Good thing they put the unaired episode on the dvd set...

I really enjoyed this show... finding it for only 3 bucks was amazing... picked up The Comeback as a blind buy and watched it all over the course of 2 nights, very underated show, too bad HBO cancelled it and LL... they are starting to have as little patience as the networks after being on such a streak for so long with all their big hits

darkside 06-12-08 12:39 AM

I found a few I was interested in, but no Lucky Louie.

Lewis Black: Black on Broadway
Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You
One Night Stand: Louis CK
Dennis Miller: The Raw Feed
David Spade: Take the Hit
One Night Stand: Caroline Rhea

Earlier in the thread somebody mentioned the Jena Malone movie Confessions of an American Girl. Does anybody know the availibility of this title at Big Lots? I would really like to find this movie and would pay or trade for this movie. Also, is there any chance that other HBO films will find their way into Big Lots?

SeymourGams 06-12-08 04:26 AM

I'll do dirty things for a copy of the Comeback...

ScissorPuppy 06-12-08 07:31 AM

Found today for 3$ each.
In the line of Fire (Special Edition)
The Legend of Zorro (Special Edition)
The quick and the dead (Superbit)

I have never seen these at big lots before, so they may be part of a new batch coming. They only had one copy of each.

Other "New titles" I didn't get/want

Daddy Day Care
Guess Who
Into the Blue

That, my friend, is what bargain hunting is all about, its the thrill of the hunt! just maybe, you will find a copy of your movie you seek some place when and where you least expect to find it, and it will make it all the sweeter

Dr. Phibes 06-12-08 10:50 AM

I found a few things at the Big Lots in Cary, NC:

Hitchhiker Vol. 1
Best of Arliss
Mind of the Married Man
American Splendor

They had the David Spade and Caroline Rhea stand-ups there, but I passed on those. Oh, I also grabbed a pair of Ghost Rider boxers for $2 while I was there.

Yeah, I have found alot of movies at my local Big Lots that were a real bargin. Thanks to everybody here I know have some great titles. Unfortunately, I missed the earlier crop of foreign and independent titles. Most of the recent ones I have been able to find. The only two I really want know is Confessions of an American Girl and Gangster # 1. Hopefully, these two will find their way to my local Big Lots.

Turn in your man card for not picking up Into the Blue. ;)

I'll be looking for these titles tomorrow.

If that is the only title you are looking for, rather than spend $4+ in gas just to try and find it or ~$2 or so paying someone to ship it, could consider Amazon Marketplace. $6.50 shipped there which is about a $1 more than the least you could get it for if someone were to ship it to you.

Then again, I'm confident more MGM stock will be forthcoming as there are many more titles that MGM has been making available at the "bargain bin" pricing.

beebs 06-12-08 01:33 PM

Confessions would be $4.80 shipped from SecondSpin.com with the heynow code (-20% and free ship).

If you have the Superbit bug, there's lots of good deals at SecondSpin on additional superbits for $5-7 shipped as well.

ratherunique 06-12-08 01:57 PM

Thanks abintra and beebs for the suggestions. I just wanted to help out others by providing a fair exchange of titles they might find difficulty finding at their local Big Lots. Many of the rare titles mentioned show up on the shelves at my local Big Lots. I know how frustrating it can be searching for titles that never show up at your local Big Lots. Anyway, thanks everybody.

Jigen75 06-12-08 03:12 PM

I want to get Into the Blue, as long as its anamorphic

ScissorPuppy 06-12-08 04:24 PM

Into the blue is only 2 years old, I'm pretty sure it's anamorphic.

JAYARE 06-12-08 05:03 PM

if anyone has an extra Lucky Louie or can get one let me know.

DVDude! 06-12-08 05:34 PM

I'm interested in the widescreen flipper of Sheena if anyone is willing to sell theirs for a reasonable price. I've only been to two local Big Lots to no avail. Also, despite what the case says, I'd prefer it be checked first to make sure it has the WS version on it; i.e., opening it. Thanks!

I've cut down on this a bit with the gas prices, but I love bargain hunting. A big part of the fun is digging through this stuff in places like Big Lots, Dollar General and especially the used stuff at Half Priced Books, GameStop or the local used CD and DVD stores to find a deal.

Sometimes you come up empty, but many times you do find something you are looking for at a great price. I've built my Sopranos sets very slowly used deal at a time this way. I still need 4, 5 and 6 part II, but I will be patient and I will find them cheap at some point.

Brad Hood 06-12-08 07:59 PM

I picked up Rock and Roll High School today. I believe that's the first time I've ever bought a Region 0 DVD in a retail store...

I also grabbed Don't Come Knocking. It's not Wem Wender's best file, but it's worth three bucks just for the cinematography and the T-Bone Burnett soundtrack.

lewisb73 06-12-08 10:01 PM

Picked up about 23 titles today at a different Big Lots today... cant resist dvds that are cheaper than a gallon of gas

among the highlights... Empire Falls, Sheena, The hitcher, Johnny Mnemonic SB,Gattica SB, Foxfire, Robocop 2, American Splendor, Elephant, Steamboy, and the Sketched of Frank Gehry

Never bought a criterion instore?

Well, because I've been busy with work, and just got promoted (and have to change plans because I'm going out of town for a week AGAIN), I finally hit my first two Big Lots to check on the HBO titles. The South County store is as useless as always (I at least was able to get the Robocop 2 & 3 titles from them about a month or two back during the MGM shipment which they hardly had anything from then), as I hit there Wednesday night. Yesterday morning, I hit the Mid-Rivers Mall store, and scored 9 titles for $29 after tax.

What I picked up:
Confessions of the Married Man - Season 1
K Street - Complete Series
Lucky Louie - Complete Series
Best of Arli$$
Lewis Black - Black on Broadway
The Cherokee Kid
Mom & Dad Save the World
Poolhall Junkies
Nine Innings from Ground Zero

Other stuff I saw was:
A nice sized shipper of Sony restock, but they didn't have much of HBO stuff left. I practically cleared 'em out, BUT...I passed on the Caroline Rhea & Louis CK: One Night Stands. They had a few HBO Video movies I wasn't familiar with, but for the TV series....the only had 1 more K-Street and that's about it.

Lastdaysofrain 06-13-08 07:15 AM

Anyone seen the Hitchhiker Volume 3 at any Big lots?
