Dang! When I clicked on the link, I thought I was in one of those stores with rows & rows of tvs all showing the same channel.

Anyway, thanks for posting. I may pick up Bound For Glory along w/ another.

I am amazed -- is anyone still paying $12.99 and up for SD DVD catalog titles? This makes $15 - $25 Blurays more palatable.

these are b1g1 so they would be more like 6.50 and up

that list is weird and there are only three or four decent titles in there... but still...

i will occasionally pay $15 or so for a SD special edition if it's a 2-disc - i.e. Baron Munchausen

i don't need BD when i can upscale SD to 1080 on my 55" screen

or i can just download (legally) an HD quality version of something i want

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I'll finally get around to replacing my FX2 laserdisc.

It's the best Oliver Stone movie.

It is.

Really.

It's even good if you don't like Oliver Stone.

I highly recommend State of Grace and Miami Blues, both underrated films. The former has an amazing cast: Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Ed Harris (insane in this one), Robin Wright, a young John C. Reilly, even Burgess Meredith shows up! Ennio Morricone did the score too.

Miami Blues is an underrated pre-Tarantino crime comedy...deranged turn from Alec Baldwin and a brilliantly cranky Fred Ward. The director of Grosse Pointe Blank did this one too.

Ok, I take that back. This B1G1 can work but watch out for mixing different priced items. You WILL get screwed.

First order:

State Of Grace
The Sure Thing
21 Hours at Munich
Salvador

Averages out to $5 a piece, and free shipping.

Be sure to go to CHECKOUT, and then it appears. Simply looking at your cart it will not appear.

Plenty of the MGM titles are $4.99 at Fry's and are sometimes on sale for $3.99. And, in the Big Lots thread, people have reported seeing them for $3.

Clicking the link shows that it isn't the deluxe edition.

1. There's a loaded version of Road House?
2. There's a Kevin Smith commentary?

Why wasn't I informed earlier of this must-have disc? Off to procure.

Just have to giggle a little at the notion of a "loaded" Road House. Does it come with a square of pool cue chalk, small airflight vial of Bud (w/ goggles), and a coldpack (either for hangovers or bruises)?

I imagine that there have been many home viewers over the years who have already seen the loaded version...which is why they remember the film fondly.

Add another recommendation for Miami Blues. Good performances by Baldwin, Jenn Jason Leigh, and especially Fred Ward.

Also recommend the book, which is part of the outstanding Hoke Moseley series by Charles Willeford. As usual, the book is better, but the movie is pretty good, too.

Are these two titles in the DeepDiscount sales? Might check. You could get 4 titles or so for the same price as those two.
