Secret of Nimh, ha, interesting

It's interesting to see which animated films they go with when that's one of their blind spots as far as their disc releases go. fantastic planet, watership down, some stop motion.
The Asphalt Jungle was the weakest film in that warner noir DVD set. (hard to compete with gun crazy and out of the past.) the huston i'm interested in seeing is The Dead which had a botched dvd release that was missing the first reel.

"the ghost and mrs. muir" is a weird cultural relic. a woman has a love affair with the ghost of a sea captain. not a metaphor for anything.
