OT - is this DVD box worth it?

[tonyingesson]

I found a rather cheap DVD box in an online store, it has 50 movies and documentaries on 12 DVD's for $35. I checked a bunch of the movies and they pretty much seem to be crap, but I'm curious about the documentaries, it would be nice to see lots of PTO footage.

I'm not that good at PTO matters yet, I only started learning about the PTO after getting WitP a few months ago. Do you think it's worth buying?

hours upon hours of watching when you could be reading. Then again, good history books are so dam expensive.
bs (reading snob) [:D]

edit: added smiley to prove I'm not really a reading snob

[bradfordkay]

Yeah, but you can have the DVD playing on the tube in the background whilst playing WITP. I often have either documentaries or war movies playing on the tube while I try to stem the yellow tide...

[bstarr]

hmmm . . . never thought of that. I might try it. And considering the number of films in the above DVD set and the length of the game, one would get to watch (or hear) the movies and documentaries several times.

So, yeah, tonyingesson, buy away.

As a matter of fact, the History Channel is playing Tora, Tora, Tora while we speak. Time to get WITP up and running...[8D]

Hi, Those movies look like fodder for MST3K

I thought so too. [:D]

That's why I was asking about the documentaries. I've already bought a bunch of PTO books and finished them, I thought it could be nice to see some footage.

Hi, The battle at San Pietro was directed by John Huston (need I say more other then the fact that Clark needed to say a forward because it made him look like the butcher moron he really was)

Maybe you have John Ford documentary on Midway and the one simulating the attack on Pearl.
