I mis-spent my youth going to the movies every Saturday and seeing films like THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN and all sorts of war and SF films, not to mention comedies and film noir. On the other days of the week the TV channels in the 1950's and 1960's routinely scheduled old films during the day.<br /><br /> For instance in the 1960's, I kept a book where I entered the date that I viewed each Humphrey Bogart film. They were almost all on TV and I saw over 60 of them, probably close to 70. Now many are available on dvd and you can build up your own personal library of favorite films. This is what I've done because except for TCM and a couple other channels, TV does not bother showing the classic movies. <br /><br />I'm a great believer in personal libraries of films, books, music, and favorite magazines. If you have some extra money, it's all possible and I'm not talking about being a millionaire either. My salary as a worker and my retirement pension provided the means for me to collect dvds, books, magazines. <br /><br />I guess the key word above is "collect". Many people simply do not have the collecting urge at all. In fact, I would say 99 out of a hundred have no interest in building up collections of art, books, films, music, etc. However if you do have the extra cash, then it's possible to join in what I term the grandest game in the world: collecting books, vintage paperbacks, literary magazines and pulps.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-80555078043590968542012-05-29T05:43:14.908-07:002012-05-29T05:43:14.908-07:00Another movie I have never heard of.
