That's a great price on Kontroll. Hope one of my local Big Lots has it.

FangsFirst

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.

The Valeyard

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.

Ken Cline

I think it's really a crap shoot. All stores may not get the same titles. All my stores had lots of 1st & Tens. One of the last stores I went to had almost every DVD that I already got from previous stores. If I knew that I would have just went to that one store

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.


Exorcist: The Beginning - $5.00. Saw this at 2 of the 12 stores I went to.


Hanky Panky (Gene Wilder & Gilda Radner). I saw this at several stores. I may get it later.


The White Countess - $7.99.


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.


Hostage - $5.00. Only one store had this.

Perkinsun Dzees

I also saw these titles for $2:

















And for $4.99:



But the UPC had been defaced.

Ken Cline

Wow, I haven't seen any of those. Thanks for the info.

mattress_man

I assumed it would be this way, but I went to four Big Lots in the area (Richardson, Plano, Allen, McKinney) and they all had decent selections with several of the titles mentioned in this thread. The McKinney and Allen locations probably had the best variety.

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


Fingers - $4.99


Myra Breckinridge - $4.99


Jackpot - $3


I looked for Spider and Sunshine State but couldn't find either.

creekdipper

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).

moklerman

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?)
