I was wasting time next to Best Buy and discovered some curious NEW additions to the local dump bin--To Live and Die in LA, The Color of Money...but most interestingly, the Dolph Lundgren Punisher. In a keepcase. 4+ copies.

Apparently back in print...?

I've seen these too. They seem to be putting out a lot more new $5.50s in recent weeks. One store actually seemed to clean the bin out of old stuff to make room for the new stuff. I've also found:

Look Who's Talking
A Knight's Tale
First Knight
Honeymoon in Vegas
Batteries Not Included
The Longest Yard (original)
Simon Birch
Only You
Eve's Bayou
Bridge to Terabithia (TV version?)

Lots of other stuff too...

May have already been posted, but came across a $5.50 display this weekend of MGM/Fox titles:

Running Scared (Hines, Crystal)
True Lies
Red Dawn
Navy Seals
American Ninja
Blue Steel

Can't remember any others, but there were around 15 or so.

MovieExchange

Running Scared is a great blind buy. Absolutely hillarious.

Red Dawn is a good cheesy film, and it's a must for any movie history buffs as it was the first PG-13 film to be released (Flamingo Kid is the first to earn the rating, but it was released several months after Red Dawn).

I also saw a lot of classics, like Roman Holiday. I can't remember the other titles, but they were all packaged like Roman Holiday--part of the same series...

who's wally? Where does he live?

FangsFirst

Just in case anyone does in fact need this clarified, wally=Wal-Mart.

jimmaxmed

Wasn't "Roman Holiday" part of that 4.88 promotion they had just before Valentines Day ???

SteveA

I also picked up "Courage Under Fire."

kenbenobi

You might be right. I never looked at that display... Probably just leftovers from that sale they dumped into the bin...
My store was doing inventory today, and emptied the bin out. I saw the bottom!!! I was looking at DVD's I haven't seen in that bin in years!!! But I was in a hurry and didn't buy any...

Need to grab this since I can't find mine. Got The Punisher a few days ago and might go back for Death Warrent.

Josh-da-man

"Ooooh! Navy Seals!"

FangsFirst

Whew, I wasn't the only one thinking that.

TheMovieman

As always, look at the format (especially Paramount) as they might be Full Screen (I know The Hunted was).

Snowmaker

Really?! You sure it belonged there?

I've seen this display in 3 different stores and that was not among them.
Or are you talking about the dump bin?

David Levine

Yup. It's the same 2 discs as in the original Digipak version (meaning the 10 episodes and features), but they've been put into a double-hubbed 14mm amaray case. It also doesn't include the 2 Art Cards or the paper episode guide.

Snowmaker

I may have to look for that one. Don't feel like buying all the seasons . Thanks!

Was it in the $5.50 display or in the dump bin?

Premise

I seen several copies in the dump bin.

SteveA

I also remember seeing "Big Trouble in Little China."

Snowmaker

Hmmm, and I was just digging through one yesterday.

David Levine

It just went in this week, so it's possible some stores haven't "updated" their bins. Or they could be out of the initial ones they put in - it's been doing very well for them.
