The Joy of Watching Classic Movies

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Classic movies are different from old movies. There are old movies that are not considered classic. However, most classic movies are old movies.

Usually, people think of a classic movie as an old movie. Most people consider a classic movie as that having black and white color, uninteresting scenes, and dirty pictures. But a classic movie is more than that. Being a classic means that a movie is already a favorite of all generations and have survived the test of time.

Top Signs That You May be a Movie Junkie

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

I have a secret to confess. I am a movie junkie! But not just any kind of movie junkie. I love to obtain the most obscure movies that I can find without spending a lot of cash. In fact, I actually pride myself on the fact that I have gained a lot of DVDs for a very small amount of cash. My favorite spots to hit are pawn shops and used game stores.

There, you can buy DVDs that are in perfect condition for about 75% off the retail price. Luckily, since I like all of the kinds of movies that no one else seems to like, there seems to be a giant surplus of cheap, horrible movies! I have stumbled upon some DVDs at yard sales that people are parting with for just $.50 each when I wasn’t even trying!

I think that I earn the biggest thrill when I find a bargain without even seeking one. The biggest rule to remember when you want to buy DVD movies is knowing what your limit is. Don’t fork over more cash than what you think the movie is “worth”. And always keep your eyes open because you’ll never know when your favorites will fall into your lap for just mere pennies on the dollar!

I love watching dvd movies, I used to watch most of my movies on cable, but there were many that I had seen before and didn’t care for enough to watch again. The great thing about dvd movies is that I can buy dvds of movies I really enjoyed, and if I am in the mood to watch them I have them right there.

Sometimes there is a moment when I am in the mood to watch one particular scene from a movie and with the menus on dvds there isn’t the hassle of searching for it or watching the movie till it reaches that point, I can just go to the scene selection menu and choose my scene. There are some certain scenes I love watching from my favorite movies that I must have watched this way at least a hundred times already!

Renting DVD movies is even easier now than it used to be. Recently I have been seeing kiosks inside of grocery stores and drug stores where you can rent DVDs for a very low fee. The little kiosks hold hundreds of DVDs and are really neat to watch. I know that buying DVDs and renting them has become almost old-fashioned with the digital age of downloads and on-demand home service through cable companies, but I think that this new version of renting DVDs may help that industry somewhat.

I myself do not rent or buy DVDs any longer, as I can borrow almost anything I want from my local library for free. I feel sorry for people whose livelihoods are tied to the making/selling/renting of DVDs, as I feel it is a dying breed (just like CDs are now). Technology is moving so fast, DVD makers just need to catch up.
