What Disney does to Grimm's Fairy Tales is far from the much darker originals.

One of the really great things about DVD being currently being "the medium" for movies is that VHS tapes are 25¢ and 50¢ at almost every thrift store and yard sale here.
I have picked up well over 400 movies on VHS this year and most are really fantastic classics from 'Gone With the Wind' up through the 1980's. The only two I've had to order through Amazon so far have been 'Oh God!' (George Burns) and a still-factory-sealed original of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show'. And at $4 each, they were bargains.

Command and control
Sun Tzu - Art of War
And on the appropriate date (-ish):-
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
Rule Brittania!
Forgive me, as a mere colonial, (tugs forelock) but what are we celebrating?

I believe so; reliable newspapers from that era are difficult to find.
