Sent you a message.

Also spotted a few copies of Panic Room Special Edition (3-disc) at my local Big Lots.

Also picked up "Dead Birds". Blind purchase.

I got one of these today. The cashier ringing it up got all excited and went over and snagged herself a copy, too. There were only three of those. I got a few of the others already mentioned mostly blind buys. It's cheaper than renting.

Picked up

The Forgotten
Monster 2-disc SE
Philadelphia Annv. Ed
xXx Unrated Director's Cut

pretty good little flick imo. strange though. a weird mix of esoteric horror and western heist bloodbath...

The store in American Fork, Utah just got a new shipment of titles in. I picked up:

Being Julia
Closer
In Cold Blood
Panic Room (3-disc)
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

I'm thinking of going back and getting "Breakfast on Pluto" and "Where the Truth Lies".

Now I just want to find "Joyeux Noel", "Philadelphia" and "Stand By Me".

Are these $3 for the Sony's and $4 for the others?

Yes it was. I always list the wrong titles. That's my trademark.

Stand by me is really hard to find. Joyeux, they only had a few copies but more than stand by me, Philadelphia is easy to find.

Most DVDs in my area are gone. My closest BL had like 12 bins (and they arrived last week) and I don't think they can fill one bin anymore. Unbelievable.

All of the ones I mentioned were Sony/Columbia/Tristar and $3.
(I didn't mention getting the $4 supernova so I wouldn't get mocked ;))

Wish I could find Stand by Me as well.
And hopefully the "boxed" version of Legends of fall that's similar to it and the River Runs Through It "set" that also showed up at BL...

Additional Fox/MGM found today:
X2:X-Men 2 (FS)

Additional Sony:
In The Line Of Fire
Legends Of The Fall (not deluxe)
Mortal Thoughts
Whatever It Takes (SE FS)
Face Of Terror
Physical Evidence (OOP?)
Solo
Cliffhanger
Cops And Robbersons
Under Suspicion (Liam Neeson, not Hackman/Freeman)
Like Father Like Son

Just to note, I have seen this one (Hackman/Freeman) at BL, though I think it was 4.99.

The same local store which got the Spring sale table last week also got in a major restock of Sony titles this week.

In addition to a restocking of some of the older Sony titles (Batman serial, Dean Martin Double Feature, etc.), they got in almost all of the new Sony titles recently seen by FangsFirst and Basaro.

For a store which up until a week ago hadn't had any new DVD stock since Black Friday, this was quite a turnaround!

Here are some new titles I saw which I don't think had been previously posted (I'm sure there were other new ones as well - these are just the ones I can remember):

Songwriter (1984 - Willie Nelson)
Sheena (FS)
Suspect (FS)
The Cheap Detective (FS)
Casey's Shadow (Walter Matthau - FS)
Gigli
Face Of Terror (2003)
The Silencers (1966 - Dean Martin as Matt Helm!)

The copies of the Clint Eastwood movie In The Line Of Fire which I saw at this store were the old 1997 "Deluxe Widescreen Presentation" not the 2001 "Special Edition."

I picked up:

Panic Room (3-disc box set)
In The Line Of Fire (I know it's the older edition, but I liked the cover art on this one better than the newer release - which I'd already bought used - now I've got both)
Bitter Victory (1957 - Richard Burton, directed by Nicholas Ray)
Breakout
Brother
We Were Strangers (1949 - John Garfield, Jennifer Jones)
End Of The Affair (1955 - Van Johnson, Deborah Kerr, Peter Cushing)
The Statement
Zelary
The Silencers (1966)

I still have yet to see any of the $4.00 Fox/MGM titles in our area.

Found Winged Migration as well as a large box of other titles at the Eastgate Big Lots location in Chatttown

Yeah, that's been at BL before too, months ago. It is also a Sony title so it should only be $3 if you can still find it. I bought mine at BL sometime before Thanksgiving.

I didn't get Bitter Victory this time around because I believe it was fullscreen.

I also saw a bunch of the other new stuff you mentioned, but didn't find any of the titles I was really looking for: Panic Room, Winged Migration, In Cold Blood, Truth...N.M.

I only picked up:
The Statement
The Thin Red Line
Breakout
Grateful Dawg

From the Knollwood (St. Louis Park) Big Lots, these MGM/Fox titles, all $4:

Legally Blond 2
Far From Home
Paparazzi
Gangster Number 1
Fog SE
A Guy Thing SE
Flamingo Kid
Supernova ("including alt. ending, deleted scenes, r-rated version")
Wicker Park

Sony $3 titles were restocked, and they had at least six copies of these:

Iron Eagle
Sniper
Breakfast on Pluto
London
The Woods
Desert Heat
Being Julia
Wild Things 2
Second Chance
Charlie's Angels superbit
Pursued

I also saw a number of "thematic" two-packs from Direct Source Media at $4 per pack. Studio credit on the rear is "Freemantle", whomever they are. These all appear to be TV movies, some issued under different names:

Mortal Fear/Formula For Death
Talk To Me/The Penthouse
Death in Small Doses/Shattered Trust
Children of the Bride/Mother of the Bride
Ramblin' Man/Iron Cowboy (1968 Burt Reynolds)
Joshua's Heart/Going Home
Countdown: Sky on Fire/Great Los Angeles Quake
Opposites Attract/Baby of the Bride
Nightmare Street/Mind Prey
Our Sons/Fatal Love

Since I got DirecTV I find so many of the Columbia/Tri-Star/Sony titles showing on various movie channels I've pretty much given up buying the three dollar DVDs except for some older classics. Today I *did* pick up four of the Jay Ward animations at $4 each, all "volume 1":

Best of Mr. Peabody & Sherman
Best of Boris & Natasha
Best of Rocky & Bullwinkle
Best of Dudley Do-Right

Still no sign of the new $4 titles at any of the stores I've visited in the past week, but I finally found a copy of Planetes: Volume 1 to complete my collection. The shrinkwrap was trashed, but the case and slipcover were fine. Now, if only s-CRY-ed: Anime Legends Volume 1 would show up...

Amen, still hunting for that myself, but only finding Vol. 3's.

After a second sweep of the St. Louis (MO) area Big Lots, some stores got the Sony Pictures classics restock, some got the Sony Easter restock, and a few got a handful of MGM stock. Still no new anime (BOO!). Love the fact I can't find a Vol. 6 of IGPX for the life of me (along with s-CRY-ed 3-volume Anime Legends - Vol. 1, and Dan-Doh - Vol. 3).

Only things I picked up this time around were: Squid & the Whale for my girlfriend (who saw it for like $6 or so at FYE, and I told her it was $3 at Big Lots), and the sequel to "The Crimson Rivers," since the original was intriguing.

No, Bitter Victory is 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen.

^Cool, that's what I like to hear. :) Will check again tomorrow and grab it if it's still there.
That means I was thinking of a different title which was FS and not OAR, and I can't remember what it was. Not important anyway I guess.

My Big Lots got the Panic Room / In The Line of Fire $3 Sony shipment today. Also noticed some triple feature dvd's for $1, they all appeared to be 80's movies with big name stars, T.V.movies I assume in a standard keepcase.

I was going to pick up In The Line Of Fire but it is the old non-anamorphic disc. Not worth it at $3

Thanks for the heads-ups on the latest stock. Picked up Panic Room 3-Disc, Zelary, Blue Thunder SE, Sniper 2, End of the Affair (old version), Brother, In the Line of Fire, Flower of My Secret + two more that I can't remember right now. Would have gotten Winged Migration, but it sounded like a bad floater (end-to-end).

Ditto. My store up here did the same thing. The Goffstown store's Spring bin is rocking right now. :banana:
All the other titles I was looking for showed up today, except Stand By Me - still looking for that one.

I grabbed this today too. I had mistaken this for Cowboy when I mentioned it. Cowboy is FS and it's OAR is 1.85:1, so I passed on it.

^Good list.

Thin Red Line is a Fox title, not Sony. It's $4

I just picked up the In The Line Of Fire and although it does not say so on the package it is anamorphic. The upc code is 43396523197. I also got Fog W/S SE, Blue Thunder W/S SE, 007 The World Is Not Engough W/S SE.

I found She's Out of Control today for $3. :up:

"In The Line Of Fire" was one of Sony's first DVD releases, the disc I got at Big Lots appears to be a later printing (the ones made in 1997 had the "DVD" logo etched into the center of the disc) but it does still have the intro for the new format, which is cool to have if you don't already. "Legends of the Fall" probably has it too, if you can stand that movie.

I think that's OOP and fetching a decent price right now, good find!

and...

In The Line Of Fire is indeed anamorphic, the newer Special Edition also uses the same transfer according to one dvdtalk review.

That's the same edition of In The Line Of Fire (with same UPC code) which I had picked at Big Lots (the 1997 "Deluxe Widescreen Presentation," not the 2001 "Special Edition").

As you say the packaging does not indicate that it is anamorphic so I'm glad to have someone here confirm that it really is.

This version is actually listed on the old DVD Review list of anamorphic widescreen DVDs, which also notes that it is OOP (for the past seven years to be exact): "This disc has been discontinued on 3/13/2001 and is no longer available in retail stores."

Short Circuit 2 for $3.00

Has anyone else seen this one? I would love if it were confirmed and somehow manages to show up here!

Yes. I returned my copy, in fact :S

This ad will be in tomorrow's paper for $3, so you might want to go today if you missed these (or maybe attempt a pricematch elsewhere):

I hope my local Big Lots has the $3 DVDs especially the Panic Room one. I'm not holding out hope however since they have a really crappy selection. If it doesn't pan out , I'll be asking my friends in Grand Rapids to check out the 3 stores there. Here's hoping.....

My Big Lots in Bowling Green, KY has nothing. few dvds for children. Seems like a lot of missed deals for me.

Stopped by the closest Big Lots to me, Burien, WA...usually CRAP.
Today, TONS of Sony re-stock. They had one rack to easily browse through and one rack near check-out which was very poorly arranged on shelves. I hate that.

BUT...went for these, all for $3
Stand By Me (Deluxe) - they had a couple left
Godzilla (Monster Edition) - I may have got the only one
Casualties of War (Extended Cut)
Three Burials
Batman (1943 Serial) - I may have got the only one

Lots and lots of other stuff; most if not all of which has been named on this thread.

I just picked up the 3 disc SE of Panic Room, Black Hawk Down (theatrical cut), Breakout (Charles Bronson/Robert Duvall), and Bitter Victory (Richard Burton, directed by Nicholas Ray).

The last few months have been awesome as far as picking up some great stuff from Sony/Columbia/Tristar at Big/Lots!

I've picked up no less than 20 titles at $3.00 each!

And I saw The World is Not Enough SE, On Her Majesty's Secret Service SE, and Die Another Day (FS) at the Big Lots in Poway, CA. $4.00 each.

wow, what a pick today !!!!!

Takeshi Kitano's "Brother"
John Houston's rare classic "We were Strangers" *ING Jennifer Jones, featuring a rare on location shooting in pre-Castro Cuba.
Richard Burton's 'Bitter Victory'

Have been the best I picked in Big Lots so far

I had a good pull the other day...

3-Disc Panic Room
In Cold Blood
and
2-Disc MEMENTO Special Edition... You know, the blue one that looks like a file folder...

Haven't seen that one mentioned on here, so it was a pleasant surprise... but I've only read a few pages deep.

They also had a few bond flicks and a ton of anime... the store was in Douglasville, GA.
