Movies I thought I had but didn't.
I was reading either Recoil or Ballistics where the movie "Full Metal jacket" was mentioned as well as R. Lee Ermey had a wright up. So I thought why not watch "Full Metal Jacket". I went a looking and for the life of me I couldn't find it. Then I had a sit down where it could be. For a little while when I come a war based movie I put them in a milk crate. Anyways it wasn't there. So maybe I never had it? The movie was so memorable but when I was having a think I couldn't remember if there was a director's commentary or how the movie began. Gives me an excuse to buy it in Blu Ray?
So luck would have it in the mail I got "Dracula Dead And loving It" which wasn't in the Mel Brooks collection I bought a while ago. Or "The Producer" which I'll have to get to add to the collection. Back to Dead and Loving it. Came across a stunner named Lysette Anthony who played "Lucy". She looked like young Sarah Brightman. I'll have to imdb her filmography.

Full Metal Jacket is a must have, I think.

I often run into the same type problems with hard copy movie ownership. I have used our local library for several years picking up free movies to watch and having an entire week to return them.
A lot of those same films become stuck in my head as being in my fairly large collection. Takes me a very long time sorting through them to learn........I don't have them.
I have also been known to buy a movie that I think came from the library. Only to find out I have just purchased another copy of one I already have!! 😫

not sure how many movies we have on VHS and dvd / blue ray
but all the free channels have spoiled me just about any movie from any year and every variation of type is just a matter of scrolling and a little searching .
I also think back as a kid every time I watch a movie now I think back yep😁 two tv stations and both on any given day picture was fuzzy and lines and snow but if you squint you can see them LOL on a good day the old black and white shows came thru some waht clear

Missed most of a John Wayne movie 'Cowboys' the other day on the free tv. Last night I find it in my, homemade, JW. DVD book. Woohoo the language was different in 1972 and was a never seen movie especially this version.
