Doug: My oldest son is getting into buying films on video. He's amassed quite a collection already, from action pics to Disney animated features to the ESPN "30 for 30" series to some of the "classics". He's become a real sucker for the large $5 bins found at stores like Wal-Mart. When we were moving the boys into college a week ago we did run to the local Wal-Mart for some things they needed for their rooms. Sure enough, we made it to the electronics section and checked out their budget offerings. I made strong recommendations for
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and
Bonnie and Clyde. Previously, I'd purchased him
Stripes and
Caddyshack -- hey, these are the "classics" I was referring to above!
Doug: So what are some flicks that you might expect to see on a discount rack that you would highly recommend to a friend? This can be anything from 1960's staples like
The Graduate to '80's films such as
Pretty in Pink or
The Breakfast Club. I'm thinking today of films that when I catch 'em on the TV while flipping channels, I'll stop for a few moments -- or even the entire show -- because I just love them!
