That's a great price on Kontroll. Hope one of my local Big Lots has it.
|
One more store to check whilst I pick up my girlfriend later today.
Here's hoping for a copy of Spider!! |
You people are killing me. My New Years resolution is not to go over spending $100 a month in 2007. I tried this every year since 1999 and have not been able to do it. The only time I did was in 1998 (about $800) but it's not like there was much out there to buy that I wanted. It's still 2006 but I already went pass $200 for December.
|
Hard Eight! Grrrr. Gotta hit my local Big Lots now!
|
Man, Big Lots is really the king of YMMV. Went to two in our area & they had almost nothing of interest (already had 1st & Ten), but a third had about 75% of the titles that have been posted (one of each title). Strange. You don't know whether the other stores didn't get any of these or if they were cleaned out before Christmas. Anyway, don't give up if at first you don't succeed.

Some other titles I saw but didn't buy: Titus (2 disc) - Anthony Hopkins. Only 1 store had this. I bought this one years ago. http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/16116.jpg Exorcist: The Beginning - $5.00. Saw this at 2 of the 12 stores I went to. http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/649807.jpg Hanky Panky (Gene Wilder & Gilda Radner). I saw this at several stores. I may get it later. http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/443610.jpg The White Countess - $7.99. http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/1047732.jpg The Kid Stays In The Picture - $4.99. Most stores had this one. I really wanted this one but $5 was more than I wanted to pay for it. Plus, it's in a snapper and most of them were beat up pretty bad. http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/533497.jpg Hostage - $5.00. Only one store had this. http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/680849.jpg |
I also saw these titles for $2:
http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/590707.jpg http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/49351.jpg http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/44627.jpg http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/35598.jpg http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/459931.jpg http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/539348.jpg http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/22846.jpg http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/44628.jpg And for $4.99: http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/580966.jpg But the UPC had been defaced. |

picked up: Hard Eight - $4.99 Fat City - $3 $2 - Le Dernier Combat, The Secret Lives of Dentists, Me Without You, Bonjour Tristesse, World Traveler, The Loves of Carmen, The Mother, The Lady and the Duke. and some titles not mentioned yet: Bad Lieutenant (NC-17) - $4.99 http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/3127.jpg Fingers - $4.99 http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/443655.jpg Myra Breckinridge - $4.99 http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/580821.jpg Jackpot - $3 http://images2.dvdempire.com/gen/movies/41356.jpg I looked for Spider and Sunshine State but couldn't find either. |
Just when you think you've found them all...somebody comes along & posts another batch! Now I have to stop next week when I'll be traveling to a large city in our state that has several Big Lots.
Seriously, Perkinsun & others who update the posts...I (and undoubtedly everyone interested in these bargains) appreciate the info. These look like a lot of the Columbia titles that have been on sale recently at DDD & other places for around $6...but there are some really good movies here, especially the foreign fare. Dark Blue World is a great WWII aviator movie, for example. The Lady & the Duke is an interesting Eric Roehmer film...most of the outdoor sets of French Revolution-era Paris are computer-generated, making it look as though the actors are in the middle of a Romantic painting (unsettling effect). Time & Tide is fantastic Tsu Hark action film. Too many other good titles to comment on. In case no one else mentioned these, I also found CYBORG OO9 (anime) & JAPANESE STORY (w/ Toni Collette). |
I'd given up on finding At Last the 1948 Show, but stopped in on a whim last night. Found two copies. It's always when you quit looking. LOL.
Anyway, I also picked up: Le Dernier Combat The Loves of Carmen Camouflage (strike one: Fullscreen. strike two: Blind Buy. Vanessa Angel...okay, I'll take a shot.) 1st & Ten the Complete Series (someone mentioned this isn't the original version as presented on HBO, which it doesn't look like it is but it does state "Contains some nudity and adult situations". When/where was it ever aired other than HBO?) |
Stolen from mcarver's list of OOP titles, here's what we might be finding at Big Lots for $2 & $3:

La Mentale) Haiku Tunnel Mystic Masseur Pact Of Silence Raising Victor Vargas Solomon And Gaenor Son Of The Bride Soul Assassin Subway & a Jackie Chan cartoon All were $2 They also had several Spanish language titles & a whole row of 1st & Ten. |
