I didn't want three movies, I wanted one movie

See this?



I had to buy a set of three movies in order to get the ONE I wanted (Dragonwyck). I've never heard of the other two and I don't have an interest in seeing them. I'm so frustrated by the fact that Dragonwyck isn't sold individually that I uploaded it on Viddler tonight because it's an amazing movie and people should be able to see it without having to buy movies they don't really want to see.
I just finished reading Dragonwyck by Anya Seton the other day. It was really, really good. Better than the movie. The story was changed quite a bit for the film, especially the ending. That doesn't take away from how beautiful the movie itself is though. I love black and white films and the use of shadow in them. And there's also the fact that Vincent Price is in it, which is the reason I watched Dragonwyck to begin with. I grew up watching his movies...I can't even remember a time when I didn't know who he was. He was so charismatic and handsome, and truly a fine actor. Dragonwyck is the perfect example of how talented he was.
