On a recent trip to MicroCenter I found myself in the DVD section looking at a whole shelf full of old, public domain movies, for $.10 each. Ten Cents. That’s cheaper than you can buy the DVD cases for. Getting some old movies along with the cases? Cool.
I loved MST3K (we all know that) and getting and excuse to watch these old movies was a big part of that. Plus it was just hard back in the day to get your paws on these old movies without paying a lot for them. Not so hard these days, I’ve legally downloaded a number, but finding them on DVD was a treat.
I grabbed a handful of DVDs (15 in total), each having 2-5 movies on them, for a total catch that gives me a library of the following (ones I’ve seen before in italics):
- Warning from Space (1956)
