An absolutely true story
I love this movie and I purchased it from Amazon 13 years ago.But I need to get another copy. This is why.We lost the house in a fire (in the summer the town Fire Tanker had been to so many grass fires it was empty and the hydrant didn't work either???).After the fire I recovered a lot of DVD cases from the ruins. Many of them, after breaking open the fused cases, after cleaning could still be played. I was very impressed with the durability of DVD's though I went through a lot of resurfacing disks. Fortunately I don't buy DVD-R movies, all my photo editing backups were unusable on their DVD-R disks. (that type is at risk to heat and moisture).In fact of all the disks where the actual disk itself was still intact only two disks inside seemingly intact cases that even had readable cover art were unusable. Of these two movies the cases seemed to be completely untouched, slightly damp at most. So I was sure that both would be going back on the shelf. When I opened the case and examined the DVD inside I was shocked to see that the disk had become a clear plastic blank, nothing remained of the coating or the labeling. These were the only movies in the entire collection (800+) to show this effect.The titles of those two movies?The Hellfighters.Backdraft.Weird, but true.
