I'm generally not big on watching musicals, but I have to admit that if I seen it on a shelf, 'Calamity Jane' would maybe pique my interest enough to watch it.
You're right about 'Bonnie & Clyde'... I found it a little funny at the time, we were talking about movies at a family gathering once, and my nephew mentioned 'Bonnie & Clyde' and he called it 'an instant classic'... The thing is, the movie was over 40 years old at the time, so it was quite aways off from being 'instant'-By then it would have been a certified classic... Glad to know he liked it though.
Had some pretty decent luck this weekend @ $2 ea. Cool Hand Luke is a clear win on Blu-ray, and I've been looking for a good copy of The Warriors for a long time (I'm very picky with DVDs - less than an NM disc and I pass). Several nice adds to the classic Hollywood side of my collection, and I definitely can't pass on anything Sinatra. Young Frankenstein, Alvarez Kelly, and the Witchblade Series are all sealed.
I agree - didn't really see any difference between the two apps. They both look to be adapted book collecting apps and I wouldn't make the argument to change from either one if you are already using one or the other. Neither is a true Discogs equivalent for sure. DVD profiler was much better on the overall data front than either of these apps. It doesn't appear to me that DVD collectors get as deep into the weeds with releases as music collectors do, with matrices, pressings, and that sort of detail. I do on occasion want to know more details about the particular release, though, for reasons like you mention. My main purpose for this app, though, is to track title and format so I don't accidentally pick up duplicates. If it can accomplish that, it at least addresses the biggest annoyance I have with my DVD hunting.
I finished watching Schitt's Creek last week, and enjoyed Eugene Levy's portrayal of Johnny Rose, so when I found and American Pie set of 4 movies on BluRay for $3.50 I couldn't say no. It is a region-free European issue, and was glad to find that it played just fine on my old Sony BDP-S580. My taste in movies is usually a bit more thoughtful, but I find Eugene Levy really funny in everything he does.

Little success this month looking for CDs but I came away from my local charity shop today with the following 5 Blu-rays and 1 book for £4. upload images
'Scarface' (original) 'Each Dawn I Die' 'Opry Video Classics-Love Songs' 'Opry Video Classics-Pioneers' 'Opry Video Classics-Songs that Topped the Charts' The 'Opry' DVDs are live performances by various classic Country artists, 15 songs per disc, plus bonus interviewa
Hellboy II, BluRay, for $2.99. It did not include the dvd which contained a 2+ hour documentary, but I doubt I’d have watched that extra since the film wasn’t that good. $3 was really the perfect price for this one imo. Other BluRays seen but not bought: not one but two of Solo: A Star Wars Story. (I already have that.) And Star Trek Into Darkness (the original edition without all of the extras that were eventually collected).
Between Bridget Jones’ Diary and Take That Live I spotted this . Never seen it on the shelves before . Took it home for £1. Henry : Portrait of A Serial Killer.
Five for a pound in the RSPCA shop. Not expecting too much from MM or T2 but needed them to make the offer work: • Rain Man • The Wonder Boys • Mamma Mia • Taken 2 • Love Me or Leave Me LMOLM is a Doris Day/James Cagney film that has to be worth a look.
Not a charity shop find, but in the local CeX this morning I spotted a 3-disc Do Not Adjust Your Set DVD priced at £15 - definitely not a charity shop price, but I still snapped it up. One of the discs is devoted to the Bonzos. * For those who don't know about Do Not Adjust Your Set, it was a children's TV show which had four of the Monty Python guys in, and it was on telly from 1968-69, just before Monty Python first began. The CeX also had a Bowie In Berlin DVD for £6, but I'm not a Bowie fan. Just thought I'd mention it!
