mcwhat,
Better yet, take them out at your local public library. It's free, so no profits for the studio after the initial purchase. Of course the library doesn't have all the movies, but even in a small city they have a surprising number. A few libraries charge a nominal fee for new releases, but most don't.
And certainly for children's movies, that they love to watch over and over, it just makes sense to get them for free. -

We have seen the definitive Odd Couples on film , stage and tv. How could anyone possibly attempt to improve on perfection?
The idiots who remake classic stuff throw linguini at the wall and it ALWAYS winds up being garbage because they have absolutely NO sense of history nor do they get the original films nor their premises.
I played Oscar Madison on stage and cringe at the idea of the current actors out there even attempting to do this role. And got to talk frequently to Jack Klugman at the track which was fun.
Leave the classics where they belong.in our hearts and memories

Owen Wilson read this thread and tried to kill himself again.
The movie doesn't need to be remade. But if you're going to play the game on who would fit the roles, Adam Goldberg would make a great Felix and Jack Black would make a great Oscar. -
