is not a den full of the usual books. It's a den full of wall to wall great movies, LOL.

[KahunaMember]

Basically the same films as you, sharknut.

[ChemoMember]

Yeah, no Bla(cka)dder. Yet. It was a good comedy allright.

[Puckbunny13Member]

Greg, if you are interested in getting The Philadelphia Story, there is a release of The philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, Woman of the Year, and Adam's Rib all in the same box for the price of one film. TCM release. 8)

[GregMember]

Thanks, Puckbunny, I'll keep that in mind. I think I'll probably get Platoon Leader next, and when I finally get myself a region free DVD player– I'll grab Orson Welles' Black Magic finally on R2 DVD. I'm really curious to see that film. During the Holiday season, one of the DVD packs like you mentioned are good buys. A friend of mine bought a six pack of John Ford films a couple years ago, which included The Lost Patrol, The Informer, Mary of Scotland (has become one of my favorites of Ford's and for Katharine Hepburn), Sergeant Rutledge, and Cheyenne Autumn, which was a pretty cool pack of films. 8)
