The Sacketts
Louis L'Amour created a fascinating family when he wrote about the Sacketts. I've enjoyed reading Sackett books by him for years, intermittently taking the books down and re-reading them. When the movie The Sacketts came out years ago, I was so excited on one hand but just knew in my heart that nobody could bring the Sackett boys to life like their creator...but I was wrong. The movie, although it told a different story than the books, was just as fascinating and the characters so true to the original characters in the Sackett books that every time the movie came on television, I was right there watching it. I never have grown tired of watching this movie. Hence, when I found that it was on DVD, I made sure to get a copy so I could watch it any time I wanted, without waiting for it to appear on some obscure channel on television. I can now watch it at a convenient time, pause the movie and rewind it. If you love exciting, adventurous western drama, you'll love The Sacketts on DVD. By the way, while you're at it, why don't you get a couple of Sackett books by Louis L'Amour (also available on Amazon.com) and READ about them, too! Reading is the highest form of entertainment and will never go out of style, but the DVD is running a good second.
