Almost all of the DVD’s I have baught in the past year are TV collections: The complete Dick Van Dyke show, Venture Brothers, Dr. Who (which I transferred to .avi, edited, and burned back to disk, eliminating all of the forced “gayity”.) Yes, most movies are junk, made for the cheers of other Hollywood dwellers, and not even to make money. (How else do you explain PIXAR still making good movies that sell like crazy, and the rest of Sodomywood cranking out “artistic successes” that fail at the box office?)
Most of today’s movies are junk. there are a few but you have to sort through the garbage to find them.
We all have our personal favorites. Mine are...
El Cid
Fall of the Roman Empire
Gladiator
War and Peace (1967 Rissian version)
Waterloo (1971)
Saving Private Ryan
And that is just the short list!
some are more personal..
The Court Jester
20,000,000 miles to Earth
Southwest Passage
Commanches
Tribute to a Bad Man.
There are also many others. I have found I enjoy some of those really bad si fi movies from the 1950’s!
I noticed that many foreign films have brought new creativity to the screen. Some of the modern Si Fi from Korea is definitly worth watching!
And almost any 1940’s WB releases with Humphry Bogart or Errol Flynn. they have a quality that has not been matched.
