Big Lots now has a ton of $5.88 DVDs

I was at the local Big Lots today and they've added a ton of $5.88 DVDs. They look like a pretty good mix of stuff Wal-Mart has on sale for $5.50 - Eye of the Beholder, Stephen King's Sleepwalkers, Fortress 2, etc. This might be a good deal for someone who doesn't have a Wal-Mart nearby.

"When they're gone, they're gone!"
Do they still say that over the PA system there?

How were they displayed? It might be worth an extra 38¢ to not have to dig through the bin.

Seriously. Ive only been to walmart once to look for cheap dvds and that was it. The big bin has to be one of the worst ideas for putting a product out ive ever seen. I only wanted return of the pink panther and it was probably buried at the bottom.

Stopped by our local store today and they had a bunch of`low budget movies on DVD for $3.99. The only ones I remember are a Matrix rip off starring Yasmine Bleeth and some of those stupid laugh track movies where they ruin classic movies like Night of the Living Dead.

What are "stupid laugh track movies"? Is it anything like MST3K?

I thnk he's talking about a line of releases where they took public domain films and redubbed them with a completely new set of lines. Done well, it can be pretty funny. Kind of like Kung-Pow, but not as high-budget.

Thanks. Sounds like the great old late night Nickelodeon series "Mad Movies". I will definitely look for those.

Many of those same public domain titles are available in DVD from
Pathmark for under $4. They usually have a bin in the drug store area. Some stores are better stocked than others and different stores have different titles.

Yes, that's what I meant. I had read about them a few months ago on here. I think they added (c)rap music, laugh tracks and had guys doing voice overs or commenting on the movies.

The only thing I saw at Big Lots that was interesting was something called , '' Attention Shoppers ". The DVDs are set up like the K Mart bargain's......in a carboard box, maybe 20 - 30 discs at my store.

The new Big Lots circular shows the following titles for $5:

The Fan
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Peggy Sue Got Married
Last Action Hero
Casualties of War
Muppets in Space
Godzilla (1998)

When I visited the store last week they only had about 20 DVDs. The only one that even remotely tempted me was Eye of the Beholder. I ended up leaving with a $2 VHS of Prick Up Your Ears.

I've actually been looking for those! I watched a Bruce Lee one and it was hysterical! I've been wanting to see the NOTLD one but have never seen any of them around. Defintiely worth $4 of laughs (and they do include the regular soundtrack if you just want to watch the movie).
