Don't hesitate, it's worth every penny, even if you already own two copies on DVD like me. :)

That's a good one. I love the cinematography from older black and white films.

Indeed.  I will have to snag a copy.  One of my favorites for "looks" was the The Third Man.

Great choice, and a great soundtrack.

Casa de mi Padre (2012) w/ Will Farrell - well this was on my 'to see' list, so streamed from Amazon last night; in Spanish w/ sub-titles - Farrell plays the son of a Mexican rancher and except for a few moments speaks Spanish - held my interest (by a thread) to the end (fortunately less than 90 mins) - the gal was HOT!  I'd probably do 2+* on a scale of 5; the Amazonians average out to 3+*; and IMDB only 5.5/10 - bombed on Rotten Tomatoes @ 45% (5.4/10) - now, I've never been a Will Farrell fan (i.e. in the movies) and his performance in this film might be a hint! :)

METROPOLIS, robot Hel.

Nice picture :)

Fritz Lang is a very fine director, I love his series of films Die Nibelungen.

I love the old Aurora kit art.  The art was always better than the kit.  I have a reissue....part of my collection here:



Older photo.  It has expanded since to three walls+ worth, but you get the idea. ;D

I think the best done, and I mean this sincerely, was Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein.  As a kid, Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman.  I woke up one morning at about 2 AM when I was about 10 years old, turned on the tv, and there before me was Frankie (the dreadful Bela version) beating on the Wolfie....then the whole castle blew up and all were swept away!  I was awake for the day!  I was hooked for life! :D   Now....probably the first Mummy (1932) with Karloff.  Loved him in this role, even thogh the bandages came off early. :D

Makes me wonder whatever happened to all my old monster models. I spent hours painting Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, the Creature ftBL, the Mummy...and I also loved Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein! Wonder if that's on Netflix...?
