Amazon.com has available a bunch of discount DVDs — over 400 titles at $5.79 each. There are classics (The Big Sleep, Suspicion), scifi cult faves (Ladyhawke, Clash of the Titans, Soylent Green, Westworld, Logan’s Run), and personal favorites (Dangerous Beauty, Singles, Pump up the Volume, The Iron Giant), plus a whole lot more.

Meanwhile, Warner Archive has a bunch of new-to-DVD 80s and 90s films at 25% off, which makes them under $15. I’m tempted by Under the Rainbow, and after seeing it too often on cable as a kid, I kind of want to see an unedited So Fine. Rob Lowe’s in Oxford Blues, and I know some readers will want Penn & Teller Get Killed.

But the most exciting news for me this week is the announcement that Scarecrow and Mrs. King is coming to DVD in March. List price is $40 for 21 episodes on five discs. Kate Jackson was a single mother who got caught up in capers with Bruce Boxleitner as the spy code-named Scarecrow. I adored this show for its combination of spy adventure and hints of romance. What a nice hit of nostalgia.
