If/When I get around to making a “Ten Things I Like About
Living In China” blog/list, I can’t imagine anything topping this: the fact
that I can get DVDs so cheaply. My
latest and best find was an “Oscars Collection” box set that has 24 DVDs with
127 movies on it. I spent 200 quai on it,
which works out to about 25 CENTS for each movie.
And wait until you see the list of movies! (below) I’m a big movie freak so this is like the
mother lode for me. It’s such a good
buy, I may have to buy a Chinese DVD player to bring home just so I can keep
this collection! J
So far, I’ve watched two: “Wings” and “You Can’t Take
it With You.” The former is the first –ever
Best Picture winner – a silent movie about a couple of WWI fighter pilots in
love with the same woman. It was
actually pretty good for an old silent pic.
The other one I’ve watched is “You Can’t Take it With You” with
Lionel Barrymore and Jimmy Stewart – which nabbed Frank Capra his third Best
Director Oscar in 5 years. Fun, quirky
film.
Anyway, here’s the list.
Prepare to be amazed! J
