In addition to titles mentioned in the previous posts, I saw these at our Big Lots:
Titles For $2.00 (Hearst Entertainment/Starlight): Lip Service (aka "Out Of Sync") (2000 - Kari Wuhrer, Gail O'Grady) The Truth About Jane [2000 - Ellen Muth (From "Dead Like Me"), Stockard Channing] Titles For $3.00 (Columbia TriStar/Sony): Divorce American Style (1967 - Dick Van Dyke, Debbie Reynolds) Fire Down Below (1957 - Robert Mitchum, Jack Lemmon, Rita Hayworth) The Gene Krupa Story (1959 - Sal Mineo, Susan Oliver, Yvonne Craig) Hellcats Of The Navy (1957 - Ronald Reagan, Nancy Davis) The Marrying Kind (1952- Aldo Ray, Judy Holliday) Music In My Heart (1940 - Tony Martin, Rita Hayworth) Ruby (1992 - Danny Aiello, Sherilyn Fenn) Anamorphic Widescreen There's A Girl In My Soup (1970 - Peter Sellers, Goldie Hawn) For $4.99 (Columbia TriStar): Mercy - Extended International Version (2000 - Ellen Barkin, Peta Wilson) Unfortunately, the only copy of Mercy I saw at Big Lots was the single-sided 2004 Full Screen-only reissue. There had been a previous release in 2000 which had both the US edit and the Extended International Version in Anamorphic Widescreen on a double-sided flipper disc. This was one of several films such as The Deep, Sheena, and Bite The Bullet, which Columbia reissued in 2004 in Full Screen-only after having previously issued them in widescreen/full screen flipper versions - a practice which never made a lick of sense to me. |

Some of these like Haiku Tunnel, Secret Ballot, & others seem to be on either IFC or Sundance fairly regularly, but I always miss them - partly because my digital cable leaves a lot to be desired. |
Went to a BL that usually carries alot of dvds but they only had the same old junk titles and nothing "new"...
I'll try a different one today... |
Stopped by this morning and found:
Le Dernier Combat $2.00 World Traveler $2.00 The Secret Lives of Dentists $2.00 Jackpot $3.00 The Right Temptation $4.99 |

I was able to pick up : Twin Falls Idaho Tiptoes ( Oldman, McConaghey, Beckinsale, and P. Arquette ) Raising Victor Vargas My Wife Is An Actress Haiku Tunnel All for $2 each. Thanks to everyone for posting about the selection. |
The available titles on dvd seem to vary at each store. There are not that many on dvd. I went to several of them today and they had different titles. One had George Stevens A Filmmakers Journey on dvd, while the other two didn't. One only had 1st and 10 complete season dvd. I couldn't really find some of the titles mentioned earlier on dvd. I was looking for The Horsemen because I was curious to see it. I did pick up the George Stevens Journey dvd though.

Have been to 3 over the past few days. Did not see most of the titles listed, but found a copy of Nina Takes a Lover for $3.

Went to a 2nd Big Lots yesterday & picked up
Angels Over Broadway for $3 & Me Without You, Twin Falls Idaho, & The Loves Of Carmen for $2 each. Also saw: Hanky Panky ($3) Man & Boy (Bill Cosby) ($3) The Pickle ($3) The Governess (Full Screen) Japanese Story Peep Show Charlie's Angels Broken Wings Music In My Heart & a few titles I saw at the previous store |
Went to another BL and they had almost no dvds but I did manage to pick up:

Autolycus, or anyone else, willing to pick up a copy of Lip Service for me? I can pay with PayPal and am willing to look for other titles at my local (3) Big Lots if you have something in mind. Thanks.
|
Anyone that purchased Pauline & Paulette or Son of the Bride, if you've opened it, or can, can you confirm that they both are anamorphic?
Thank you kindly. |
Went to another BL and found:
GUN 6 Film Anthology $7.99 The Evil That Men Do $2 Kept $2 Read My Lips $2 Pact of Silence $2 Bon Voyage $2 Broken Wings $2 Me Without You $2 Va Savoir $2 Me You Them $2 Solomon & Gaenor $2 Bonjour Tristesse $2 The Code $2 Tip Toes $2 Dark Blue World $2 My Wife Is An Actress $2 Ruby $3 Rush of Fear $2.99 Laser Moon $3.29 |
The Evil That Men Do $2
Nice find... |
No new titles to post but some encouragement. A week ago visited several Big Lots but only one had a number of titles. Yesterday revisited the closest one on the way back from post office...and found that they had totally restocked. Found 11 titles that weren't at the other stores last week.
The moral is...keep checking back. They do restock and you might get lucky. |
I found Iron Monkey 2 from the Tai Seng label and bought it for $5. Then when I got home I noticed that it was the dubbed english version. I totally missed that in the store. Then I noticed there were terrible reviews on it, saying it wasn't even related to the first Iron Monkey (which I liked) and quality was very poor. Luckily, I didn't open and will be returning it.

I was near my Big Lots this morning (northeastern Missouri) and they had just restocked. I saw many of the titles already mentioned here and that weren't out just a couple of days ago.
I think my best find was: Happy Times (Zhang Yimou) for $2.00 I also picked up: I Capture the Castle $2.00 The Horsemen $3.00 Going in Style $3.00 Others I remember seeing that I don't think have been mentioned are: December $2.00 The 5th Musketeer 3.00 and the following were $4.99: Blade Runner Frantic Oh God! Oh God!, You Devil A Very Long Engagement The Imposters I'm sure there were more but those are what I can remember. Happy hunting. |

And the damage done....
After last weeks Big Lots DVD blitz (and Tower's demise), here's the damage to my wallet for the year. Thanks to the OP for this deal. IMO, this was/is the deal of the year!

Book II - Mystic Masseur - Pact of Silence - Pauline and Paulette - Peep Show - Pirahna II - Postcards From The Edge - Read My Lips - Ruby - The Sea Is Watching - Secret Ballot - The Secret Lives Of Dentists - Sin City (Mickey Rourke cover, UPC/case damaged) - Slugger's Wife - Snake In The Eagle's Shadow - Solomon And Gaenor - Son Of The Bride - Subway - Tiptoes - Trixie - Twin Falls Idaho - Va Savoir - Vanya On 42nd Street - A Very Long Engagement (already own, UPC/case damaged) - We're No Angels All of the above are between $2 and $4.99.
