Evening (for the mrs.)

going back for a few titles i saw in this thread... namely barry lyndon.

whoa whoa whoa? city of lost ****ing children too?

gah, i want this new shipment!

yeah this selection is f***ing sick.

damn!

Eating Raoul is a classic. Sadly it was a 4:3 film that they stretched to 16:9 for the DVD.

Seconded.

My Big Lots needs to hurry up & get these....
I'm guessing this Wednesday & Friday is possible....

I really want:

Eating Raoul
The Dark Backward
City of Lost Children
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Dillinger (45)
Quick Change
Prince of the City - Two-Disc Special Edition
Brainstorm
Ten Little Indians
Palmetto
The Frisco Kid
Hardcore

Anyone know how to obtain a 20% off coupon? I really want to go back but my wallet doesn't.

Also just a heads up... Private Parts is the movie directed by Paul Bartel (not the howard stern movie)... same guy who did Eating Raoul... really bizarre movie.

Found the relatively rare (for BL, anyway) Starship Troopers Chronicles: The Homefront Campaign.

Big Lots over the last year has been a real goldmine.

The Big Lots in Huber, Heights Ohio now has out for sale a lot of the titles being posted. A couple of titles I remember seeing that I don't think have yet been mentioned(?)-

Red Badge of Courage (1951, Audie Murphy, snapper case)
Stan Lee's Mutants, Monsters & Marvels (2002, with Kevin Smith)

Hit up 2 local Big Lots. I didn't find Hardcore or Day For Night which were the ones I really wanted. Did manage to buy...

The Butcher Boy
Fingers
Memories (the Katsuhiro Otomo anime)
Sweet & Lowdown

i stopped by again today, they had a few paramount flicks it looked like such as two pointier films to sir and guess who's coming to dinner. but it was barely anything else.

Tess
Waiting for Guffman
The White Countess

Went to my local Big Lots on Friday night in Newington CT, crap selection. Kind of a bummer.

San Quentin?
Man, this is killing me with all these great DVDs in this new batch....
I have a bad feeling I won't find half of these when it hits my state....

I vowed to quit buying dvds from biglots after doing some spring cleaning this weekend and finding a total of about 70 that I bought there in the past year still shrinkwrapped. It looks like I'll be breaking that vow. At least I already own a lot of the titles in the new batch. Of course I paid $15-$20 for them.

Don't feel bad, I paid a decent price for a few of them also....
Brainstorm remastered came out in February, How is it already at Big Lots? lol
Plus stuff like Hero Wanted, Rise, Diamond Dogz, & a few others are recently released....

Man, I'm so grateful for this thread. Today I picked up:

Cry Wolf / Skeleton Key
The Butcher Boy
Truffaut's Day For Night
Eros
Rise: The Blood Hunter
Saawariya
The Promise
Matchstick Men
some Ouija horror movie


I saw a lot of Sweet And Lowdown, Cabaret, Brainstorm, A Mighty Wind, Waiting For Guffman, Starship Troopers, etc. in Orange County.

i found the following today,

king of california(w slipcover)
the amateurs(w slipcover)
a guide to recognizing your saints
yucko the clown in the damn show

i would love to find the city of lost children and butcher boy.
