What about Gone With The Wind, obviously packed with your favorite Southern food? Or Moby Dick with seafood? Just think what you could do with Breakfast at Tiffanys!

Here's an idea for one's more hard-boiled friends/family: the (excellent) film/book combo of "The Maltese Falcon" plus a bottle of rye whiskey (and, perhaps, some Alka-Seltzer).<br /><br />I've had my eye on that Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection for a while, by the way. Lots of great suggestions here, including Allen's for the Laurel & Hardy Essential Collection.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-76084987708205200372011-11-26T14:20:11.174-05:002011-11-26T14:20:11.174-05:00Love, love, love this, Rick!

Nice tip, Paul, on what sounds like a nifty buy. And, Becky, I'm with you...I love all of the this year's gift recommendations (and, in fact, took up your suggestion for one of my brothers-in-law). As for the EVIL DEAD pics, #2 is my favorite--a delirious blend of creepy sights and delightful slapstick (especially the hand scene).Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-74231358464722890332011-11-25T17:36:45.234-05:002011-11-25T17:36:45.234-05:00I just found out that Target has a "combo Pa...I just found out that Target has a "combo Pack" of West Side Story, with a regular DVD included with the Blu-ray for about $20,00 with all the other "goodies"Paul 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11500682719536011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-29771943003584034332011-11-25T14:41:14.191-05:002011-11-25T14:41:14.191-05:00May I have one of each, please?

Well, barring that, I obviously have a penchant for the Rebecca gift basket (very clever idea), and that actually is in a tie with the horror movies! I am a huge fan of Evil Dead II and the original Fright Night, plus plenty of the others. All of the ideas are quite good.<br /><br />Hey, congratulations on being a trilogy!!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-61131222036420859482011-11-25T13:36:06.238-05:002011-11-25T13:36:06.238-05:00Sadly, Rick, you missed Laurel and Hardy: The Esse...Sadly, Rick, you missed Laurel and Hardy: The Essential Collection which was just released this month and includes EVERY sound short Laurel and Hardy film made at Hal Roach Studios, plus 10 feature films. All have been restored by the UCLA film preservation dept. and this release is from RHI Entertainment. Missing are the silent films and the later 20th Century Fox films. It's on my wish list!Allen Hefnerhttp://bitactors.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
