My VHS Collection
I collect Classic, Cult and interesting films on VHS tape, I am very good at finding VHS tapes that are rare for 2 dollars or less. This list is a work in progress as I try to list and keep track of all the VHS tapes I own. I figured it might be a good way of preventing me from doubles of videos I all ready have! Plus it would be a great way for fans of my Turner Classic Movie's video spot light to see what films I own and recommend!

Even as an older woman she shines through with amazing beauty. Many things about this movie are great, namely it was the oscar winning role for Goldie Hawn and also stars the great Walter Matthieu. One of my favorite comedies of the late 60's.

There her and an older missionary run a hostel for travellers and mule drivers called The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. Things get derailed when the Japanese invade China in the lead up to WWII. This movie stars Ingrid Bergman in the title role and is HIGHLY recommended.
- DirectorDavid ButlerStarsDoris DayGordon MacRaeLeon AmesMarjorie Winfield's engagement to Bill Sherman, who has just arrived home from fighting in World War I, serves as the backdrop for the trials and tribulations of her family.Doris Day musical set in the early 1930's.

I have watched this interview before on You tube and as someone who is sort of an ametur expert on UFO's and Aliens I can tell you this is NO FAKE! I have seen a Tall Grey alien in person once in 1999 and I can tell you that the alien in the video is real. But most people without my experience will think its not just a fake. To check it out search on you tube for the alien interview with Victor at area 51. Great documentary, should be seen by everyone. I know for a fact that our govt has been hiding the truth about aliens for a VERY LONG TIME! Amazing find on VHS tape, one I was extremely excited about!

This can also be found on You tube for free.

- DirectorDon ChaffeyStarsRaquel WelchJohn RichardsonPercy HerbertPrehistoric man Tumak is banished from his savage tribe and meets pretty Loana, who belongs to a gentler coastal tribe, but he must fight caveman Payto to win her favors.Remake of the 1940's film that starred Victor Mature, this one is in color, of course and the special effects are done by Ray Harryhausen, but that doesnt mean that this one is better than the first, I happen to like the 1940 version better, BUT this one is still highly entertaining and still holds up today. Any movie with work by the legend Ray Harryhausen is going to be entertaining and worth the time of viewing. The story is about a man and woman from different tribes during the dinosaur age that fall in love and all the problems that arise from their union. Interesting to see what it might have been like back in those days. Try to see both versions if you get a chance.

This movie is hailed as one of the best classic films of all times and if you dont mind subtitles then you should check out this film. The story revolves around a group of French POW's who always escape and are sent to a castle in Bavaria to serve out the war that is suppose to be inescapable. Amazing film, highly recommended. The Great Escape of WWI is what I would call this film.
