 | The Sea Chase
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $4.80 The Duke plays a GERMAN ship's captain during World War Two! What a crazy idea but the movie is terrific if you prefer the offbeat. Color, letterbox.
|
 | The Eagle Has Landed
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.86 This is like The Dirty Dozen only in reverse -- the guys that you sort of root for are Nazis... sort of. Anyway, Donald Sutherland is great and Larry Hagman (in his J.R. Ewing personality) pulls off a stellar performance. Color.
|
 | Deliverance (Deluxe Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.71 Who can forget that "Squeal like a pig" scene?!? Great cinematography, great story. Color.
|

|
 | Rambo (Widescreen Edition)

|
 | Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.95 My favorite Frankenstein film of them all. Hammer Film productions were known for their great sets and superb camera work, (and sexy actresses too.) Color.
|
 | Avengers '67 - Set 1, Vols. 1 & 2
Buy used from: $54.77 This was TV, not film, but the episodes are terrific. There are four sets for 1967, all color, and all with Diana Rigg. I have them all, '62 through '68.
|
 | Oblomov
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $16.00 A Russian film with English subtitles. A Comedic Drama that you'll never forget. Really a good story. Color.

Buy new: $38.99 / Used from: $25.30 The only way you can get "Castle in the Desert" on DVD is to buy this set but it's worth it. This one is the very best of the Charlie Chan mysteries. Black-and-white, very pristine quality.
|
 | Barry Lyndon
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $10.17 I couldn't stand Ryan O'Neal until I watched this film. Brilliant! A color epic-length movie by Stanley Kubrick. Letterbox.
|
 | Sleepaway Camp
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.09 For me, this crazy movie one actually topped "Friday the 13th." Stand by for a hokey summer camp which is a bulwark of perverts and trouble-makers. Color.
|
 | The Abominable Dr. Phibes/Dr. Phibes Rises Again!
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $6.99 Both of these unique horror films just rule. Color.

|
 | Shalako

|
 | Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskervilles
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $9.14 This version is an HBO production and the very best "Hound" film in my opinion. Super scenery and great camera work. Color.

|
 | Cleopatra

Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.01 Yes, I know. You'll just have to trust me on this freaky film... but it really is terrific if you enjoy older horror flicks. Color
|
 | Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man / House of Frankenstein
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $5.98 "House of Frankenstein" is magnificent, and includes almost all the big period horror stars (no Bela Legosi) -- there are also other buying options (sets) if you check around. The movie IS sorta hokey but very well-done. Black-and white.
|
 | Voodoo Island/The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake (Midnite Movies Double Feature)
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.89 I love both of these great old films. Karloff is the GOOD guy in "Voodoo Island." Both films are black-and-white and V.I. is in letterbox.

|

|
 | Anne of the Thousand Days / Mary, Queen of Scots
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $11.28 BOTH of these movies are just terrific! What a great deal for several hours of "Old English" entertainment. Both are color films.
|
 | House on Haunted Hill/The Last Man On Earth
Buy new: $3.95 / Used from: $0.19 If you buy this version then you'll get "The House on Haunted Hill" in LETTERBOX, (not the crummy color remake) -- plus, you'll get the bonus film which is a good one too. "House" is one of my three favorite flicks of all time. Black-and-white.
