Dad can create his own old-time Saturday night at the movies with a few classic westerns, a 1930s mystery series and some more modern feature films for the main event.

Of course you remember Tarzan and Jane, but after he got thrown out of the family tree, Johnny Boy Sheffield started washing out his own loincloths to star in the Bomba the Jungle Boy series.

This is a fun collection of six films (Bomba the Jungle Boy Volume One 1949-51) that relies heavily on stock animal footage (Oh, look at the grazing giraffe. Here comes an impala) but is entertaining nonetheless.

Bomba gets into all kinds of adventures and even finds a girlfriend in the wild in some of the outings. Oh those wild jungle days (and nights).

The set includes:

Bomba, The Jungle Boy (1949), Bomba on Panther Island (1949), The Lost Volcano (1950), Bomba and the Hidden City (1950), The Lion Hunters (1951), Elephant Stampede (1951).

All six films have been restored nicely and are available from the Warner Archive Collection online.

Make it an old-fashioned double feature (make that multiple double features) with the Nick Carter Mysteries Triple Feature, featuring Walter Pidgeon as detective Nick Carter, a 1930s super sleuth.

Pidgeon is still early in his career here (before teaming with Greer Garson in Mrs. Miniver and way before he went to the Forbidden Planet.

The three films here(also from Warner Archive) are from 1939-40.
