FYI - Though COACH S1 is only $8 at Big Lots, but you can get COACH S1 & S2 as a bundle for $19.99 at Best Buy. Best Buy has a similar deal with SLIDERS S3 & S4 - when only SLIDERS Season 4 showed up at Big Lots.

It was a few months ago in my area, around the time The Girl on the Bridge and The Possession of Joel Delaney popped up. Most of the stores in my area haven't had any new Legend titles since then. I was out of town when I found most of them. We do have a store with a rack full of Heavy Metal 2000 Superbit, though...

I just bought:

White Countess

You can also get the Sliders S3/S4 2-pak at amazon for $22.49.

Looks like the new batch finally made it here. Picked up:

Groundhog Day
The Relic
Grosse Pointe (finally)
Being Julia

However, other than Grosse Pointe (and only 2 of those), I didn't see any new sets.

IN THE DARK

Another store recieved their Sony/Universal shipment yesterday. I was happy to add two more titles to the library; a western that had evaded me the last time around and one very pleasant surprise.

Whispering Smith 1949 w/Alan Ladd in Technicolor (Some of you were perhaps lucky to find this a few months back.)

We Were Strangers 1949 w/ John Garfield & Jennifer Jones (I have wanted to see this John Huston film for a long time. Boy, do I like finding these unexpected gems a lot, or should I say, a big lot!)

That'sAllFolks

According to multiple reviews on Amazon, this transfer is beyond pathetic. There is a restored vers. but hasn't hit BL yet.

Thank you. I didn't know if there was ever a WS for Stepmother ... into the return pile it goes.

I saw The War at Home Season One for $3 tonight at the local Big Lots. A search of the forums tells me this was common in stores last summer. I've been going to this Big Lots once a week for the past 3 months so I know it wasn't there in that period. I hope this is a sign that some of the other sets that were found last summer might be retuning. I doubt it but I can hope.

The Raynham, Mass. store had a few new titles this afternoon. Not a new display like you would hope, just crammed into the already over-crammed wire rack. Picked up...

Baghead
The Band's Visit
Bobby Deerfield
Buried Alive
The Fall
If Lucy Fell
Impact Point
In God's Hands
Past Midnight
Tortured
True Believer
The Wackness

echo_90

seen the new Big Lots AD Starting Saturday, April 24th and its just basically shows a few movies listed at the usual $3 like always (i guess no 4 for $10 this week like the cashier had told me last week) and the listed movies are the ones we been seeing forever like The Hurricane, Wimbledon and others of the same as always

Picked up So I Married An Axe Murderer and Scoop (Haven't seen it but there's a picture of Scarlett J. in a swimsuit on the back cover.)

Kory

I thoroughly enjoy Scoop. Woody Allen, Scarlett, and Hugh Jackman are all really good in it.

My Stepmother Is an Alien was among the first DVDs I bought in 1998 for the rock bottom bargain price of $15! At the time $15 was a great price compared to laserdisc and VHS, but in hindsight it's horrible.

And having the old DVD and having watched the P&S briefly, I remember the P&S version is badly cropped. If memory serves this was filmed in 2.35:1 Panavision, so don't take a non-LBX version which I think is all Big Lots has. It was uncool of Sony to repackage many of their DVD-10 flippers removing the letterbox version and only giving the "foolscreen" version... sometimes only open matte but sometimes badly cropped depending on the movie. Even worse was reading (more than once) that some people were buying Sony widescreen packages only to find a repackaged "foolscreen" DVD-5 inside. It would be good to open any of those repackaged Sony ones within 30 days in case you need to return it as defective (which it would be). I don't have a full list, but there must be one somewhere. I got the ones I wanted before they got repackaged. Good old Sony! DVD-5 is bad enough, but "foolscreen" DVD-5 is E-V-I-L (in my opinion).

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

I'm sort of regretting some of the questionable purchases I've made in the past few weeks at Big Lots during a severe dry spell (Bionic Woman and Get Real, to name a few.) But then it's impossible to foresee a great batch like this one.

BobO'Link

^If it's been less than 30 days, they're unopened, and you still have the reciept for those "questionable purchases" return 'em and get the ones you really want. If you don't have the reciept(s) ask about exchanges. They'll usually do this as long as it's the same price and type of purchase.

lordzeppelin

No shit? I've been looking to pick up that and "just one of the guys" real cheap...Gonna have to hit big lots tonight.

Backlog

That would certainly be an option if I didn't compulsively open everything as soon as I buy it. I have had success selling Big Lots movies off to the local record store, where I usually break even, so maybe I'll do that.

newginafets

OMG Secret Ballot, i would definitely pick that!

g

I got:
Sting 2
mike hammer double feature
Punchline
Bobby Deerfield
And Justice for all

MooMooMooMoo

Weird. I mentioned last week that 1 store told me they weren't allowed to put out there new dvd's until tomorrow because of a sale add!

So far today I've s/w 1 store & looked at another & it's mostly various versions of budget public domain box sets ($3, $4 & $8 price points) & some animae.

Bought a couple today..
