Titles in our media library that we've saved over the years on vhs trying to find time to transfer to dvd-r. Have so many movies and friends are always asking to borrow favorites or movies they heard of but have never seen, so hoping this list will help us organize our collection :)

Marlene Dietrich, David James, and Fred MacMurray in The Lady Is Willing (1942)

First of all, most movies on this list are not really bad. But they are not good either. In order not to bore you with every average movie I have seen I will restrain myself only to those of interest. That means you will find movies here that were successful at the box office but did not deserve that undue success or movies that did not stand the test of time. Other entries concern movies that are acclaimed by critics but to me are nothing short of being pretentious. Other titles could include films that were much talked about for whatever reason upon their initial release and therefore hold some kind of reputation that, however, do not qualify them for quality movies. You may also find movies here to which famous actors or directors contributed to but which are a let-down in the end nevertheless.

So, have fun browsing through my selection of the odds and sods of the movie world and let me know what you think.

PS: This list is by no means complete as I will add new worthwhile films as I stumble across them.

I've been saving classic & hard to find still unreleased movies on Vhs for many years... and thank goodness I have... because even though I love how studios like Warner Archive and Universal Vault have been giving so many lost films their long deserved release, wish they could work faster... too  many titles still awaiting their chance to be available to all!
