Track down the OOP UK Blu. No extras, but the best A/V IMO & no DNR.

I have the HD DVD German Steelbook of T2. Looks quite nice. And the movie does, too.

Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray

I bought Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mystery Science theater 3000 XVI limited edition and it said "This purchase qualifies you for a certificate valid for one admission to see the movie "A-Team", "Knight & Day", or "Predators" through August 31, 2010 at participating theaters. When your item ships, we will send you an e-mail with instructions to redeem.

So I think it was Mr. and Mrs smith that made it qualify but I couldn't find anything about it.

Isn't A Scanner Darkly being re-released in September though with, I assume, High Definition audio?

According to the Digital Bits, it's the exact same BD released in 2007.

Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray

Kelly's Heroes/Where Eagles Dare is now up to $24.99 at Amazon. Full list price. I swear the one I want is the only disc they have with absolutely no discount off MSRP. Snooze ya lose. I should have ordered it at $9.99 but I balked at finding something else to get free shipping and by then it was too late.

I waited too long as well.

But I try to never have the 'needing other items to get free shipping' excuse again. No, I don't think Prime is worth the $, but I try to always keep 12 or so low priced 'sort-of-want' DVDs or household necessities in my saved-for-later cart at all times. Then, when I want to act on a DVD/BD deal, I just add a couple of those over to get to $25.

A lot of studios will be doing this. I don't see many going back and adding lossless unless it's being re-releases for a new sequel/remake. Mission Impossible is a likely canidate when 4 comes out.

Movies get re-released all the time. New Coverart, Tie-ins, free tickets etc. They don't always have to change the disc in anyway.

I do the same thing and did manage to snag Kelly's Heroes/Where Eagles Dare for $9.99; it arrived yesterday.

Edit: Watched Kelly's Heroes last night, for the first time in many years. It was fun, I had forgotten that
Spoiler:
they become "heroes" in the view of the general because their bank heist leads to a major push through the German lines, which was amusing.
Certainly worth the $5.

Never seen KH..and damn does it have a very fun intro. Love it like crazy. I'd never seen it but always wanted to. Now to see Where Eagles Dare...

You're in for a treat with Where Eagles Dare -- Richard Burton is the real kickass action hero in that one, with Eastwood taking on the silent sidekick role. Great movie.

Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray

Both very good movies. KH is not an action/comedy but there are some humorous characters in there with Don Rickles and Donald Sutherland. Where Eagles Dare has a character that you're not quite sure who's side he's on.

I buy so few any more I don't have very many on my wishlist. The few others I wanted were in my birthday list for my wife so I had to be careful what I ordered.

Ditto here, but with film books. I've got about two dozen in my save-for-later cart. They're usually 30% off anyway. I ordered Gattaca for $9.99 last night, and it's back up to $15.49 now, so that was a close call there.

Eagles is the best world war II movie!

I forgot about the sale. Guess it doesn't matter since I still have the original Gattaca DVD. Such an under appreciated movie. It's just a matter of time before it get's back down to $9.99 again.

Gattaca can be found nearly everywhere for 9.99 or less. I've seen it for $9-$10 within the last week at Target, FYE, Costco...

Yeah, I just have to stop debating whether to double dip on this one.

Still at 9.99 at Target.. at least until tomorrow. Not sure when the TPC ends.

I think the current round has 7/10 as the end date.
