The only good thing about the more obscure stuff is you have a better chance of actually getting it, since the average shopper will overlook it.

I picked up Swimming with Sharks SE and Dogville.
There was a $16 Woody Allen set still on the shelf. I'm guessing all 5 of us Woody fans here in Muskegon got their sets.

Modesto, CA (eastside store)
This Big Lots dumped their Lionsgate titles on top of the four-sided rack, and filled them into the old stock. Picked up:
Alf Tales: Alf and the Beanstalk and Other Classic Fairy Tales
Alf Animated Adventures: 20,000 Years in Driving School and Other Stories
The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning: Unrated
Dummy
Novocaine
Shanghai Surprise: Special Edition
Solar Crisis (There's quite a story to this one, according to IMDB. Evidently, it was a Richard C. Sarafian film released theatrically only in Japan. Recut for the USA, Sarafian was granted an Alan Smithee credit and the shorter version went direct to video. Unfortunately this DVD is full-frame while the film was shot in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio)
West of the Pecos (Zane Grey Western Classics) 1945 Robert Mitchum film
Wisegirls
also picked up:
You Can't Hurry Love / Love Hurts (Red Carpet Double Feature)
but am not adding it to the collection since I now see they are both full-frame
Saw no Moonlighting S3, but lots of Swimming with Sharks and:
South Beach Academy / Rock and Roll High School Forever (Red Carpet Double Feature)
Dead Zone (TV Pilot)
Snow Queen
Mr. St. Nick
2 other "Zane Grey Western Classics"
Alf Tales: Alf and the Beanstalk and Other Classic Fairy Tales
Alf Animated Adventures: 20,000 Years in Driving School and Other Stories
The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning: Unrated
Dummy
Novocaine

No Joan of Arc, Eternal Sunshine, Permanent Midnight, Hitchhiker vol. 2 & 3 or Pans Labyrinth 2 disc at my store. But I did end up getting
Swimming With Sharks SE
Snow Queen
Blair Witch 2 w/ CD
Fullmetal Alchemist vol.10
Robotech: Shadow Chronicles 2 disc collectors ed.
But I will keep checking back for the others. Ive noticed my store gets them at about the same time or often later. So im not worried (though my MMV)

I only saw one copy of Snow Queen at my local store, but it was a floater. I also passed on Open Water since I'm a scuba diver, not sure I would still want to be after watching it. Went back today and they had not gotten an actual display and didn't notice any additional titles. I may make the trip tomorrow to my next nearest Bl, which is ~40 miles away.

And yeah, there's a better chance of getting most of it since the average shopper will avoid all of those titles.
To each their own I suppose.

Stopped by a Biglots that I had not been to in a while. They had restocked on HBO titles and had a new selection of anime titles.
Here is a new HBO title that I spotted for $3:
RKO 281 - The Battle over Citizen Kane (WS 16x9) (starring John Malkovich, Liev Schreiber, James Cromwell, Melanie Griffith, Roy Scheider)
They also had Cracker Vol #3, The Best of Arli$$, Lucky Louie and many other HBO titles already mentioned.
They also had a restock of anime, but I'm not familiar with the them.
They only had a couple of the $2 LionsGate dvds left and they were thrown in the large bin with the $3 dvds.

Tabitha: The Entire Series
The Sting (FS - which amazingly is the OAR for this one)
An Evening With Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder (2 Disk)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Rush Hour 3 (WS/FS)
(Gouged - WB)
Pan's Labyrinth (2 disk - no slipcase)

"Swimming with Sharks" was an easy find in the Dayton, OH area. The Trotwood/Centerville/Smithville Rd. Dayton/Airway& Woodman/ stores all had multiple copies last time I visited those stores.
