Went to another Big Lots and picked up:

El Lado Oscuro Del Corazon 2 $4
Last Orders $3
Naked Lies $3
Nina Take A Lover $3
Salvajes $4
Twin Falls Idaho $2

I'm still looking for Lip Service if anyone wants to help me out. In the meantime, I picked up:

$2.00
Jackie Chan: Snake in the Eagle's Shadow(WS)
The Pact of Silence
Subway(the WS Columbia release to replace the FS copy I purchased earlier)
CD Andy's (Griffith) greatest laughs
$3.00
A Man Called Sledge
Divorce American Style
Angels Over Broadway
Music in My Heart

$4.99
Sin City (WS w/Marv slipcover)

I mentioned this in an earlier post. If you want Subway they do have it at BL, they have both releases. Get the Sony $2 one like this:

Not the crappy $1 one:

:)

I had the first one on my hands and didn't buy it...

Grrr...

The BL that had it is too far away to goto for one dvd...

This is the only version I have seen at the stores around here. I thought for sure this was the crappy version, based on the artwork. Still undecided on picking it up, though.

I believe these films remain unmentioned:

Tully ($4.99)
Three Businessmen (Alex Cox directed -- $3.29...don't ask me!)

still no sodding Spider by Cronenberg...

I am so envious of you guys. My sole Big Lots has none of the titles listed here - in fact, it doesn't have any DVDs at all.

Guess I'll have to pony up full retail $ for At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set.

Just a thought about the $2 movies if you're undecided about some of them (and there are many great titles offered)...you can always trade them in at Blockbuster & get at least $2 credit in most cases. If you have a franchise store nearby, you can probably get $4-$5 for them. Last summer/fall I cleaned out a bunch of cheap DVDs that were slightly imperfect (light scratches, etc.) plus some cheaper movies from pawn shops, garage sales, etc. I got a bunch of credit from the franchise stores & ended up spending all of it during the latest 4 for $20 sale. I was very pleased with the results...got lots of harder-to-obtain foreign & indie films plus some newer bestsellers for minimal cash layout (for instance, I was able to get four $5 titles using $20 credit obtained from titles that probably cost me around $10...making the "actual" price of the movies around $2.50 each + tax). So it's hard to go wrong with these $2 titles.

No you won't . . . though the price is about double that of what Big Lots was offering them at. Visit Oldies.com via the links below:

1948: http://www.oldies.com/product-view/3855GD.html

That's good to know - how can you tell if a store is a franchise store?

Here is what I picked up today. I've also included the lowest online price that I could find really quick:

$4.99

-Going In Style ($13.55)


$3.00

-The Myth of Fingerprints ($25.98)
-Trixie ($25.06)


$2.00

-The Front ($10.47)
-Haiku Tunnel ($23.43)
-Happy Times ($5.98 at DDD, but they only have 25 in stock. After they sell out, the lowest price will be $23.43)
-Manny & Lo ($5.98 at DDD, but they only have 15 in stock. It's $6.50 at DVDPlanet, then after that the lowest price is $20.95)
-Mr. Sardonicus ($10.47)
-Pauline & Paulette ($5.98 at DDD, but they only have 16 in stock. It's $6.50 at DVDPlanet, then after that the lowest price is $23.43)
-Va Savoir ($14.95)

If anyone finds Tube or Monsieur Ibrahim, let me know...I'd be willing to work out a trade if there are any Big Lots titles you can't find locally.

Good question (& I don't have a good answer). None of the 7 Blockbusters near us are franchise stores; however, about 100 miles away in Knoxville are 3 franchise stores (out of a total of about 7-8 Blockbusters). They usually have large banners advertising "Get at least $4 for Trade-Ins"). They also sometimes have different sales; ironically, I find it better to trade in used DVDs at the franchise stores & then use the credit at the corporate stores. Sorry...know this doesn't help much (when all else fails, just ask the clerk what type of store).

Incidentally, I've found several good stores that not only have their used DVDs in better condition but also have really friendly staff who understand the importance of checking condition, etc. & have been most helpful & pleasant. Then there are the couple of stores with employees who seem to regard waiting on customers to be an intrusion on their discussions of their relationship problems, makeup disasters, etc. You know the type...the ones who roll their eyes, sigh heavily, and say "You know that these have a 30-day guarantee" whenever you ask to check the condition before buying. I assume they don't mind driving 10 or more miles to return items that don't work, even if they have to repeat the process when the 2nd item is even worse. Makes you want to say, "If only you were getting paid to do this job" when they act so put out for helping (even though you go at an extremely slow time when there are no other customers in the store & the clerk is just standing at the counter chatting).

Thanks Bobhug! Found 10 DVDs that weren't available in the slim picking of the 2 local Big Lots. Oldies.com has a 5 for $25 deal. Buy 10 for $50 and get free shipping.

printerati TUBE and Monsieur Ibrahim are included in this offer.

1st and Ten the Complete Series

4 DVDs did not have the discount sticker on them and I asked about the price so they just rung up one of the 2 dollar DVDs four times. These DVDs are Japanese Story, Le Dernier Combat, They Came to Condura and Hanky Panky.

My Big Lots always seems to have a terrible selection of DVDs when I go to look. Yesterday, the only movie I even recognized was "Volunteers" for $5. I had to laugh at that price, since I got it at the DDD sale for .59¢ in November, lol.

Found two more yesterday:

Kicked In The Head
The Luzhin Defence

Modesto, CA
 

Picked up these titles at the Big Lots by my house:

The Complete Gidget Collection $3.00
Hanky Panky $3.00

Passed over:

Oh God You Devil $4.99
Going In Style $4.99
The Kid Stays In the Picture $4.99
Wrong Is Right
The Late Show
The Big Picture
Vanya On 42nd Street

anyone on here like "the man who loved women"

Has anyone found that they (Big Lots) have restocked any stores that you previously found some titles at? Within the last week and including any new titles that weren't there before or is this likely a one time thing?

I really enjoyed bothe the original french version and the America remake.

i have not seen any restocking, and with big lots being a closeout store, i doubt we will get repeats.

I found some restocking at 2 out of 3 stores in our immediate area. Checked yesterday at two since I was driving by...neither had been restocked (or all the $2 movies had been sold) since a week ago.

Yeah, the main store I check gets new DVDs every week. It's been going on for months and months now.

Are you serious? I really need to get down to mine and see if they have anything worthwhile. Last time I was there, it was a lot of the Ground Zero kung-fu flicks, with a few oddities mixed in, like the basic Cowboy Bebop Session 6, Kid Stays in the Picture, and Mamoru Ishii's live-action feature Talking Head. I'd love it if they had Le Dernier Combat and Subway, though.
