Last Minute Sales & Specials

"The Warner Bros. Classic Holiday Collection Volume 1" includes "Boys Town", "A Christmas Carol", "A Christmas In Connecticut" and "The Singing Nun". "Boys Town" (1938): Today they grow up lawless on the streets. Tomorrow they're on Death Row. Father Edward Flanagan vows to break the cycle, putting his life where his faith is and starting a boys home that becomes a model of hope. Spencer Tracy brings shining inner strength to Flanagan in a performance that made him the first to win consecutive Best Actor Academy Awards(R) (Tom Hanks later matched that feat). "There is no bad boy," Flanagan insists. But brash troublemaker Whitey Marsh (Mickey Rooney) puts that credo to the test. Nominated for five Academy Awards(R) including Best Picture, this compelling movie earned a Best Original Story Oscar(R). "A Christmas Carol" (1938): A classic that's as integral a part of Christmas as lighted trees and mistletoe. Reginald Owen and Gene Lockhart star in this rewarding holiday treat. "A Christmas In Connecticut" (1945)" Journalist Elizabeth Lane is one of the country's most famous food writers. In her columns, she describes herself as a hard working farm woman, taking care of her children and being an excellent cook. But this is all lies. In reality she is an unmarried New Yorker who can't even boil an egg. The recipes come from her good friend Felix. The owner of the magazine she works for has decided that a heroic sailor will spend his Christmas on 'her' farm. Miss Lane knows that her career is over if the truth comes out, but what can she do? "The Singing Nun" (1966) (Bonus Disc): Musical about a talented Belgian nun with an uplifting singing style who wins a talent contest and lands a record deal, only to feel ill-prepared for her newfound fame and rekindled attraction to an old friend.
