1.Cnn: Cold War (8pc) starring: Kenneth Branagh, Konrad Adenauer, Giovanni Agnelli, Harold Agnew, Muhammad Ali directed by: Tessa Coombs November 10, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $145.00
This is an excellent series, done in a similar style to the WWII documentary "World at War" (both were produced by Jeremy Isaacs--Ted Turner had seen that earlier program and asked Isaacs to produce a cold war documentary). Unfortunately it's never been put on DVD, and the VHS version has long been out of print, with used copies typically fetching over a hundred dollars. So if you want to see it and don't care too much about video quality, I recommend going to video dot google dot com and doing a search for something like "cnn cold war", or "cold war" plus a specific episode title--most or all can be found online.

2.Deadly Mantis (1957) starring: Craig Stevens, William Hopper, Alix Talton, Donald Randolph, Pat Conway directed by: Nathan Juran May 26, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.93
For my money, The Deadly Mantis is one of the better American monster movies of the 1950s. I really don't know why it is overshadowed even by the clearly inferior likes of Attack of the Giant Leeches, The Killer Shrews, and Giant Gila Monster (B&W). The Deadly Mantis follows the standard script, but it held off from showing the monster for over half an hour, allowing the military brains and scientists ample time to come up with a theory as to just what they were facing. Perhaps more importantly, the giant praying mantis looks pretty impressive - I'm not saying that people left the theatre believing that a giant mantis might pop up at any minute, but he's about one hundred times more realistic than the likes of the giant grasshoppers from Beginning of the End (Special Edition), even when he's ...
