Har du omkring 10.000,– kroner liggende, og ikke vet helt hva du skal bruke dem til? Da skal du få et forslag av meg: Hva med å booste DVD-samlingen med nesten tohundre titler? Amazon har nemlig supertilbud på Warner Classics Mega Collection, hvor du får 198 DVD-titler til skarve $1.449,98. Originalpris er $2.550,– I norske kroner blir det temmelig nøyaktig 10.000,– for hele sulamitten. Det blir en snittpris på 50,– kroner per DVD!

Den relativt høye prisen ser ikke ut til å ha skremt folk fra å kjøpe den. Så langt har Amazon solgt godt over 6.000 utgaver av samlingen! Som tittelen på samlingen antyder, så er det klassikere vi snakker om her. Omtrent alle titlene ser ut til å være fra mellom 1930–1960. Det ser ikke ut som en eneste av filmene er laget etter 1960 (jeg har ikke sjekket alle – jeg har da annet å gjøre).

Dette er filmene du får i pakken – og for å gjøre litt meme av den, har jeg satt titlene jeg selv eier med fet skrift, og de jeg har sett i kursiv:
