Re: Big Lots Update Part 3
Does Big Lots only have the full frame version of Digimon: The Movie? I picked it up today without even checking the AR, and it wasn't until I got home and opened it that I realized it was full frame...

Re: Big Lots Update Part 3
Did anyone see Children of the Living Dead at their Big Lots? 
Mine had a few, I heard it was horrible but it's OOP....
I know I've seen it at local DVD places for $16 used....

Re: Big Lots Update Part 3
I saw it and had it in my hand as I looked through the vast selection at one of my local stores but I ultimately put it back. I simply have to cut back on the fringe/blind buy purchases. Even at $3 I just can't afford to throw the money away and I've long ago run out of shelf space. It's certainly a sad day when I have to put back a zombie movie and the ironic thing is, I did buy Plan 9 w/Mike Nelson commentary on that trip.

Damn I'm looking for the original Empire Records version and my Big Lots doesn't have half the stuff mentioned on here.
I don't suppose someone could pick one up for me?

Picked up Children of the Living Dead for my dad he loves the movie for whatever reason. For myself I picked up ZebraHead, Michael Jordan To the Max and 976-Evil. You should have saw the look on my face when i saw all those copies of ZebraHead just laying around which is one of my all time favorite 90s movies. Michael Jordan To The Max is also OOP it goes for 30 or more new on Amazon.

Re: Big Lots Update Part 3
Over the past few days, I've picked up these winners:
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
Power Rangers: Turbo
Bushwacked
Thunderbirds Are Go
Thunderbirds 6
For good movies:
Katsuhiro Omoto's Memories
Romper Stomper: Two-Disc Special Edition (which has also been OOP for numerous years)
I also saw at a Big Lots this evening a selection of multi-disc sets from Sony. I only picked up the I Know What You Did Last Summer / I Still Know What You Did Last Summer two-disc set from just a few years ago (with the SE for the first film) for $8.
All the two-disc sets were $8, they also had:
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail two-disc with screenplay and film cel
- Charlie's Angels: Superbit / Full Throttle: Unrated
- Starship Troopers (first edition) / Starship Troopers 2
They had a slew of triple features for $11 and some four disc sets for $15.

Re: Big Lots Update Part 3
Just saw the batch at the store closest to me. Sorry for the lack of detail, but I didn't buy anything.
First, there were 2 small boxes of Animae titles that seemed to be aimed at children @ $3 each. The only title i remember was Sonic The Hedgehog
There were single copies of several of the 2 disc sets others have mentioned at $8 ea. The Monty Python was 1 of them.
There were 1-3 copies of some 3 film sets @ $11 each. I don't remember titles; it was mostly "chick flicks"; there was one Barbara Streisand set & there were no more then 10 different titles at most. I have seen similar sets for $10 or less at Target & K Mart.
Finally their were a few 4 film box sets with 1 copy each @ $15. The only one I found of much interest was the Boris Karloff Icons of Horror box which I already own. I do remember one was war themed with Das Boot & 3 others, & 1 was gangster themed (recent, NOT classic).

Re: Big Lots Update Part 3
I found a few double features yesterday for $8 each:
Funny Girl/Funny Lady
El Mariachi/Desperado
Quick and the Dead/Bite The Bullet (says anamorphic WS on the back for both titles. BTB is also available in FS only, and can be found at BL. There is also a rarer OOP WS disc that has popped up at BL before. Just a little buyer beware in case the wrong transfer is on the disc, I'm not sure). These were thinpack releases.
I know what you did last summer/I still...

Re: Big Lots Update Part 3
Alien Hunter is a low budget mishmash of first alien contact movies. Well presented, with a few new ideas, but the plot is mostly rehashed from other (better) films in the genre.
