Mark your calendar for April 23^rd and 24^th if you love movies.

"Whether you are a serious student of the art of movie making or just a fan, you won't want to miss the unveiling of one of the world's great collections of DVDs, books, magazines, lobby cards, and publicity photos," according to Gary Walker, owner of The Great Escape.

The collection, which represents a lifetime labor of love to the late Neil Barker, Jr., will be offered for sale in a special two-day event at The Great Escape's West Nashville location at 5400 Charlotte Avenue.

Highlighting the collection are more than 8,000 DVDs, a large number of which are boxed sets. The selection is notable for its focus on the 1950s through 1970s classic films, as well as a wide array of television series from the same era. Many rarities and out-of-print titles are included.

Magazines, ranging from the 1940s to the present, also number in the thousands.  Popular fan magazines (with titles like Screen Stories, Movie World, etc.) are represented in large quantity, and a variety of esoteric titles on filmmaking and foreign publications contribute to the collection.

A huge selection of books features biographies of both actors and directors, genre-specific titles, scholarly critiques, and more.


Overwhelming in both size and content, the Neil Barker, Jr., Movie Collection will be offered for sale Saturday, April 23^rd from 10 am to 9 pm and Sunday, April 24^th from 11 am to 7 pm.
