Five DVDs You Don't Have (and why you don't)

[Teachable Moe]

Rogue Male
The best spy thriller story ever. Directed by Richard Donner. Starring Peter O'Toole
This is maybe the 3rd time the story has been filmed and it's my favorite.
Why you don't have it: Apparently it was shot on a budget of $200.
Winter Kills
Another great paranoid thriller by the author of The Manchurian Candidate
Why you don't have it: Star was a young, pre-stardom Jeff Bridges
Night Train to Munich
A film rushed into production by the beginning of WW2. Reunites most of the team from The Lady Vanishes
Why you don't have it: Fell between the cracks by the start of WW2. Not Hitchcock. And it's a little bit agit-prop.
The Dancer Upstairs
Stars Javier Bardem and he's the coolest movie cop ever. Great story.
Why you don't have it: It's about South America & some people just assume it's political. It isn't. And people assume it'll be crappy because it's directed by John Malcovich.
Wodehouse Playhouse (1975)
The funniest P.G.Wodehouse adaptations. Pauline Collins is fantastic with the sexiest rhotacism ever.
Why you don't have it: It's old. It's from TV. It's about Edwardian idiots. You don't have a clue who P.G. Wodehouse was and don't care.

RJ and Kim Kardashian porn- Why? I won't spend the money to buy it.

Paris Hilton and the guy in the porn Why? I won't spend the money to buy it.

OJ killing his wife and the pool boy wearing the bandana. It was video taped. Why? OJ just hasn't released it yet.

Aliens and the gov't. -Why? Because most of people on this planet are too moronic to handle important information.

Hmmmm, the last one.

I dunno I'm on #5.

The Fugitive, Austin Powers, The Matrix, American Beauty, As Good As It Gets. Because some addict needed a fix, but would rather break into houses than actually work to earn the money.

Willy,
You'd probably enjoy the tv pilot for this show, Frogmen, if you like OJ.
OJ was the lead, an ex Nsvy Seal. Scuttlebutt is that there's a scene where OJ holds a knife to a woman's throat. It was set to release but then the murder happened.
Now it's just sitting in a vault. Completely finished and never aired.

Whoa. I gotta see that. How can I get that being a poor social worker?

People still buy DVDs?

People still buy DVDs?

Yes.I think that market is still around 5 times bigger than buying digital movies or renting from Netflix or other rental service. I don't know the numbers but I think even renting from stores and kiosks is bigger than buying digitally. We still buy some (not much) because Netflix and Amazon have crappy movie choices. For my birthday I got a movie from Criterion which doesn't seem to have a deal with Netflix.

Did someone make this "2009 day" and not tell me?
