I ended up deciding on Bachelor Mother, Boys Night Out, The Phantom Tollbooth, None But the Lonely Heart and Room For One More (I went on a little Cary Grant kick at the end there). I'm tempted to go for 5 more, but I don't think my bank account would appreciate that.

Kudos to Warner Archive for really stepping up their game in terms of the DVD box art. I noticed when I was on the site yesterday that they've even gone back and redone some of the boring "blue" covers from early releases, like ROOM FOR ONE MORE and PRIVATE LIVES.<br /><br />I tend to buy the Archive prints of movies I know I'll want to watch over and over...like BACHELOR MOTHER. :) <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-25965288069333457492010-11-27T19:48:07.769-05:002010-11-27T19:48:07.769-05:00'Bout time those Warner DVDs came down in pric...'Bout time those Warner DVDs came down in price - credit card's been smoking, waiting to pounce.Nickhttp://getnickt.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-33472182864540613182010-11-27T16:58:07.758-05:002010-11-27T16:58:07.758-05:00Mercurie - Thanks so much for the recommendation. ...Mercurie - Thanks so much for the recommendation. I'm sure I'll love it.<br /><br />Laura & Andrew - I have so many movies recorded off of TCM that it's hard to justify purchasing the DVD versions. They have to be REALLY good! Especially since I can rent so many from Classicflix. Glad to hear you two love Bachelor Mother!<br /><br />Robby - I saw your post today. You do such a great job with those. I thought of you the other day when I saw Gentleman Jim which features the Olympic Club in San Francisco. I did some research and it's still up and running. I know that's out of your area but what a swell post that would be to visit that club!Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-32955188571726556252010-11-27T15:03:04.503-05:002010-11-27T15:03:04.503-05:00How funny that you mention 1939 and the Golden Yea...How funny that you mention 1939 and the Golden Year of movies. I just did a post too mentioning "Golden Boy," another film from 1939, but certainly not one of the greats of that year.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up on this deal! This sounds like a great bargain, especially with no shipping cost.<br /><br />I haven't seen "Boys Night Out," but just looking at the cover art makes me want to see it.Robby Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535820211830339224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-68390732765172174412010-11-27T13:46:40.928-05:002010-11-27T13:46:40.928-05:00I got Bachelor Mother too!
I was actually having a...I got Bachelor Mother too!<br />I was actually having a hard time putting together my five because money's tight so I wanted to be careful.<br />Besides that one, I got a couple Eleanor Parker films--Never Say Goodbye and Between Two Worlds--Warner Archive is unfortunately slow on her stuff (and I'm not buying An American Dream because I'd never watch it).<br />I also got the awesome Myrna Loy/Warner Baxter Penthouse and then Hotel...<br />Because I've always heard of Hotel but never seen it.<br /><br /><br />Boys' Night Out has a certain amount of charm to it. I'm a Kim Novak supporter and William Bendix shows up for a bit.<br /><br />With Warner Archive, I always have to check the movie against what I have recorded off TCM... which tends to make the purchases more responsible I guess.Andrew Wickliffehttp://www.thestopbutton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-76847974813127007392010-11-27T12:08:02.912-05:002010-11-27T12:08:02.912-05:00Wonderful choices!!

Also really liked KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY -- great cast.<br /><br />I've got a VHS recording of BOYS' NIGHT OUT, which I taped since I'm a James Garner fan. I'm glad to hear so many people like this -- need to bump it higher in my stack of movies to see.<br /><br />Enjoy!!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-58234070306315992392010-11-27T11:42:22.659-05:002010-11-27T11:42:22.659-05:00I think you'll love Boy's Night Out.

And Miss Novak is amazing in this one--I recall she loved the movie because she played an intelligent woman (she was actually much brighter than the men!).<br /><br />I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Bachelor Mother. It definitely is one of the best films of 1939, which was a stellar year all around!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.com
