Bargain DVDs in a recession

By Matt Holmes /

£40 odd quid on bargain DVDs, during a recession no less? Well you can't say I didn't get my money's worth but I can't keep going into HMV and spending this kind of money! I picked up a Roman Polanski Paris set thriller Frantic starring Harrison Ford which I hadn't seen, and I'm pleased to find out has a Ennio Morricone score. She's Having A Baby, because I'm going through something of a John Hughes phase right now, The Postman Always Rings Twice (the reason David Carradine has a thing for blondes in Kill Bill, seal enough of approval I thinks), The Majestic (one of Carrey's best, and one that shows the true love of going to the cinema) and a double box set of the comfy rom-com classics Three Men and a Baby and it's sequel Three Men And A Little Lady. On the second row, we have Marlon Brando in Mutiny in the Bounty, a movie I haven't seen but I like me some seafaring adventures. The awesome Shaun of the Dead which I can't believe I don't own already. Robert Wise's The Haunting which I've never seen, Rob Zombie's Halloween which I'm curious to see again and Little Caesar starring Edward G. Robinson which I've been desperate to see since I went on a Warner Bros. ride at Disneyland, Florida. Oh and 20th anniversary of Empire magazine came through my door today too and looks like a packed issue. Awesome. Now what should I delve into first?
