Tom Horn

The saga of Tom Horn - a real-life "enforcer" of Old West days - held a particular fascination for another legend. Hollywood icon Steve McQueen starred in and executive-produced what would be his next-to-last movie, a gritty, exciting recreation of Horn's latter-day career in a turn-of-the-century West where gentler ways supplanted the law of the gun - and Horn would be an unwitting victim of that change. Linda Evans, Richard Farnsworth, Billy Green Bush and Slim Pickens head a strong cast in a film capturing the essence of a time when a man's word was only as good as his guns or fists.

Dr. Strangelove

Arguably the greatest black comedy ever made, Stanley Kubrick's cold-war classic is the ultimate satire of the nuclear age. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with "the purity of precious bodily fluids," mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviets counter the threat with a so- called "Doomsday Device," and the world hangs in the balance while the U.S.

Blazing Saddles

Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success.

Hee Haw Laffs

The corn is as high as a donkey's eye in Hee Haw's Laffs. This breathless barrage of jokes, one-liners and zany bits will have you tripled over with laughter as the Kornfield Kounty comedy clan flexes its funny muscles. Want to see Roy Clark in drag? Just ask Royella, the local advice columnist. Silver-tongued rascal supreme Archie Campbell cuts up more than he cuts hair at the barbershop. Campbell and Gordie Tapp harmonize on the raspberry-flavored HEE HAW favorite "Pfft!

The Hee Haw Collection: Kornfield Klassics

Pickin' and grinnin', singin' and spinnin' tall tales and corny jokes, the citizens of Kornfield Kounty landed on television in 1969 with the arrival of Hee Haw. Each week co-hosts Buck Owens and Roy Clark and the cast of comedians and musicians would welcome the biggest stars in country music to perform their songs and help deliver the one-liners.

The Hee Haw Collection

Television's longest-running comedy-variety show brought us hilarious jokes from Kornfield Kounty along with country's biggest stars, into America's living rooms for over 20 years. Roy Clark and Buck Owens hosted the countrified ensemble show, pickin' and grinnin' and singin' and spinnin' with a talented cast of characters. Minnie Pearl, Grandpa Jones, Archie Campbell, and the rest of the Hee Haw gang traded knee-slappers and gut-busting one-liners in hilarious sketches including "Doc Campbell," "PFFT!

Kung Fu: The Complete Second Season

The adventure continues for Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine), a Shaolin priest trained in the wisdom and warfare of China's ancients and following his life's path in the American West of the latter 1800s. Caine still searches for his half-brother Danny. A dead-or-alive bounty still hangs over his head. Yet Caine remains calm and resourceful. "I live. I rest. I am at peace. It is good," he says. Good, too, is this 4-disc set of Season Two's 23 episodes whose many guest stars include Harrison Ford, Don Johnson, Slim Pickens, Gilbert Roland, Tina Louise, John Carradine and Benson Fong.
