• Captain Blood (Errol Flynn in perhaps his swashbucklingest role EVAR!)
  
• Christine (My favorite Steven King movie for some reason)
  
• Close Encounters of The Third Kind (Y'know... Richard Dryfus is an alien)
  
• D.C. Cab (Mr. T as a cab driver! I pitty the fool who does not love this movie!)

I gotta tell you, this list is not selling me on Comcast Digital Cable. What if Patrick Swayze had been The Road Warrior? I'll tell you what if! I wouldn't have watched the shit!

I liked Fifth Element lots. And I watched Krull in the theater, although even at age 11 I thought it seemed sort of cheesey. But for the rest I would rather have some sort of pay-for-not-having-to-view plan.

Anyway! I'll just go back to encoding Good Eats episodes into VCDs. :D

Well this is just the list of movies that are (a) free and (b) really appeal to just me. The "Free" section has about 5 times that many movies per month. Then there's all the OTHER free content, something like 10,000 hours of it available each week? And of course if you decide to add a Premium Channel like Showtime or HBO, you're talking about ANOTHER 150 more recent movies and other made-for-cable content such as The Sopranos, Penn & Teller and more!

Don't get me in to Salesman mode! I sold Zannah and I'll sell you too!
