Thank goodness for Amazon

Whenever i buy classic movies, i always get them from Amazon.com. Sometimes they have bargains on DVD's and when it'a bargain it really is. They also sell used movies for 5-6 bucks.

When i bought the Cary Grant 5 Disc Collection (Holiday/His Girl Friday/The Awful Truth/Only Angels Have Wings/The Talk of The Town) it half off the regular price, from $49.99 to $24.99. That's about $5 a movie. Plus when you buy over $25 you get free shipping and no tax!

I also bought the James Stewart: Hollywood Legend Collection (Rear Window/Vertigo/Harvey/Winchester 73/Destry Rides Again) for $31.99 which was originally $59.99, though Amazon usually sells it lower than the regular price. As of today, it was $53.99. So i got a bargain!! Plus i love this collection because it has great movies and Jimmy Stewart.

The one that got away from me was the Gone With The Wind 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collection Edition. It was selling for $30.99 from 64.99. That's more than half off. What i didn't realize was that it was a one day sale so i told myself that i'd get it in a week or so. Then i came back and it was back to $64.99. Well i was bummed.

Anyway i've filled my movie cabinet with classics for very cheap. Here's some movies i got used (and very good condition) for 6 dollars:
Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve, Mildred Pierce, It's A Wonderful Life, Notorious, My Fair Lady, Auntie Mame, Arsenic and Old Lace, Lawrence of Arabia, and The Lion In Winter.
I got my I Love Lucy collections from Amazon for $15-20 dollars.
