These are good sites to use, to find out for yourself if a film has received multiple releases on DVD.

Gremlins was the old edition. The first one. Lacking in extras, but in widescreen.

I picked up Bullitt. I noticed that most of the DVDs, if not all, are snapper cases. Perhaps an attempt by Warners to get rid of old inventory before keepcase reissues.

I'm guessing (and hoping) the new version of SUPERMAN (1978) will feature both the original theatrical cut (and sound mix) along with the expanded Director's cut with the new sound mix.

Snapper cases are DVD cases that are made of around 90% cardboard with a plastic locking mechanism that "snaps" the case shut at one side.

Snowmaker,
First I thought that this wasn't the SE, but it was. I picked it up tonight along with NBNW.
Thanks again!

The store I went to had these dumped in with all the old $5.50 titles, which made browsing something of a chore. I picked up Eyes Wide Shut, Interview With the Vampire, Best of Show and National Lampoon's Vacation for $5.50/ea. Not a bad deal. I was tempted to also get The Player (Robert Altman). I didn't see any Empire Records.
And oddly enough, Paula Abdul was there today signing American Idol DVDs. I was a little surprised to see her at Wal-Mart.

I ask someone in electronics and they said it was by the registers up front. After looking through the bargin bin, I was very disappointed. Then I look over and saw the new display with all the mentioned titles.
Dont look in the Bargin bin, look for a separate display for these new titles.
I hope that may help some people find these titles. I pick up NBNW (wanted that title for a long time) and 3 others that I can't think of at this time, Odd!
