The 300 Spartans, 1962.. a nice surprise. Very well done even with the awful costumes (in classical 50s and 60s style, Hollywood gives them Roman helmets and buzz cuts, and makes them all clean shaven). They got the quotes right, which I had to love... "Tommorrow, we will DARKEN THE SKY with our arrows!" "Good. It's hot and now we can fight in the shade" "Lay down your weapons!" "Tell Xerxes.. if he wants our weapons, he can come and take them!"
Those Spartans were tough.. and they knew how to turn a phrase.
The Beast. 1988. A great little movie about a lost Russian tank team in the Afghan Occupation by the Soviet Union, filmed while the war was still going on. With real T-55 tanks! And a French Super Frelon helicopter painted up to look like a Mi-8 Hind!
Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla 1955, B&W. No, I'm not kidding. This was the only film appearance of Kirk Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo, dead ringers for Martin and Lewis, who eventually were served a cease and desist order by lewis because Petrillo did Lewis better than Lewis did! Not much of a plot but definitely worth a dollar.
All told, I think it all tallied up to about 11 bucks. Thanks, WalMart!
