Nothing wrong with Tom & Jerry. Sometime in the near future, I plan to buy the entire theatrical release of those classics on DvD.

Starting disk 2 of the remaining Time Tunnel episodes.

That reminds me, next time I go to Wal Mart I have to pick up Seasons 4 and 5. They had them for 20 bucks apiece. They didn't have Season 3 though. I have the first two seasons but I can't find the 3rd one. I'll have to check in Best Buy. They should have it or if not, Circuit City most likely will. The 6th and final season should be comming out soon.

Hogan's Heroes is the best. Along with M*A*S*H and Seinfeld, they are my all time favorite TV series. I'd buy the M*A*S*H and Seinfeld DVDs but they are always on TV. Plus the DVD collections are quite expensive. 30-35 bucks times 9 seasons of Seinfeld and 11 seasons of M*A*S*H equals a lot.

"Dresden" from 2006

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0461658/

Did not know about this earlier so a bit shocked to find it in the shops.

Quite nice techniques to show the Lancaster formations on the ground and as well going up to the sky and preparing for bombing.

otherwise the story is utter ******. 7 out of 10 for the Lancasters...

I have the first 3 seasons of H's H. Dang, I had not known that WalMart has them for $20.00 a season? Im going to check on that when I get back home this evening. Yep, I recieved an email telling me the final season is about to be released. I buy most of my stuff through www.deepdiscountdvd.com but on occasion I buy from Circuit City and even rarer from Best Buy--as they are too damned expensive and also usually don't have anything I want to begin with.

Still awaiting for my 1st season of The Rat Patrol and my 1st season of Daniel Boone (whish is on back order)

Anyway, I grew up watching H's H and STar Trek, Gilligans Island, McHales Navy, etx.

Oh, the first season of Gunsmoke is about to or already has been released. I have never seen any of those and have only seen a very few of the B&W episodes. John Wayne introduces the first episode.

I'm pretty sure that they were 20 bucks but don't hold me to it. I know that they had them for $30 on their web site. That's why I was surprised to only see them for 20 in the store. They had Rat Patrol there too. Can't say I really liked that series though.

By the way, that site you posted has some great deals on a couple of DVDs I was after.

Just finished watching the Good Shepard again. Figured I would bring this up since there is little mention of WW2 and the visit to Berlin right after it.

Watched Waterloo Road earlier, an excellent WW2 drama following a young John Mills as he goes AWOL to protect his wife from a Philandering draft dodger. Well worth watching.

Hi Col. No telling with Wally-World. I find a few great buys there every so often. As I also collect Westerns and such, I found a great one recently that was $4.44 called: The Professionals w/ Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Woody Strode and Walter (Jack) Palance. Went there yesterday to see if they had any H's H but none were on the shelves. I was told they get another shipment of DvDs in on Thurs and Fri but did not tell me if these were included.

On DDDvD.com: That site has specials all the time and has more titles available than any other site I know of. Amazon.com is good too but, I like DDDvD.com better. Also, you get free shipping no matter if you order 1 movie or 100 movies.

On the presant order I have with them, this is the first time I have ordered anything that is so popular that it is on back order. No big deal though, I already know when it will be shipped.

On The Rat Patrol. The first time I ever saw any episodes of the show was when they were played for a short time on WGN-Chicago station about 14 years ago. I had never seen any before then. I'm not sure what to make of that show but I recall liking the episodes I watched. I think I saw around 8 episodes played before WGN quit showing it. I'm a fan of Chrostopher George and thought he was OK in the episodes I saw.

[ Still watching season 3 episodes of H's H.]

Sir John Mills is my absolute favorite star from the U.K. The only thing I have with him in it-for now is: The Colditz Story. I will be getting the Disney film he made (Swiss Family Robinson) and I am desperately awaiting for some Movie-Studio, Power-that-be, to release Dunkirk on DvD.

I remember the Rat Patrol but I have not seen it for years. During the opening scenes of each show they show two guys in a jeep vaught over a big sand dune at high speed but they always cut away before they hit the ground. I always wanted to see the landing of that jeep and how many days in intensive care the two guy spent in the hospitol. One was the driver and the other was standing and holding on to a .50 cal machine gun only.

It was a bit dumb as they blew up tanks with their jeeps and .50 cal machine gun.

That makes me think of Steve McQueen's big motorcycle jump in The Great Escape.
Another one I like concerning vehicles is Three Graves To Cairo where, in the very beginning of the movie, Humphrey Bogart wakes up inside an M3 Lee with everyone else dead and the tank driving itself aimlessly through the North African desert.

Hi Wil, I think you might be thinking of Humphrey Bogart in: Sahara. There were only 3 guys left in his crew. He himself, Dan Duryea (Tank Driver) and Bruce Bennett (Other crewman.) Also has a very young lloyd Bridges in it as the wounded British Soldier (who soon dies of his wounds after being strafed by) Luftwaffe Pilot: Kurt Krueger (who ) recently passed away. He is the other blond-haired Uboat officer in The Enemy Below.

Wink Re: What have you been watching?

C.,
I stand corrected. Can you jog my memory of Three Graves To Cairo? I'm so confused! Hey, isn't that a sweathog classic? Anyway, I recently watched a 1933? movie called Hell Below starring Robert Montgomery, that guy who played the Animal in Stalog 17 (can't remember his name but have seen him in many other b/w's) and the hilarious Jimmy Durante who was also in (Ithink...) a movie called Freaks?. If I know Durante is gonna be in a movie I'll try to watch it just to see him. He's a riot! The movie (Hell Below) is about, you guessed it, a submarine in WWI. It's got the usual love story crap in it but, Durante's antics are the best. Also, the special effects are very good for a movie that was made in the 30's.

Hi Wil, heh heh, that's what im here for ;-)) and no problemo. I wish I could help you on the Three Grave movie but, I have not seen it in I don't know how many years. Oh and The Animal's name is Robert Strauss. I always did like Strauss as well as Durante. Both were great. I never have been much of a Robert Montgomery fan but, I will admit he was great in They Were Expendable w/ the Duke and in Yellow Jack.

I seem to recall seeing the tailend of Hell Below? or somehting similar? Does Hell below have Walter Brennan in it as a Navy Chief? If not, then I have not seen it.

No, he isn't in it. It's got a real funny scene in it with Durante fighting a kangaroo in a boxing ring somewhere in London.
