Big Lots update
Nothing too exciting but some decent prices:
The Punisher(Dolph & Gossett) $3.99 Heaven Can Wait $3.00 Benny & Joon $3.00 Return to Me $3.00 Heartbreakers $3.00 Dragon Inn(Special Edition) $5.00 Rudolph & the Island of Misfit Toys $3.00 The Majestic $3.00 These are all in widescreen. They had some other stuff too but I can't remember all the titles. |
Nice finds. The Punisher has been OOP for quite some time.
|
I remember seeing Constantine at my nearest Big Lots.
|
I was at the Kirby Big Lot's in Houston friday and they added a display table full of DVD's $1,$3 and $5 in addition to the normal four sided upright rack. Noticed under the table that there were eight open but not empty boxes labeled various flipcases. The assortment is varied with some decent buys - $3 Bull Durham $5 True Grit, plus those already mentioned and a number of others that I can't remember.
|
Patriot Games $5
Clear And Present Danger $3 Air Force One $5 Incredible Mr Limpet $5 Wedding Planner $5 Sabrina (Bogart) $5 Meet John Doe $1 Many other titles also... |
I hit the Big Lots in the Sacramento area (Carmichael, Greenback Lane, Northgate Blvd) and could not find Benny & Joon (birthday present for wife)...they did have Danielle Steele telemovies, Million Dollar Baby and a lot of dvds in the $5 range.
|
Very odd... there are 2 Big Lots in my town and I have NEVER, EVER seen one single DVD (other than the $1 public domain cartoon discs) on sale at either one of them. Are they in some secret department that I just can't find? I know "YMMV," but sheesh!
|
I'm in the same boat. I've never seen any good titles at ours. Just the public domain ones. Anyone from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that knows of a good Big Lots?
|
The Big Lots nearest to me always has great deals on DVDs. I usually see new titles every time I go in there.
I've seen a bunch of newer release titles for $4.99 like all the matrix 2 Disc sets, Torque, and other things like that. They also have a good range of independent films and sometimes even some box sets. The best deal I've seen there lately has to be: At last the 1948 Show (2 Disc) and Do Not Adjust Your Set (2 Disc). I believe both are the complete series of the two shows from the late 1960's that starred most of the Monty Python cast and helped to spawn that series. Both are 2 Disc sets with slip covers and some extras like intereviews and stuff. The kicker is they were both $2.99 each!!!!! By far one of the best Big Lots deals I've found. The real time to check is a few weeks before Christmas. |
Just picked up "1st &Ten" complete collection for $6. They had about a dozen copies left.

Short of a furnace. Ahem! Sorry. Just no movie I can think of has so disrespected its source character...anyway! I'll second the pre-python shows, they're a decent watch. I also found the film Shade, which I've yet to watch, but should at least be worth something based on the cast....something, anyway. Not necessarily a lot...but something. |
I saw several copies of Black Scorpion II for $3 on my last visit.

I saw these also and was tempted to blind buy it but then I searched out the price on the web and it's not such a good deal after all... $6.63 @ Overstock... |
I was at my local Big Lots early today and they didn't have any of these. I didn't spot any titles worth mentioning although my Big Lots does have some good deals at times. Back when the Mike Hammer series and Gun were available for $7.99 my local store had them.

I was at Big Lots the Tuesday night 12/19 and they had some pretty good $2 discs. I got The Creeping Flesh and Luc Besson's La Dernier Combat also for $2. They only had 1 copy of every title there which was a total of about 20 movies. I have the memory of a goldfish, so the only other one I remember was The Looking Glass War, which I already own, but it's a good movie. They had a couple of Anime titles, but it looked like mostly more arthouse type stuff.
Definitely worth battling the Xmas crowds to have a look. |
I picked up a copy of the 1st and Ten complete series for $6. It's 6 seasons, 80 episodes, and $6 after shipping and everything is about as cheap as you'll ever find that. I also got a bunch of $2, $3, and $5 titles. For $2, I got the Korean action flick Tube and The Secret Lives of Dentists: Special Edition. For $3 I got The Big Picture with Kevin Bacon, and I also got the foreign film, My Wife is and Actress. For $5, I got the Canadian version of Neil Jordan's The Good Thief with Nick Nolte.
|
Thanks for all the updates everyone...well, other than the fact that $6 for 1st & 10 sort of rubs salt in my eyes since I paid $19.99 for it. Still haven't opened it but it's been too long. I was happy to pay the $19.99 actually since I have very fond memories of watching that show all throughout my high school years. Jason Beigh(sp?) as the qb of the ...Bulls?. My memories are faded but it's still an all-time favorite show of mine.
|
Thanks to the ^MuYa^ on posting that First and 10 was available for $6 - picked up a couple for Christmas presents for some football crazy relatives - one of them who had been borrowing my set - now he has one of his own! If your a football fan, definiately worth the price! (Heck, the $14.99 I paid for mine online-Walmart was worth it!)

A caveat on 1st & 10 (from Amazon comments):
Only a couple of episodes are the HBO versions. The rest are syndicated television versions with added laugh track, inappropriate trumpet flourishes and cutaways. |
Most of the titles mentioned in the last few posts are out of print Columbia/Tri-Star DVDs that DDD has been selling off for $5.98 a piece since March. (I knew I bought too many...)
I don't know how many Big Lots will get & don't think there's a complete list in this long thread, but it might give ideas on what to look for: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread....hlight=Dernier |
wow! think we hit the mother lode. My wife called me from big lots and they had literally hundreds of films - many that I wanted. I checked the ratings on IMDB while she read them off to me and decided on getting anything with a rating of 7 or higher - she ended up getting 25 dvds for $60! Some have been on my want list for a while. Too many to remember, but here are some..
Snake in Eagle's Shadow (Jackie Chan - original language) Hard Eight Mr. Sardonicus (yeah!) Subway (original language) 2 days in the valley, Angels over broadway The Secret Ballot (Iran) lots of highly rated foreign films (from Argentina, Chile, France, Italy, Iran, Chech, etc.) Can't remember them all. 99% of these were $2!!!!! I have been wanting to get a lot of these foreign films for a while but didn't want to pay a lot of money for them - even $5 seems a lot to me now a days for a blind buy.. but for $2? Woo hooo! |
I went back to my nearby Big Lots last night to get some batteries and decided to re-check the titles, since it's cheaper than renting, but somebody cleaned them out. All the remaining $2 DVDs were gone.
|
Here's some of the titles I saw (they were all either $2 or $3):
Big Brass Ring Bonjour Tristeste Divorce American Style Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River La Dernier Combat Fat City Lady and the Duke Man Called Sledge Me Myself I Me Without You Secret Lives of Dentists They Came to Cordura Tokyo Joe Virtual Sexuality World Traveler Wrong is Right |
I picked up the sea is watching (kurosawa's last film he wrote) and Le dernier combat for $2, i thought these were great prices, Amazon has eac for like $27...

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