As you might have heard, we currently get about 5 TV stations down here (and two of them are duplicates), so we end up watching a lot of movies. We have Netflix down here (which is a great service, in my opinion), but we only get three movies at a time…and since we get them shipping from NJ, they sometimes take a couple days to get here.

So, we just ordered some “box sets” from Amazon: 50 Movie Pack Horror Classics and 50 Movie Pack Mystery Classics. Yep, that’s right, each set comes with 50 movies (on 12 DVDs). The best part is the price: Each set runs under $25.

Now don’t go expecting grade A movies here. These are all old B movies, some in color, some in B&W. Some are stupid, many are decent. Some are “talkies” some are silent. The quality is okay for the most part, but do go expecting Dolby DTS Surrount. Heck, for less than 50 cents a movie you can’t complain that much.

So, if you are stuck in the campo, or just want some cheap old movies to watch, you can’t go too horribly wrong with these sets. Heck, even if you liked even only one movie it’s still only $25. If your dad is anything like mine or Evelyn’s, they will love these sets. It’s a good way to unwind after a long day of work.
