Relive the royal wedding on DVD
“The Royal Wedding: William & Catherine”
The wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton was seen by a billion people all over the world. People are fascinated by the royal family, and many have followed William's life since he was born to Prince Charles and Princess Diana. This is the BBC Video, and you will get the entire ceremony, coverage building up to the arrivals at the church, and the events that followed. This video is beautifully produced and one for the ages.
“Le Mans”
Steve McQueen stars in one of the best racing movies ever made. Le Mans is one of the oldest endurance races in the world — a 24-hour race that tests the tolerance of the cars and the stamina of the drivers. Michael Delaney (McQueen) was involved in an accident at Le Mans that took the life of a fellow driver. He returns the next year to race, with the driver's widow looking on. There is lots of drama involved, but it is the legendary cars that steal the show. McQueen did most of his own driving, and the awesome cinematography will have you believing that you are watching an actual race. The film features 45 international racing stars.
“The Best of Dean Martin Variety Show”
The very popular “Dean Martin Show” ran from 1965 to 1974. The show was a lot of fun, and the viewers were always entertained.
