MAN - spent an hour going through "Best Buy" DVD section - they really have the "Oldies but Goodies" stocked:
Most of the old Richard Burton war flicks, (including bact to "Alexander the Great" & "Cleopatra", "The Spartans" (Battle of Thermopolea - GREAT Flick), Zulu (Battle of Roarke's Drift - another GREAT one), Guadalcanal Diary, Wake Island, Battlefield, Battle of Britian, 633 Squadron, Mosquito Squadron, The Dam Busters - Even found "The Hunters" - (Robert Mitchum flying F-86 Saberjets in Korea - DAMN those are pretty planes!) - they've got tons of the old flicks now. Same way with the cowboy flicks.
They even had Howard Hughe's famous "Hells Angels" (Got it - interesting flick but - those editors that transfered the movie over are BASTARDS!!)
They didn't have "Breaker Morant" (Aussies in the Boer War) - found that on "Overstock.com". They don't have "The Final Option" (British SAS Raid), or "The Wild Geese" (Burton, R. Harris, R. Moore - Brit Merc raid in Africa) - BUT, they do have "Dog's of War".
If anyone's a Kurosawa fan, they even had a "Kurosawa Samuri Pak" - 4 of his best ( "7 Samuri", "Yojimbo", etc). And, a bunch of the other great Japanese flicks.
Best part was - a LOT of them were $5-$12 bucks, mostly $7 (except Kurosawa)
EVERY episode of Monty Python's flying circus in 1 (BIG) DVD-set, too.
Don't mean this as an Advert for "Best Buy" - But been hopin' a lot of them oldies would come-out for years - missed them
