Obvious difference in the 5 disc and 3 disc Bronx is burning packaging but how can you identify the 3 disc with the Wal mart exclusive disc?

Luther Heggs

You can't really tell for sure outwardly; there's no indication on the case that it contains an exclusive disc (it's crammed in on top of the insert in a paper sleeve). You could tell by the heft of it by itself, but since it's bundled with two other DVDs that's hard to discern as well. You might be able to notice a little bowed out part in the front of the case, but that's it. And that's if the three DVDs are bundled with TBIB facing out.

If I remember correctly, Fox accidently shipped rental versions with the retail cases to retailers when the DVD first came out. I think these are the customer and store returns they are reselling. Which is nothing wrong with them if you don't care about special features.

Cool,Thanks for the info.....Ohhh I get it you have to actually open the packaging! What a concept. Unopened In my unwatched pile! LOL


Picked up the two Val Lewton Double Features!!

Luther Heggs

A word of warning: it's a 2.35 film cropped (and during the credits, squeezed) to 1.78 on this Wellspring DVD.

Found these yesterday at one store:
- The Sting II (never seen this one listed and my store only had 1 copy that I could tell)
- Death Wish
- Message in a Cell Phone (BB)
- ...And Justice For All - Special Edition
- The Last Time (BB)
- (3-PACK) Z (BB)
- (3-PACK) Digging to China (BB)
- (3-PACK) Double Parked (BB)

(BB) = Blind Buy
(3-PACK) = Individual cases shrink-wrapped together for $3

This store was renovating and the cashier mentioned they just received a large pallet that's sitting in the back until the renovations are complete (AT LEAST 3 MONTHS!). Going to a different store tomorrow on my lunch break.

Kory

I found a 3-pack of Margaret Cho specials for $3. Woo hoo.

Steve

got Love finds Andy Hardy- and old Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland movie.

Croissant!

I had never heard of this film (Strings) until it was mentioned earlier in the thread, but found it today in a three-pack with Incubus (Shatner's Esperanto feature; so-so film with great photography) and Tarnation. Probably my best $3 purchase since last summer.

MooMooMooMoo

I mentioned earlier I opened one & it looks 100% brand new. I suspect the "reconditioned" part of the sticker may be misleading.

MooMooMooMoo

Saw a new batch of 3 packs today in Kent Wa. It was a bit different then what I've seen before: No Cho, No Espn, No children's stuff & the sets were much less randomly put together then what I'd seen previously. On the + side there were a couple Godard films (no box set though), a cool looking American Masters Muddy Waters Documentary & some other titles not in the previous batches I've seen.

Backlog

Tarnation! Hot dog, I need to get to Big Lots soon.

I saw several of the ESPN 3 Packs today. The cashier tried to charge me $3 for each dvd of the 3 packs. She acted like I switched the prices so I kindly showed her all the others. Pathetic I would of left but it was the only local BL that had them. Also saw the following:
ESPN Ultimate NASCAR: Collector's Set $5
City of Angels / Michael (Double Feature)
Cary Grant & Vivien Leigh Collection
The AMC Movies: The Ultimate Collection

Johnny Zhivago

Eh... I checked and the Masterworks edition has some different extras than the Criterion (mainly the Costa-Gavras commentary). So, the completist in me grabbed it. I tossed the other two flicks that it was bundled with and kept the empty cases.

Picked up Palindromes as well w/ The Beat That My Heart Skipped... Both seem to have favorable reviews.

Nothing new here today... Other than mattresses.

jwstl

I almost bought The Beat That My Heart Skipped at Blockbuster so would love to find it at Big Lots. I haven't found Z either and would love that. I did find a location that had nearly a dozen copies of The Bronx is Burning packaged with other ESPN programs. I might have bought one had they been the 5 disc edition but all were the 3 disc. On the plus side I find some new titles: I picked up Love Me Tender: Cinema Classics Collection and Clint Eastwood's A Perfect World. They also had Once and I would have grabbed that if I didn't already own it.

Chop2Chip10

I found about a dozen Bronx is Burning 3 Discs and was happy to pick one up last week. After reading that the 5 Disc version was at Big Lots as well I had to go searching one day. Picked up two of them at the first Big Lots I checked. This board is great!

I do have about 5 copies of the 40 Years of Wide World of Sports DVD. I wanted only 1 of the discs in the three pack and well...5 of one dvd is what i get.

Undeadcow

Curiously which Godard films did they have outside the Essential Director Series box?

darkhawk

Picked up:

Love Finds Andy Hardy

basaro

Is the Z (Masterworks) anamorphic?

Has anyone spotted the Catherine Deneuve (Essentials Actor Series) set? Apparently it is OOP, the other Essentials Director sets aren't.

Johnny Zhivago

Yes.

INCUBUS!?!?!?!? IN ESPERANTO!?!?!?!?!

I have got to find that gem!! Why couldn't my Big Lots have that one??

obscurelabel

Are we sure that the Incubus at Big Lots is the film with William Shatner? I've seen the title at Big Lots and was sure that it was another film with this name -- I guess I could've missed it tho ...

Croissant!

It's the Shatner version. It was in a three-pack with Tarnation and Strings for $3. There was another film titled Incubus as well, but it's definitely the Shatner version in the three-pack.

bobwil54

The only Incubus title that I have seen stars Tara Reid.

-TRANCE-

Bought these today..

The Bronx Is Burning (3 disc) bundled with March Madness and Sports Century : Babe Ruth
Mother Night
The Big Bounce (original 1969)
Analyze This
The Exorcist III
European Vacation
Lean On Me

Should i pick up The Exorcist II to go along with Parts 1&3? or is it really not worth it since i hear it's a terrible movie.
