These two movies starring the dog from my childhood favorite TV series "Petticoat Junction" are passing the test of time with flying colors. It's not easy these days to keep your children entertained without letting them see the countless movies that feature terrific amounts of violence and sexual behavior. Back in the 1970's when these movies were first released into theater's there was no VCR or DVD home entertainment for the families on weekends or summer vacations. Parents used to drop the whole brood off at the neighborhood theatre for the double-feature. Tickets, popcorn, and drinks were affordable back then, you didn't need a $100 dollar bill for them to have a good time. I was a projectionist and theater manager and I did my best to get my owners to book all the G-rated fair that was available. We should bring those morals back for the young generations, it might make a better world in the future for them all.

Wow,I found this at K Mart for a measly $2.50,brand new!!! The films(Benji & For The Love Of Benji) are Full Frame transfers(they were probably filmed that way anyway!),and have adequate mono sound all on one single sided dvd from Gt Media,but that really doesnt matter with family films of this nature,as they were low budget films anyway! There are some familiar faces in these films though,the most unusual was Peter Bowles(A very underated British Actor mosly known for To The Manor Born and mostly recently his role on The Bank Job with Jason Statham!),other character actors also appear! Classic stuff indeed!!! A+

My 2 yr old granddaughter just loves the movies Benji and For the Love of Benji. She can tell my the music if Benji is happy or sad. We have enjoyed watching them many times.
