ericcolemanSo ... ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cryndalae, in an unusual bit of cleverness, decided to not go out and buy me anything for FD. Smart move ... I am HARD to buy for. She instead went out and got an Amazon gift certificate for me.
So, what I got today
J-Men Forever - The Procter And Bergman cut up of classic Republic movie serials into something wildly different. Hysterically funny.
Crimson Pirate - one of the last of the great swashbucklers that I didn't have
Robin Hood - The extended dance mix Costner version ... ok ... it's cheesy but if you overlook his accent problems it really is a fun movie.
So ... I need recommendations ... I am looking for more swashbuckler films ... what I have (off the top of my head)
The Adventures Of Robin Hood
The Errol Flynn box set (which takes care of Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk)
The Three Musketeers (the 70s classics)
The Mark Of Zorro
I'm thinking I need a version of Prisoner Of Zenda, I need to check to see what is in print
Any other recommendations ???

Update: I do have the complete Musketeers and Pirates Of the Caribean as well
update two - Neither version of Prisoner of Zenda are available on DVD ... the 37 or the 52 ... creeps

Flynn's Don Juan seems to be one of those 'love or hate' movies...not sure how you feel about it. Princess Bride has some SB elements to it IMO, again not for everyone....oh, and seem to remember one with Lancaster in it...*sigH* Need some research time, i guess :)

Date: 2005-06-24 06:41 pm (UTC)Neither Black Swan (and yeah, I want her hair too ... draped rather than planted ... but don't get me started) nor The Adventures Of Don Juan are out on DVD. I would buy both
I do want Princess Bride at some point ... for no other reason that I think that the Moose would love it
