You're not alone. This thread is starting to bring back painful memories from last summer when I had to wait almost 2 months for them to get any of the MGM stock in.

Went to my Big Lots again today and hauled in the following...

Barry Lyndon (supposed to be slashed but my copy isn't slashed at all)
Ten Little Indians
Stella Street
Return of the Vampire
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed
Revenge of Frankenstein
Eight Legged Freaks
St. Ives
Joe's Apartment
Brainstorm

PopcornBandit

Is the children's assortment mixed in with the other DVD's? Or is it located elsewhere? I would love to pick up the two Power Rangers movies, just for nostalgia's sake.

Finally got a *few* of these in. There were 2 "flats". One is the std. square, single layer and the other is about 1/4 the size of the square, also single layer. All the titles I saw were WB titles.

Picked up:
The Frisco Kid
Any Which Way you Can
There was a Crooked Man...
Arthur
Barry Lyndon

Saw but did not pick up (All these were in the smaller flat and all were gouged):
Bullitt
House on Haunted Hill (1999)
Private Parts (1972 *not* the Howard Stern film)
Bewitched (WS)
Cannon Ball Run II

Was at a Ft Worth BL recently & saw a few new 20th Century Fox titles that I hadn't seen in my local BLs -

Relentless 2
Bee Season
Material Girls (Hilary Duff)
In America
Venus Rising


Didn't know if these were newer titles or simply left-overs from older shipments.

Quatermass

They finally got some of these near me. I managed to keep it down to just 10, but I'll probably go back later in the week and buy 5 or 6 more. A couple of titles I didn't see mentioned were
Memories - 3 Anime short films on one DVD (I only saw 2 of these, but I'm not an Anime fan so I left them both)

Yucko the Clown in The Damn! Show
Flying Down to Rio- (old Fred Astaire movie)
Clash by Night - 1952 Fritz Lang film Noir

darkhawk

Bought Race the Sun starring James Belushi and Halle Berry

fishman2020

lol went AGAIN to my BL and picked up four more titles...

The Curse of Frankenstein
Dillinger
Sweet & Low Down
The Champ

I also picked up a fifth title that was from a batch or two ago - Brewsters Millions.

I saw a bunch of Clint Eastwood dvd's that looked like they were broken up from a boxed set or something... I will try and get more info on them, I haven't seen anyone posting about them here yet.

I will probably go back on payday and have another go at this lot.

Torchur317

Can you get me a copy of this?

thejester

Sorry, but I've already left that area yesterday. And, my local BLs (SE Houston area) haven't shown to have those titles yet.


BTW, has anyone noticed that the OLDIES.com DVD clearance for HBO & Fox/MGM highly resembles what has been showing up @ BLs this past year??? Talk about deja-vu.

Torchur317

Uhhhh, That sux....
Ignore my PM then....

Mickactual

I honestly dunno where that is...and it's probably not worth a drive of at least a few hours on such a slim chance, Thx anyway tho.
Ahhhh - a NJ "To Sir With Love" - this may be more do-able for me. Which NJ store please?!

strangetramp

it was in phillipsburg NJ. on and nice l337 post lol.

SpinalGuffman

Great thread! I went to the BL in Eau Claire WI and saw most of the latest stuff mentioned here.

I came away with:

Eating Raoul
KITH Tour of Duty
Quick Change
Memories
Ten Little Indians
Brainstorm Remastered
Frisco Kid
Ryan's Daughter
and, Waking the Dead, not sure if that was mentioned before.

Did not see To Sir With Love, My Life Without Me, Crooked Man, Sweet and Lowdown WS/FS, or Clash by Night. Which is sad because I really want To Sir, My Life, and Sweet and Lowdown. Almost broke down on the Sweet and Lowdown FS (four of those there) but I haven't bought a FS in years...

I did see Butcher Boy, Private Parts, Barry Lydon, Prince of the City, and King's Row, which I notice were scarce in some other places.

I may go back and pick up a few extras for trade. PM me if interested, being the new guy I will be glad to send first (as long as you're on the good trader list.)

DealBreaker2009

Anyone know with what other movies The City of Lost Children is bundled with at Big Lots? Been looking around for this title and have come up empty handed. Have seen nearly every other title mentioned in this thread so if anyone has a few extra copies and wants to trade for something they haven't had much luck finding send me a pm.

Hey Everybody, important thread update here. The Master List had been giving me problems updating lately. Apparently the list is just too big for one post to handle, and tonight it stopped adding new titles once and for all..........Luckily, when I initially restarted the Big Lots thread, I made the 1st post to get it started, and then I made the 2nd post where I put the List. So what I've done is broken the list into two parts, with part 1 on the first post and part 2 immediately following on the 2nd post. It looks good, and it's almost unnoticeable that it's been split in two. I wish I could say that I had the foresight to make those first two posts in anticipation of this very problem, but that would be a big fat lie...........Now in the future, when and if this thread ever gets closed and/or locked due to length or for whatever reason, I strongly suggest to whomever starts a "Part 4" (whether it be myself or someone else)to make at LEAST the first 2 posts, maybe even the first 3 posts, of that thread for list update considerations.......Thanks, jimmaxmed

The Valeyard

Yeah. There's a few Threads in this Forum that has "Place Holder Posts" for ever-growing information.

boc4ever

I'm looking for this also. If I have any luck I'll grab an extra copy.

BobO'Link

Thanks for the update/reminder! I, for one, forget you keep these updates going and tend to wade through the last few pages looking for titles...

For those keeping score, even though a *few* new titles showed up here there were no copies of "To Sir With Love". Also none of the Frankenstein titles. There *may* have been some before I got there as it appeared that ~30 titles were missing from the flats.

Went to BL last night and found:

To sir with love
Butcher boy
Eating Raoul
Stranger than fiction
Sweet & lowdown (FS/WS)
Eight legged freaks
Stan Lee's Mutants Monsters & Marvels
Diamond dogs
Alien hunter

I found one copy of the HBO series Unscripted at one of my local Big Lots. I have never seen the show, but I couldn't pass it up for $3.

You could always copy and paste the master list into HTML format and upload it to some free host and link in from the main post of this thread. Feel free to PM me if you need some help or have some questions.

fishman2020

at my BL City of Lost Children was in a box w/ The Dark Backward, To Sir with Love, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and a few other titles I can't recall right now.
