Best Buy $9.99 2 (or 3) disk Special Editions this week
I know there was no ad, but these are all $9.99 online and in-store this week and I have not seen it mentioned:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&type=category
There are some in-store that don't seem to be on the list. Once Upon a Time in America is not listed.

Also the 2-disk of Snatch.

Rocky 2 disc collector edition is $9.99 at Amazon, thought it was a price match but it's still $14.99 on Best buy

I've never seen Once Upon a Time in America. Almost thought of blind-buying that one and Labyrinth. Is Das Boot good?
I did get Life of Brian. Decided to upgrade my Criterion.
Most of the other good ones I already own. Wish I had waited on Holy Grail.

Double dipped on Taxi Driver, Das Boot, and Black Hawk Down. Picked up Lawrence of Arabia as well. Only way this deal could have been better is if it was the buy 1 get 1 free on top of that. (Remember that mistake from about a year ago?)

once upon a time in america is almost 4 hours long. Yeah that has alot of replay value, ok. If it was a 4-hour unrated movie about my life starring me as myself and co-starring a young jenna jameson as my love interest I still dont think Id watch it.

I'm thinking of double-dipping on "The Life of Brian" (I have the really lame, old, non-Criterion release) and "Taxi Driver".
And possibly getting "Once Upon a Time in America" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner".

It says on the cover its '2 more hours of movie' but compared to the runtime of the current Directors Cut DVD, it's actually only about 90-93mins.
It's still 4hrs and 53mins long.

Id actually like to read a comparisson of the two to see how a 2hr movie can stand up to a miniseries.I mean are the cuts too much or is it even noticable in the movie?

For this price I got it anyway, but the review I found said:
"watch the director's cut, if you like that, watch the miniseries for some extra fleshing out."

BB has screwed the pooch on BOGO more than once
a little over a year ago Warner special editions rang up for $9.99 each and B1G1F. you don't forget something like that
they have done this again, since then - with different titles
that warner glitch though, was godhead.
my collection grew significantly
it's also why these 9.99 sales don't matter much to me. i already own all the good ones and got them for $5 each.
