Crap- I STILL haven't finished watching all the Anchor Bay titles I got at Suncoast about 4 years ago for $6.99 (later lowered to $2.99), then a year later picked up a bunch at K-Mart for $6.99, now I'm gonna get a buttload more that I'll never have time to watch!!!

Well, no luck for me. They had some crappy Public Domain stuff and a triple feature with Maniac Cop III for 3.29 but no Anchor Bay. I'll have to try one of the bigger stores across town.

I'll have to check that out tomorrow even though I've never heard of any of those titles except Tapeheads. What would you guys/gals recommend?

I'm wondering this too. The only recommendation I can make is The Ladykillers. Excellent film, can't BELIEVE it's this cheap!

OC and Stiggs is a Robert Altman film based on two characters from the old National Lampoon magazine. I saw it on HBO a long time ago and I remember it being kind of funny. I'd pay 3.29 to see it again.
Dead-End Drive-In is a post-apocalyptic Australian film that is trying to be like Mad Max. It was kind of dumb, but again it's cheaper than renting.
Clockwise is a John Cleese movie that I didn't like.
The Alec Guinness version of The Ladykillers is much better than the remake, but it's pretty dated (late 50's, Early 60's).

Those (and Tapeheads) are the ones I've heard of

If RUNNING TIME is what I think it is, it's a pretty good little C-grade Bruce Campbell thriller, complete with Campbell commentary.

What the...

I would have sworn I saw that on one of the lists, yet they don't appear to have been edited. I must have been hallucinating.

I got Running Time for 99 cents during a Suncoast Anchor Bay clearance about five years ago.

Checked at the Big Lots! near me, and no AB titles, but did find some cool "Freddy's Nightmares" VHS's(I know, I know, it's anitquated - but it's the only way to see these) for $2 a piece. Cool by me.
