One great movie there. I bought it a few years ago. Zemeckis is a Top 10 director for me, and that's one of my favorites from him.
--Thunderball (currently watching this)
--The Spy Who Loved Me
--Moonraker
--The Man With The Golden Gun
and
--Sean Connery 007 Collection Volume 1
Thanks partly to you chaps, I'm filling out/updating my collection--I was making do with the video versions of a few of these. Especially looking forward to finally seeing the widescreen versions of Dr. No and Goldfinger!
Did that run you more than you wanted to pay, or did you get a nice deal on it?
Gone with the wind (1939)
Goodfellas (1990)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)

I saw a part of one of the movies and they really struck me, so now I got both parts in one buy, and they have Vincent Cassel in them. Win win situation I would say. And with a paid 3 week holiday coming up in my place in the Ardennes and no cable television hook -up only a Bluray player and a tv I am going to enjoy some classics.
Purchased for £3.99 each HD downloads of...

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - blu-ray, not sure about this one, it was fairly cheap so lets hope it's not too much of a turkey!

Septembers Of Shiraz
On a separate note I watched a good 20 minutes of BvS before I realized it was the theatrical one! I didn't expect them to pack the Extended Edition in the back!
And there I was wondering why I wasn't seeing anything new! :))

Continuing with the 70's theme, I've also watched The Omega Man and Soylent Green. Good stuff.
It's a movie about the great Dutch admiral Michiel De Ruyter. The Admiral is the most famous and one of the most skilled admirals in Dutch history, most famous for his role in the Anglo-Dutch Wars of the 17th century. He fought the English and French and scored several major victories against them, the best known probably being the Raid on the Medway and the capture of the HMS Royal Charles, the then flagship of the British navy. The pious De Ruyter was very much loved by his sailors and soldiers; from them his most significant nickname derived: Bestevaêr
Here's a painting of the HMS Royal Charles being welcomed in the Dutch port, English flags being replaced by Dutch flags:
You can still visit his grave at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. Back
I can highly recommend the film. It gives you a different view on certain British history that most of the time we forget (You know, Brittannia did not always rule the waves ;-)). The British King Charles II is played by the wonderful British actor Charles Dance. And Rutger Hauer has a role too. Here is the poster of the film:
