My wife commented last week on how I haven't been buying as many DvDs in the last couple months. That was a big mistake.
The Meaning of Life was finally re-released today. Coincidently, MGM is running a special on a series of their DvDs for $9.95 with a "Buy 2 get 1 free" coupon to boot. The Great Escape and A Bridge too Far were both on that rack.
I added some other stuff too...
My Collection (http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mycollection.asp?alias=MrHanky)

Some of my fav's on that list....BUT, Pluto Nash and BASEsketball?
-
Pluto Nash ranks in the 20 worst in the collection. Didn't really know anything about it before I bought it for $10.
BasketBall rules.

I've not even begun to buy DVD's yet. But the top two on my list are MP: Holy Grail and Dr Strangelove.
What I would REALLY Like to find, and buy, would be full broadcasts (tv or even CD radio audio would be fine) of past World Series and Stanly Cup playoffs. What I've found have been been "highlight" videos with modern day (not original game announcers) over dubbed commentary and cheesey sounds :(

Just added:
Two Towers
1941
The Great Escape
Glory
Shrek
The Usual Suspects
Gods and Generals
and, one of my favs: Big Trouble in Little China
-
DJ ... thought of a couple you needed to add. Gettysburg and Of Gods and Generals.
S!

I haven't heard real good things about "Gods and Generals". If I recall... Gettysburg is done by the same director?
MiniD
-
Yeah, in all honesty I've not seen Gods and Generals ... I've seen Gettysburg, and own it. It is really an awesome movie, I think you'd really enjoy it. Great cast, great plot, great story.

Gods and Generals is a good, if very long, movie. However, it would have been better served by being called "The Stonewall Jackson Story." I get the feeling that the portions with Chamberlain are pretty much only added so as to give the appearance of covering both sides of the war. IMO, Gettysburg is a much better movie.
-
Yeah, the book is like that, too. Gettysburg is a better movie, but this one is good. I expect The Last Full Measure to be very good. (or depressing if your a southerner)

Westy!
I saw Dr. Strangelove at the local WalMart for $9.94 just this weekend.

I'm reading the book now. It's pretty good, but I don't think "Unconditional Surrender" Grant will be a good Hollywood leading man type. He is not very flashy. Grant is the focus of a substantial portion of The Last Full Measure. It will be interesting to see how he is portrayed.
I hope they focus the movie is on the last part of the book maybe from shortly before the fall of Richmond (that is where I'm at in the book-about 2/3 through) to Lee's surrender. Otherwise it will need to be too deluted to even fit into a 4 hour movie.

The last DVD I bought was the multi-disk version of Blackhawk Down. It was worth it just for the veterens comment track.
-
WOOOOOHOOOOO! Three O'Clock High has been added.

I see you recently added "The Sandlot". Did I remind you?
-
I don't think so MT. The movie you were talking about was "Sandlot". The one I bought was "The Sandlot". ;)

Saw 'Cletis Tout' on an airplane once. Was surprisingly good.

A friend saw it and recommended it to me. I enjoyed it. Tim Allen is great in the flick.
