Re: General Costco DVD Thread

I saw all 8 seasons of Bewitched for $12.99 each. 1st 2 seasons colorized only at the Costco I was at.

They had a number of HBO sets for $26.99 including John Adams and season sets of Rome.
Big Love however was $29.99 for each season.

As I'm not a fan of post-code MGM in general and don't become one again until Schary takes over, I feel that the Marx Bros. were not a good fit there, so we can agree to disagree. Still, there are enough good things in the films to merit the $15.99 price for the box.

FWIW, NIGHT IN CASABLANCA was not an MGM film (and I agree with Professor Echo that the Marx Brothers were not a good fit at MGM).

The Marx Brothers were done with major films 20 years before post-code Hollywood - so what does that have to do with anything?

I was referring to the period when the code began being enforced during late 1934, not when it was breaking down in the 60's. It's that demarcation where the phrase "post-code" is usually in reference, but semantically it could just as well apply to when the code was more or less abandoned some 30 years later.

It's not semantics. 'Pre' means before a period, 'post' means after a period. So, pre-code is before the Hays code and post-code is after the Hays code. Of course, in Alabama the Tuscaloosa, but that is entirely ir-elephant to what I was talking about, semantics aside.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread

Saw the Clint Eastwood: 35 Years, 35 Films box for $119.99 tonight.

This collection includes the following films:

1. Where Eagles Dare, 1968
2. Kelly's Heroes, 1970
3. Dirty Harry, 1971
4. Magnum Force, 1973
5. The Enforcer, 1975
6. The Outlaw Josey Wales, 1976
7. The Gauntlet, 1977
8. Every Which Way but Loose, 1978
9. Bronco Billy, 1980
10. Any Which Way You Can, 1980
11. Honkytonk Man, 1982
12. Firefox, 1982
13. Sudden Impact, 1983
14. City Heat, 1984
15. Tightrope, 1984
16. Pale Rider, 1985
17. Heartbreak Ridge, 1986
18. Bird, 1988
19. The Dead Pool, 1988
20. Pink Cadillac, 1989
21. White Hunter, Black Heart, 1990
22. The Rookie, 1990
23. Unforgiven, 1992
24. A Perfect World, 1993
25. The Bridges of Madison County, 1995
26. Absolute Power, 1997
27. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, 1997
28. True Crime, 1999
29. Space Cowboys, 2000
30. Blood Work, 2002
31. Mystic River, 2003
32. Million Dollar Baby, 2004
33. Letters from Iwo Jima, 2006
34. Gran Torino, 2008
35. The Eastwood Factor short film.


Because it's a Warner Bros set, that means no Play Misty For Me (released by Universal), Escape From Alcatraz (Paramount), In the Line of Fire (Columbia), Changeling (Universal), and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (UA); no idea why Flags of our Fathers is omitted other than Letter From Iwo Jima was more nominated of the two films. Also, since the span covered from the first to last films is 40 years, the title doesn't make any sense either.

Still, a metric buttload of Clint flicks for about $3.50 a piece ain't too bad for a fan.

It also doesn't have his Universal westerns nor MGM westerns for obvious reasons.

Flags of our Fathers was released by Dreamworks on DVD.

It's not just you. Costco would have to improve to suck in their DVD selection lately...they aspire to suck.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread

My apologies if this has been mentioned but I saw Mad Men Season 2 at the local Costco for $19.99. It's not a GREAT price but it is better than I found it anywhere else.

I found Close Encounters of the Third Kind Blu-ray w/booklet for $14.99 today. Yes, the selection is really getting slashed back at this time.

Yesterday, in the Clackamas, OR store, I saw Bad Girls of Film Noir Volumes 1 and 2 for $17.99 each. I also saw Faulty Towers, but don't remember the price. Unfortunately, I didn't see Black Adder.

Nice. I hoped the Bad Girls sets would be sold there. I might pick one up and wait for a one of the large Internet sales for the other.

The Fawlty Towers set was $29.99 at my local Costco. It wasn't quite cheap enough for me to buy it.
