If there were any movies worth seeing this might be a good idea.

I agree. Hard to find good movies these days, but it's still worthwhile. Just don't send Lilo and Stitch. It's the only time I ever fell asleep in the movies. :)

I found a 2-DVD set of Reagan movies ('SantaFe Trail' and 'This Is The Army') for $4.99 @ BigLots yesterday... They'll go in my overseas Christmas boxes this year. :)

But "Farenheit 451" might remind them why they're there...

How about some old Clint Eastwood flicks. I still enjoy watchin "The Outlaw Josey Wales" et al. Plus Clint's a Republican. I sure the guys over there would appreciate some good ol' white hat, black hat movies. I'm goin to look for some deals online of some older movies with substance. Good stories with a message are timeless.

tru peace...D

I'm pretty sure you can pick the movie and send it to one of the addresses listed. Thanks!

Thanks! And great idea, Best buy had some movies for 5.99 I'll go back and check on. Maybe if I go talk to the folks at Blocbuster they'd be willing to donate some of their used movies.

Go to your local video rental shops and see if they'd like to clean out some of their inventory...
