Moby Dick on DVD

Moby Dick (1956):
Consumed by an insane rage, Captain Ahab (Gregory Peck) has but one purpose in life—revenge on Moby Dick, the great white whale who maimed and disfigured him. Ahab uses his command as an excuse to sail the seven seas in an unrelenting search of his prey. Battling a mutinous crew, tropical heat and violent storms, Ahab finally catches up to his quarry and begins a confrontation that culminates in an epic struggle of non-stop fury…and inevitable doom.

Richard III (1995):
As the newly installed King Edward (John Wood) takes the reins of power, his ruthless brother Richard (Ian McKellen) sets in motion a monstrous scheme to claim the crown for himself. Richard embarks on a merciless, single-minded campaign of betrayal, seduction and cold-blooded murder to achieve the goal that has obsessed him all of his tortured life: to be king…at any price.

The Grapes of Wrath (1940)
After serving four years in prison, hotheaded Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) heads back to the family farm in Oklahoma. On his way he meets Casy (John Carradine), a former preacher who has lost his faith. The pair find the farm deserted; Tom’s family was evicted. Tom is reunited with his family at his uncle’s farm, only to discover the family must also leave that farm the next day. The family heads to California to look for work; however, their peregrination and experiences in California are not as promising as the Golden State originally seemed.

I cannot wait to see these three.  After I see these, I just know I will be heading to the store to get the rest of the collection!
