Recent Movie Purchases

[Andrew]

Please post your most recent purchases in this thread.

[Mr. DS]

Thats a tough one because I rent most of my films.  I'd say the Sci-Fi Explosion DVD at Walmart in the dollar bin.  It has four flicks on it including Assignment Outer Space, Message From Space, etc.

[Dennis]

I like to purchase  collections, 50 movie sets, I just got:
1 Horror Classics
2 Chiller Classics
1 Nightmare Worlds
1 Sci-Fi classics
There is only one repeat, Unknown World is on Nightmare Worlds and Sci-Fi Classics. All the movies in these collections are the ones I used to watch at the Tumbleweed Theater, the local walk-in, when I lived in El Monte. Yesterday I watched a double feature, The Wasp Woman, followed by Zontar, Thing From Venus. Always thought that the name Zontar in the title was the scariest thing about the last one.

[Raffine]

Me, too.

Netflix (thankfully for my wallet) has somewhat curbed my DVD buying habits.

[Shadow]

Today I added Phantasm III and a giallo I had been wanting for a long time, Lucio Fulci's Lizard in a Woman's Skin.

[The Burgomaster]

Shadowfyre - I bought LIZARD IN A WOMAN'S SKIN a month or two ago.  It was okay, but it definitely doesn't live up to all the hype . . . especially the "shocking" (???) scene with the dogs.

[Shadow]

Maybe I'll wait a while before watching it then. I'll wait until I'm in a mood to watch anything.

[AnubisVonMojo]

Just picked up copies of the 1994 Captain America VHS and Happy Birthday To Me and April Fools Day on DVD.

if you ask me none of the gore in fulci's films is spectacular but when it came out it was a big deal, nowadays you see so much more extreme and realistic gore that it desensitizes you to stuff like fulci's work. you have to appreciate the time frame in which the movie was released. i mean people hear about these movies and are expecting something that doesnt necessarily  deliver but indeed it did for that time.



Purchases:
phantasm special edition
phantasm 3 uncut
godzilla raids again

Rental:

"Lizard in a Woman's Skin" has been on my want list for a long time too.  Some recent additions here:

Godzilla vs. Mothra (Classic Media new release)
Monster High
Howling IV

I bought Warriors of the Wasteland after I saw it mentioned here on the forums.

There is a part in that movie where you are going to be certain that Fred Williamson will show up and save the hero from being "tortured."  He doesn't appear.
