What new PV titles does BlockBuster have lately?

I'm looking for Forrest Gump and The French Connection. Hopefully they'll be at $9.99. (probably not though)

I hope it's soon. I've got a $10 Gift Card I've been waiting to use. Keep us informed.

According to threads on the bargain forum, the next sale begins on 11/6 and goes to 11/26 if I remember correctly.

You probably won't see either on the PVD rack. Never count on BB for older movies that are recent DVD releases. BB rarely stocks more than 2 or 3 copies and they don't usually reach the PVD shelf.

Unfortunately now they also cannot be counted on for WIDESCREEN releases of newer titles either as they will only carry fullscreen if both a wide and full version are available (e.g. Mummy Returns, Cats and Dogs, etc.)

Silence of the Lambs was a notable exception to the older movie rule but since both full and wide were released, BB only stocked full

Yes the next PRP $2 off sale is 11/6-11/26. I guess they dont wanna use the pre-viewed term anymore. Now its PRP (Previously rented product) As far as new titles, along came a spider, knight's tale, blow, and mummy returns (though full screen ). I'll let you know if i hear anything else.
