Classic Movies DVD Store
Classic films on commercial DVD, mostly from the Warner Archive Collection, priced at up to 20% off the usual retail price. Since there is only one (or in a few cases, two) of each available, you've got to act fast. All profits go to support this site. (You'll be purchasing from my store on Amazon Marketplace, which is called Writer890's store.) These are sealed in plastic, and make great Holiday gifts for classic movies fans or people you want to introduce to the genre. Every one of these movies is one which has been requested many times over the years, and most have only been available on DVD for a few months or less!
Check out the list.
A Tribute to Grace Kelly
The beautiful actress appeared in only 11 films before marrying her prince and giving it all up for love. But what a nice career it was.

Her life was a series of highs and lows, but here we mostly remember the highs in the career of the beautiful Gone With the Wind star.

A Tribute to Burt Lancaster
With almost 100 films to his credit, he rarely gave a bad performance, and his great performances were the kind you can watch over and over.
