"Dream", -like the "Rambo" films, -seems to have been "on sale" about three days a week for the last few weeks.

re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray
I've never seen the 2008 version. I already bought ID4 from Target for $6.99. So I can either:
1. Return ID4 to Target, keep the $17.88 2 pack, and never buy the 1951 version (skipping the extras).
2. Keep ID4 from Target, return the 2-pack, buy the 1951 version (which I thought was good but very slow and hard to watch) with its extras for $10 at Amazon, and wait for a better price on the 2008 version.
I'm still leaning toward #1 as I don't care about extras that much unless I really like the movie. I guess I missed my opportunity to rent the 2008 version at Redbox for $1 as they only keep the latest movies.

I bought the $17.88 2 pack of ID4 + The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) 3-disc edition with Keanu (whoa) Reeves at Sam's Club (unopened so I could still return it). I heard it comes with the 1951 movie minus the extras. Does anyone know if they took away all of the extras or just some? I couldn't find any reviews with details. Also, did they go from a 50 GB to a 30 GB Blu-Ray for the 1951 movie in the 2008 version? Too bad they couldn't have just included the complete 1951 disc in the 2008 version.

2) You mean a BD25. DVD Beaver is down so I can't see how much space the feature takes up; perhaps it's on a BD25, but I'd guess BD50. It doesn't really matter.

Keep ID4 from Target (since $6.99 for it is better than the $8.94 cost of it in the two pack), return the two pack (and forget about the inferior Keanu remake), print out the $3 off coupon for the 1951 version from the Smartsource website, go to Best Buy and get it (with all its great extras) there for only $6.99....

I'd go with choice #3:

Today is my last day of free Prime, so I'm hoping they have some new deals today!
Requiem for a Dream is in my gold box for $7.59. But I don't feel the need to upgrade it. I'll probably only watch it once...

It would seem that the $20 list price Lions Gate titles are going for $7.99 right now. Cutthroat Island and Ninth Gate are also $7.99.

Just snagged 'Angel Heart' in the nick of time - my prime trial literally expired not 5 minutes after placing the order. 
Or you could go with choice #4:
Pick it up at Best Buy for $4.99 using the Target coupon.
And someone even reported getting it for $1.99 at Target combining the two coupons and pricematching the Best Buy online price. Obviously that's a huge YMMV.

Sadly, not The Monster Squad though....$19.99 list price, still $11.99 at Amazon....I'd bite right away at $7.99, but not $11.99.....
