| Amazon thinks I should be watching a lot of Carole Lombard |
But, while I was there, I clicked on to "My Amazon" at my favorite and addictive internet shopping site, just to see what they think I should be watching (and buying). I'll spare you the books, cosmetics and electronic devices they also recommend and stick to the movies.
Seems they know me pretty well, but not as well as they think. Here are a few DVDs they suggest for my pleasure:
1. The Carole Lombard - The Glamour Collection (Hands Across the Table/ Love Before Breakfast/ Man of the World/ The Princess Comes Across/ True Confession/ We're Not Dressing) (1931)
Amazon thinks I need this because I purchased a few William Powell films. Seems Carole and Bill are still linked.
Price: $10.83 on Amazon Prime. To buy or not to buy?

2. The Organizer (1963) starring Marcello Mastroianni
Now, I have never heard of this film, but it was recommended because I purchased Chaplin's "Modern Times."
Price: $13.99 on Amazon Prime. To buy or not to buy?
3. Speaking of William Powell, Amazon really wants me to have his films. Here's a tasty collection they recommend:
Price: $32.38 on Amazon Prime. To buy or not to buy?
4. Powell makes an appearance again, but this time the recommendation is a 4-pack Harlow.
Price:$11.99 on Amazon Prime. To buy or not to buy?
5. Oh Amazon - you are so smart! You remembered I loved Garbo's silents. Here's a tasty temptation:
Price: $19.93 on Amazon Prime. To buy or not to buy?
I admit it was all quite tempting, but here's what I decided:
1. Carole Lombard Glamour Collection: BUY! While these are not my favorite Lombard films, the price is awesome and the collection might make for a nice giveaway someday.
2. The Organizer: BUY! A new-to-me film starring the glorious Marcello. I am sold.
3. The Philo Vance Murder Collection: Pass. While it looks yummy, it is a little too expensive.
4. The TCM Harlow 4-Pack: Oh, I am such a sucker: BUY!!
5. The Torrent: I am so ashamed. Not only is this a BUY, but I added this Garbo silent collection (Flesh and the Devil, The Mysterious Lady & The Temptress) to my cart:
Only $7.49 with Amazon Prime!
Amazon Prime - I couldn't live without you! (Well you and my DVR and my Kindle and my hair dryer and the sleep timer on my TV remote).
Price: $13.99 on Amazon Prime. To buy or not to buy?
