Oops, looks like I turned this section into the Bubble Wrap Popping Game Appreciation Thread!!!

[addicted2dvd]

Someone asked over at the other forum... so I counted it...

I have had 257 DVD releases (counting boxsets as 1) given to me in the last 2 and a half months! 

So I just wanted to publicly say Thank You once again to everyone that sent me movies here in the past few months. I really appreciate them... and it made my going without horror a whole lot easier to take (even if I did get a lot of new horror I can't wait to see!)

I think you need to change the name of this thread!  Change it to either Pete's DVD Gifts or maybe The Bubble-Popping Thread!

I think you need to change the name of this thread!  Change it to either Pete's DVD Gifts or maybe The Bubble-Popping Thread! 

So should we split this into 2 threads?

Joe and Beth settle in at Boley's farm and it seems like they will live happily ever after until their cover is blown.

For when The Sleeper decides it's her time to die, all he has to do is wait for her to fall asleep.
	Black Beauty Anna Sewell's novel Black Beauty has been one of the world's most beloved animal stories since its 1877 publication. The story is told by its hero, a remarkable black horse with a white "star" on his forehead, whose joyous and heartbreaking life takes him from idyllic country life to London's cobblestoned streets. Written and directed by Caroline Thompson (1993's The Secret Garden), this is the most faithful of the book's several filmings.
