I’ve been building up my movie collection just a bit. These came in this week. Eastwood – Josey Wells, Pale Rider & Unforgiven in a 3-disc set. I never cared for the Dirty Harry series or the spaghetti westerns. There are a couple more of his films I liked but those are for another time.
Also, Brave Heart, Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan another 3-disc set. Dances with Wolves, O Brother Where art Thou?,,,
The 10 Commandments, How the West was Won and Lonesome Dove, these 3 are usually cut to pieces when aired on tv. Recently I got “13 hours-the secret soldiers of Benghazi”. the “Midway” remake, the new film “1917” and the 4 film “Die Hard” set.
Almost all of the above are extended versions and fully restored where necessary. Most are Blueray, and all were less than $10, even the multi-movie sets.
The only exception… “The Civil War” by Ken Burns. I don’t know if any of you saw the original on PBS but this film is simply amazing. Before the war we were the “united STATES of america, after the war we were the UNITED states of america. A play on words yes but through this film you can see the profound change that took place in our nation. To understand how we truly became a nation, we have to look back to this one event.
I bought the movie from PBS on vhs way back when but I haven’t owned a vhs player in years. I’ve wanted this 6 - blueray disc set for several years. It is the fully restored version of the original film, a little pricy at $98 but worth it in my book.
Oh... a new kitchen scale came today also!
Forgot... Young Frankenstein came today after I first posted this... mel brooks film, Robin Hood men in tights is on the way, be here next week.
