Borders $5.99 DVDs

Can someone post the list of $5.99 DVDs? I saw 'Red Violin' along with a bunch of stuff that has been on sale at other stores recently. Wondering what else is included!

thanks for the heads up. these sales are good. i picked up a few on their 8.99 sale last week that were unexpectedly good. i like that they dont trot out the same run of the mill sale crap that BB & CC often do.

Forgot the list, sorry guys--it's a heck of a lot longer.

Off the top of my head:
Dazed & Confused (flashback ed)
Doctor Doolittle (original musical)
Blue Velvet (SE) [I think I remember this one at least, I know we got an awful lot in]
Breakfast at Tiffanys (that pink one that looks like a gift, most recent ed. I believe)
West Side Story
Anything Goes
Reservoir Dogs (2disc red/yellow--gas can if you can find it)
Amityville Horror (original)
Fog SE (original)

and I think my brain doesn't want to remember anymore for now.

Once Upon a Time in the West
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
The Shootist

(ok I lied, but I think I'm done...dammit

All 10 Star Trek 2 discs. I think it was all 10...

Apparently not Borders. I don't know how these places stay in business with the prices that people can get the same produce for on-line usually with free shipping.

This sale isn't happening at the Borders I work at, either, so I presume it's only regional. Too bad.

No joy in southern Maryland. I took the Red Violin to the checkout counter and asked for a price check, $10.99, Waldorf, MD location.
