That shows up on Comet TV every now and then. I watched it about a year ago one day. My two word review: Train Wreck.

Quoted from pinsanity:[quoted image]
Elliot Gould dies and in order to prevent his soul from a lifetime of damnation in Hell being subject to Bill Cosby pudding memes agrees to corrupt the souls of three random children in order to save his own.
A Faustian lighthearted comedy from the mouse that roared.
I actually saw that in a theatre.
Quoted from Pahuffman:To whoever recommended Used Cars, thank you! I was out sick from work yesterday and laughed my ass off at that movie.

I lucked out and found a Blu Ray copy at a swap meet about two years ago. Hadn't seen it since it was in the theaters. Funny movie with a great cast!

Saw this recently on TCM:
Comedy of Terrors (resized).jpg
Vincent Price and Peter Lorre play undertakers who haven't had much business in a while, so need to "Create" some business on their own.
Unfortunately, they pick a perspective client (played by Basil Rathbone) that has an odd ailment. As funny as Price and Lorre are in this film, Basil Rathbone is hilarious! And Boris Karloff does some of his funniest work ever in this movie.

I found a Blu-Ray copy of this in a thrift store a while back, but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll have to put that in my net to watch pile.
Quoted from Azmodeus:I need to rewatch very soon. I saw it as a small kid because it was made for tv.
Jane Seymours first Acting role I think.
It is five hours long I believe and a somewhat faithful Adaption of the novel.
The vhs was the only copy for decades and then they actually did a dvd. VerY hammer like in the best ways.
How bout that hand attacking them when they brought it to life.
I had nightmares. So good.
I vaguely remember seeing this a a kid (I think it aired on NBC).
Has an interesting cast as well...
James Mason
David McCallum
Agnes Moorehead
Michael Sarrazin
Ralph Richardson
John Gielgud
Tom Baker (yes, the fourth Doctor).
Quoted from bobmathuse:...Speaking of whom, how about The Golden Voyage of Sinbad with Baker as the bad-guy, Koura... .
And in the next movie was Patrick Troughton, the Second Doctor as Melanthius. Also in the movie: Jane Seymour.
Quoted from elcolonel:"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum"
Zero Mostel was a classic!
And John Pertwee (The Third doctor) was in it! ... okay, I'm going to stop now.

I found out that Shout! Factory has it on Blu-Ray. I'm going to have to order a copy.
Anyone here ever see the French dark comedy "Delicatessen" (1991)? Watch the trailer and you get an idea of what the film is like:

Ah, someone else who gets Blu Rays from Kino Lorber!
Just found this in their latest sale:

Defiantly not recommended for those people that hate them fancy lads!

The Lineup (A.K.A. Contraband) 1958
pasted_image (resized).png
Drug smugglers using innocent travelers as mules to transport heroin to San Francisco. For a 1958 movie it's surprisingly violent. There's what I would consider a classic scene with Eli Wallach and Vaughn Taylor (his only scene in the movie) at Sutros and a shootout right in front of both Sutros and the Cliff House.
All leading up to a chase that was probably the best car chase in a movie in San Fransisco up until Bullitt came out. Have to say the Blu Ray looks exceptional.
Quoted from Grayman_EM:Sorry Zablon I guess I got my ships mixed up, chalk it up to old age.
girloveswaffles I own that movie and I think it doesn't get the credit as a John Belushi movie also.
I have an original 1980 MCA Discovision copy, a MCA / Universal Widscreen Laser disc, and a DVD copy. I just need to get a Blu Ray copy one of these days.
Quoted from Grayman_EM:girloveswaffles just how old are you? Do you have a VHS copy also?
I thought I was the old person around here?
Rarely bought movies on tape. as far as the Discovision 1941, I bought that used in the early '90s, then of course the wide screen version came out a year or two later. 
A lot of my video collection is stuff I find at thrift stores and outlets or shops like Book-off. One of the biggest savings I got was finding a 4K / Blu Ray combo edition if Spiderman into the Spiderverse I found at a Savers store last year that I got for $3.99.
I also get some stuff from Amazon and other online retailers. Much of it is things that aren't released in the U.S.
a couple of goodies were from the U.K. like the never aired 1979 Doctor Who episode "Shada" on Blu ray (no region encoding) and The 1969 original version of The Italian Job. Both were authentic discs, not bootlegs.
But I do get a lot of stuff online that you can't get in many stores and occasionally not even from Amazon.
...as far as my age, I turned 60 last June.
Quoted from Grayman_EM:You should visit the Goodwill here girloveswaffles all my VHS players have broken and I just donated about 750 VHS movies to them. Including my Beatles Yellow Submarine tape also.
Just slightly older than me I turn that age this month.
There's a Good Will "Computer-works" Store in Santa Ana CA. that gets all sorts of stuff on all video formats, sometimes new old stock (usually donated by Target, and you do sometimes find Target exclusives).
They also get get a lot of T.V.s video games (fair selection of PS-4 / 5, X-Box1 and Switch included), and Apple accessories there. Hell, I'm relying on an iMac that I bought there!
They have even got arcade games there including a couple of pins (mostly donated by Captains Auctions).

I lucked out a few weeks back. I found a Magnavox VHS / DVD recorder at a local goodwill store. Unique thing about these units, you can still record off the air on the VCR (it has a ATSC tuner for both recorders).

I looked and there is a Blu ray edition of Yellow Submarine:
https://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Submarine-Blu-ray-Beatles/dp/B0079J28NW/ref=sr_1_1
It is an import from Europe, but it is a region free disc.

Heavy Metal (1981).
Recently got the 4K relerase
pasted_image (resized).png
Hands down, one of the best looking Copies of the movie on video!
Yeah, it shows it age a bit, but still a fun movie to watch. Down side, most of the stories from the magazine aren't very accurate (save Captain Sternn Saves the Day), Upside the original stories are great (Harry Canyon, B-17, Taarna)
