went threre to pick up Secret Lives of dentists and maybe once a thief. Couldnt find either of those but picked up:
*Returner
*Time and Tide
*My Wife is An Actress
for only $2 each.
Not a bad deal at all.
This was actually the first purchase Ive ever made from Big Lots even though it is only a half mile away from my home.

My Big Lots is generally is disarray and absolutely NONE of the titles listed in this thread are there. NONE! But I'll keep checkin'. Thanks for the heads up...

Peep 08-04-07 10:31 PM

The Culver City Big Lots had nothing. And it was almost out of the brand-x studio titles and $1 cardboard-boxed titles that they used to have.

Picked up a stack today at the Taylor, MI store, most of which I had not seen before in any stores in my area. Here's the list:

Good Bye Lenin $2
Returner $2
Tube $2
Spider $2
New Best Friend $2
Borderline $2
Tip Toes $2
Splendor $3
The Blackout $3
Young Adam $3
Click $4
Alexander: 2-Disc DC $4
Imagine (John Lennon): Deluxe Edition $4
Iron Giant: Special Edition $4

They also had many more WB & Columbia titles priced at the $4 mark. Some that I can make out from a poor camera phone picture are:

Bullitt (1-disc)
Stand and Deliver
A Cinderella Story
Terminator 3
Starsky & Hutch
The Outsiders (1-disc)
Space Cowboys
Arthur
All the President's Men (1-disc)
The Bodyguard (not SE)
Cheaper by the Dozen 2
Fahrenheit 9/11
Christmas With the Kranks
The Whole Ten Yards
Fun With Dick and Jane (Carrey)
The Pink Panther (Martin)
American Outlaws
Matrix Revolutions
Falling Down
Above the Law
Dog Day Afternoon: 2-disc SE
Giant: 2-disc SE

Those last two are a GREAT deal IMO. Too bad I already got them during that Best Buy deal a while back.

docdoowop 08-05-07 03:37 PM

Four bucks for those last two is a great price. Looks like I'll have to do the three-store trifecta tomorrow.

Chad 08-05-07 04:38 PM

Picked up:

-What To Do In Case of Fire
-Returner
-The Devil Commands (Karloff)


Unfortunately Hard Eight and Le Dernier Combat were nowhere to be found.

Add the 2 Fright Flicks movies on 1 DVD to $2 ones:
Tequila Body Shots / The Curve
The St. Francisville Experiment / Cut
Corrupt/ Mean Guns

JAYARE 08-06-07 12:58 PM

did anyone else find any WB & Columbia titles? i looked in 2 stores in CO and couldnt find any on the dvd/game/cd stand.

chris_sc77 08-06-07 01:37 PM

no WB at mine.

cfloyd3 08-06-07 02:15 PM

I got Spider and What to do in case of fire

I remember some things like Sideways, Fever Pitch, Manchurian Candidate (new), Saw 2, The Grudge, The Forgotten, Red Eye, among others. Nothing I was too intrigued by. I was hoping to see The Iron Giant there.

basaro 08-06-07 02:28 PM

I am still looking for a copy of Spider if someone can pick one up for me. I have a thread in the exchange forum too.

My local stores seem to have a decent amount of stuff, I could probably pick something up for anyone that wants to do a trade. I will probably swing by again this week and check it out again...

printerati 08-06-07 03:56 PM

basaro, I saw Spider not long ago. I may be going by that same store tonight, and I'll snag it if I see it.

Brent L 08-06-07 04:07 PM

I saw Spider for $3 at a Dollar General just earlier today.

Tequila Body Shots is actually not that bad of a movie. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

basaro 08-07-07 07:46 PM

I will be swinging by the crappy Big Lots tomorrow to check it out.
Then on Thursday, I will be going to the good Big Lots, so yeah if anyone is looking for something to trade for Spider or Baaaaadass, let me know what yer looking for! I'll see what I can find.

And of course if someone is hard up for something like I am for Spider, let me know and maybe I can help out.

Cheers :beer:

Quatermass 08-08-07 11:09 AM

Went to mine last night, it did not look like they had anything new, but it seems like it usually takes a week or so after I read something here before it shows up there.
They did have a lot of crappy Six Flags Souvenirs including at least 3 different statuettes of that creepy old dancing guy they used to have in their ads a few years back. I guess they bought all the surplus from their gift shop. Now I'm sure you will all have that stupid song stuck in your head all day like I do - sorry.

hilts 08-08-07 12:43 PM

Went by a Big Lots I seldom go to (because they actually open all their DVD cases and hold the disks at the counter). Just a few 2.00 Sonys, nothing of note. Might try another a little out of my way after work tonight.

You're kidding! They go to all that trouble for $2 DVDs? People actually steal them in numbers great enough to justify that expense/hassle?

Rendle 08-08-07 01:19 PM

They opened mine at the register to check if the disk was there.

Nope, not kidding! Cracks me up. rotfl At least no other BL's here have followed suit.

Wahoo! I found Spider tonight for $2 at the "good" store. Finally :)

There wasn't a whole lot else new I noticed, but they had another copy of Zhou Yu's Train.

So, now I'm still looking for Baaaaadass and also now Le Dernier Combat for someone else and myself.

There wasn't much new for new movies, but they have now started stocking Pre-Viewed dvds, which are selling for $5. They all were in excellent shape, shrinkwrapped back up and looked like they were never even used. But they had no security stickers, so they must've been used. Perhaps a case of stock that was only opened and never used? Not sure, I don't buy used anymore.

But among the used dvds were:
Fever Pitch
The Grudge
Red Eye
Exorcism Of Emily Rose
Fahrenheit 9/11
Sideways
Xmas with the Cranks
Saw 2
Fun w/ Dick and Jane

I've seen some of these listed in other posts before too, so not sure if they are all used or some are also showing up new too.

Enjoy the hunt!

I'll bet those used ones were acquired from Hollywood Video Rental stores - those are the exact titles they were selling for .99-3.99 a while back.

Ah, damn...should have read this thread again before I went to the store today. I picked up an extra copy for you. I do have mint (watched once) copies of Baadasssss! and Le Dernier Combat if you're interested, though. ;)

I spotted a few new titles today, including SCTV: Disc 1 (which only contains the first two episodes of the Volume 1 box set) for $2.00 and Falling Down for $4.00. I picked up the 2-disc Step Into Liquid for $2.00, which I had never seen in stores before.

hilts 08-14-07 11:21 PM

Stopped at the same store where I scored nine 2.00 Sony/Columbia/Tri-Stars two weeks ago and they are restocked again. Picked up:

Good Bye Lenin!
Home Room
The Debut
3-Way
Crush
Tip Toes

There were a bunch more I already have. Guy at the counter said I came at a good time, they had just restocked yesterday (think he recognized me from last time). Anyway, they're still out there some places.
