So I went to Burlington Coat Factory today and I looked and there were some movies. Low and behold... the 3 disc of Gladiator for 6.99 also the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 disc with the metal faceplate. The rest were not as great of buys, but still a few good movies.

Lost In Translation
the Untouchables
the Wedding Crashers, I believe

A few more I can't remember the name. If you have one near you, you might as well take a look.

Didn't McDonalds do a DVD deal a few years back? I remember them selling The Aadams Family movies for $5 with purchase. Also Pizza Hut did a DVD deal with the purchase of a Pizza deal, I got Mr. Mom & Honeymoon In Vegas from PH

My favorite was getting them in my cereal boxes.

Ultra-cheap? There's a 20% off any one item coupon in the Burlington "Summer Savings Event" supplement in Sunday's (4/27) newspaper.

Zen Peckinpah

That was in the VHS days back in Christmas 1993 IIRC. Got Charlotte's Web through this offer when I was like 6 or so.

Also got Back to the Future through a Universal (then MCA/Universal) promo at another time.

Also got Back to the Future VHS through McD's

Actually my local Sunoco has movies. It was right around the time Clerks II was brand new to DVD and it was only 9.99.

Might want to check that out too, but YMMV.

My Other Self

Me too. Autumn of 1993 I believe..

I remember McDonalds also had Ghost on sale in the early 90s if you bought a certain meal.

I got Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey via Pizza Hut in 2003...and something else too, I think Weekend at Bernie's.

Snowmaker

I got Wayne's World

I got all the indiana Jones VHS back then for $5 a piece. A great price at the time.

uhh, i dont know where you guys shop, but most convenience stores have sold dvds for a few years now. i mean, pretty much all major chains.
i cant recall ever seeing anything dvd-wise in a convenience store worth buying... and more often than not they appear to be resealed versions of 6-month-old releases (probably sold to them by Blockbuster or something).

I've seen 'em around for a while too. Priced double what they should be and titles that I'm never looking for, but I guess they are "convenient".

Went to BCF to see if I could get lucky and find Gladiator and made the mistake of asking an employee where they keep their DVD's. I had been to this particular store about a week earlier and they had a small cardboard display of your run of the mill $9.99 titles next to the front registers.

When I went in this time, it wasn't there so I "thought" I would save some time and see where they had moved it. "We don't have DVD's" was the answer I got. I thought maybe they had sold out(although I was perplexed at how this had happened with the generic, overpriced stuff I had seen) and before I could stop myself, I asked "none at all?". She said "nope, none." I thanked her and turned to leave, going through the registers instead of around the edge of them and there were TWO cardboard displays of DVD's.

I wish I could say that I found the copy of Gladiator for which I was looking, but this isn't a happy ending story. Just a story about how I was stupid enough to ask a store employee for any kind of information. I'm at the point now where I wonder why they don't just put a guard at the door, security stickers on ever single item and make stores self-checkout. It's an absolute waste of money to hire these mouth breathers to "work" there.

Hit the nearest BCF and no luck with Gladiator. They had 3 cardboard displays by the register. Some of the titles I remember seeing...

About Schmidt
Anchorman: Unrated
Born on the Fourth of July (latest version)
Brewster's Millions
Connie and Carla
The Last Kiss
The Mask
Mission: Impossible II (2-Disc Set)
Mission: Impossible III (single disc)
Smokey & the Bandit (original)
Stepford Wives (remake)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Platinum Series (remake)
War of the Worlds (Single Disc)
Wedding Crashers

Some were widescreen, some were fullscreen only.

JoeyHorror

Yeah, that was about what was at mine as well. I'm glad you remembered the names, I forgot most of them.

I made the rounds today and hit some new stores, this being one of them. Saw most of the titles listed here, there were two cardboard racks (one in each register aisle) and all marked $6.99. Also saw some other titles, but can't remember. EDIT: remembered one... Catch Me If You Can

Didn't find Gladiator 3-disc there, BUT i did find it at A.J. Wright for $4.99! Good day, these sweet deals are popping up everywhere.
