alt.movies.serials › OT- What was you *first* DVD import buy? 5 posts by 3 authors in alt.movies.serials [Email updates to me] [Collapse all] me (Dry Gulch Pete change) Post reply More message actions 1/11/06 This was mine! ![]() Region 1 from Amazon.com in the USA. Nick Laughing...@hotmail.com Post reply More message actions 1/11/06 My first serial import was ZORRO'S BLACK WHIP from England, but my first imports were the first Laurel & Hardy films from Britain, and later when the German discs were available I snapped up all of 'em. It may have bin you! ![]() I was very interested in Zorro's Black Whip because I saw it c/w Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe at the Classic Cinema in Southampton circa 1973 on an all-night show! Linda Stirling was purtier than Larry 'Buster' Crabbe, IMHO, and I was keen to have another gander! |

My, my, ML. You already have more Blus than I have. I guess that's why they call it the Blus. |

I've found loads of bargains online and within stores. I'm enjoying watching them and have certainly found the quality much better then DVDs. |

No question about that, and as you say, there are bargains to be had. I just try to get movies I don't already have, and I already have too many to watch in my lifetime. You're a lot younger. |

I have tons of unseen stuff in my collection. My belief is that I will live long enough to see them all. I should live to 200 or so.

I have no doubt most if not all of my seen and unseen stuff will wind up in a landfill somewhere. That goes for the heard and unheard OTR stuff too. |

Leave us not be so pessimistic. I prefer to think that OTR and old movies, being the high-point of civilization to date, will survive long after all of us, at least until those flesh-eating zombies, or perhaps the ebola virus, finally devour the rest of humanity. And if any of that happens, hey! we gave it our best shot and had a great time trying to keep it alive. It's up to our successors, and if they're too dumb, there's noting we can do about it. So keep watching and listening, guys! |

Tell it, Frank. I did what I could to keep the silents alive, and they're a heck of a lot more alive than they were in the Sixties, when I started, so sure, you can make a difference. Just turn kids on to old stuff in general. It gives them perspective. |

In what way? Added this week: West Side Story (3-disc set with a book), The Girl Hunters (Mickey Spillane), and the Vincent Price II boxed set of 7 films. Total cost to me: zip, zero, nada. So hush. |
