$0.25ea. DVDs at Target
Dollar Section at the front of the stores has their previous season's merch. clearanced to 25 cents each,
Includes several DVDs in barebones paperboard boxes--most titles are public domain and common, but if you don't have a title like "His Girl Friday" with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, take that quarter out of your pocket and spring for it!

DVD Talk Limited Edition
I guess these are the ones I paid 1.00 for a couple of weeks ago. One disc had Whistle Stop and Detour on it. The other was Kansas City Confidential, a Dragnet episode and a cartoon and the other Was Lil Abner, an Andy Griffith episode and cartoon. They had quite a few others. Will have to check it out. Quality is not that great though.....

Are you sure that the public domain Last Man on Earth print is even better then the recent MGM Midnite Movies print? Because that is by far the best print that I have seen for that film.

DVD Talk Ultimate Edition
I just bought 8 of these tonight. Sadly, no "Last Man on Earth" There were also some crappy CDs and fairly lame computer programs for a quarter a piece.

It is SO good, IMO, that unless the MGM disc is anamorphic, there is no reason for me to buy it.

It'll cost you more than a quarter... but for a movie this good it's worth it.

I bought a bunch of stuff today from my Target including His Girl Friday, Whistle Stop, Detour, Kansas City Confidential, Life with Father, Little Princess, Angel and the Badman, Lawless Frontier, Sword of Lancelot, Nothing Sacred, Flying Dueces, At War with the Army, My Favorite Brunette, but could not find Last Man on Earth.
Could someone that bought Last Man on Earth please post all information available: what is the name of the collection it is in (all of these things have names like Standing Ovation or Mystery Theater), and the sku.
Thanks

The Stranger and Last Man on Earth are NOT going to be found during this sale. Those DVDs were clearanced out of Target months ago. I should know because I bought them on clearance. Those DVDs were made by Genius Entertainment, a disvision of Genius Products. www.genuisproducts.com
The current batch of cheap DVDs at Target were made by PC Treasures.
Edit: I found a link to the Genius Entertainment DVDs at Amazon.

Note that Amazon is wrong about the region code info, and that these DVD are all region.

Also, just checked my Genius DVD for McLintock, which looks to be in Widescreen, although a little worse for wear:

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
Out of curiosity, what're the cases like on these? The ones at my Target were all those cardboard-box cases (unlike any other cases I've seen). I'm wondering if I have a more "normal" case to look forward to once opening the cardboard box, or if that's all there is to it..

Basically, the DVD is wedged into a little cardboard "pocket" inside the box. Nothing fancy about it. What's worse, there's no insert either.

Ah. I'll probably be passing on them, then. I was hoping to get something comparable to the Wal-Mart $1 releases when browsing through the titles. I figured, "$0.25 a movie, I don't care what it is, that's a must-buy price for me." Then I saw that the cases wouldn't look good on my shelves, could easily get damaged just from opening and closing too often, and (I'd assume) could damage the discs...so I decided to check in here. Shame there's not a slimcase hidden away inside of that little cardboard box. If there was, I'd have bought something like 36 movies for $9. ;)

All of the $0.25 titles at my local Target were in paperboard boxes (as in, you could literally rip the case in two if you were so inclined). I was hoping for slim cases, as in...a mini-me version of the keepcases that most DVD's come in (like the ones in the Family Guy sets, King of the Hill sets, and so forth).
