    Hi Ringo, I too am looking forward to a bunch of those movies. In fact there is so many I cannot even begin to think how I will pass it through the finance committee!!!

    :cowboy: Hi Viper, yepper, some I have not seen in so long really will make it a special evening when I have them in hand. I was going to try buying some other already relesased classics this month but I had to buy a decent gift for my Nephew and his gal. Yesterday I was lucky though, I was looking through a book I have not read in probably 22 or more years, and I found $30.00 in it. So, I went to Best Buy (which is rare for me since I like DDDVD) and I found a few greats cheaply enough.


    I picked up: The Hunters w/ Robert Mitchum, Robert Wagner and Richard Egan.


    Then I got: Hells Angels which is an expensively made WWI film made by Howard Hughes. I've only seen bits and pieces of it but I think it was good enough from what I saw to risk venturing $9.99 for it.


    Lastly (for myself) I bought one at $5.50 which is: Tank w/ James Garner.


    I bought four for my Nephew that i'm figuring he and his Mrs. will like.
    Cobra. w/ Sylvester Stallone.
    Hooper w/ Burt Reynolds.
    Total Recall. W/ The Governator himself.
    and the 4th title currently escapes me just now but it is something to do with fast cars( which is one of their favorite subjects).


    I'm going to give them these as a gift tonight when I take them to a good restaurant for dinner. I forgot to mention (more for the Mrs. ) I am giving her a fully working antique Donald Duck pullstring talking toy I picked up at an antique store about 25 years ago. As it still works perfectly and is in great shape, it's a nice collectable for her to have.
