I buy lots because of Nostalgia... but I also enjoy watching them for the same reason. But for this old stuff... my favorite thing to do is watch what I liked to watch as a kid with my kid! There has been many of my old shows I watched with my daughter... she seems to either love every second of it... or just shakes her head in disbelief!

33. It's a real movie print and not a VHS conversion (quite rare with my type of cinema)
34. It's the complete movie with no stupid cut
35. I'm friend with the owner of the label who release it

38. I helped build and paint some of the penis-shaped rayguns used as props in the movie.
39. I shot Polaroid photos for the continuity director(s).
40. I know the star.

Yeah, three bad science fiction movies. A "how'd you get that" to anyone who can name 'em.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Someone's following me too closely. 

An adman who created the KGB Chicken starred in the one you didn't name.
