Re: Big Lots Part 9 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)
After over two years at looking at BL for it, I finally saw 2 copies of Return of the Vampire in a big new display with largely retreads. In the classic area, they also had A Lawless Street with Randolph Scott and Mrs. Miniver (called "Mr. Miniver" by the white security tape on top). Finally, they had one copy of a $3 The Great Zigfield, which was a floater. Does anyone have experience buying floaters? How much of a risk are they?

Next week's ad features "NEW $3 TITLES" and some $5 titles...
Pretty much the same stuff I've seen there before, but with the recent reports of a large display arriving at some stores I'll still check it out one day next week.
Also, if anyone on here is interested they're advertising new DS ($13.88) & Wii ($18.88) games arriving next week as well.

I found all of those titles already that you mentioned but if I were looking for something for a long time at BL and then came across a floater I would probably grab it anyway for a safety copy in case no other came along.
You can also request the titles in the trade thread.

Just saw some of the "new" $3 titles. Same old stuff we've seen before, here's what I remember:
Great Ziegfield
Friday the 13th (I Love the 80s)
Fracture (fullscreen)
Punch Drunk Love
Brokeback Mountain
In Good Company

Re: Big Lots Part 9 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)
I'd give it a shot. I've received some in the mail and purchased some at BL that did not have a single scratch. On the other hand, I purchased one at BL that was so scratched it wouldn't play (it was in a keep-case FWIW), but in all fairness it was in rough shape on the outside as well. While I typically avoid "floaters" I'll take a chance at BL if it's a title I want and there's only one copy. However, I open it as soon as I get home and if there are scratches I'll play it. If it hangs/skips it goes back. So far I've picked up about a half dozen "floaters" and only 1 was bad enough to return.

I saw this new batch also. It also included Friday the 13th Part II (I love the 80s), The Box (Cameron Diaz), Malcolm X, Back to Bataan. Nothing major.

Finally found THE DAY OF THE LOCUST, director John Schlesinger's brilliant 1975 drama about Hollywood decadence back in the late 1930's. It's among my favorites about Hollywood----and in widescreen at only $3.00!

I've bought a few floaters, and not had any problems, plus you could take them back if you do.
I saw the Friday the 13th
3 Godfathers
The Cowboys--John Wayne
Malcolm X
and others already mentioned

Pearl also got in 1 $3 tray. Nothing exciting, the previously mentioned John Wayne titles are probably the best in the batch.

I've been searching in vain for this one at BL for months now. Glad you found a copy!

I've been seeing PV TV shows at our SW PA store recently. Secret Diary of a Call Girl season 1 & Lucky Louie caught my eye, both were $6. I had seen most of the $3 DVDs before, The Informant and Demolition Man were new to our store though.

Saw a few copies of "Party of Five: Season 1" for $3, grabbed one for my wife.
May have been posted here before, but I was surprised to see a boxed set at that price.
Made me think of that WB avalanche from awhile back...

Re: Big Lots Part 9 - List your FINDS here (NO trades)
I hadn't hit up a BL in quite some time, but I got lost in a town with one on Tuesday, so I ducked in and picked up the following:
Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter
Get Shorty (2 disc)
Man for All Seasons
Many Deaths of Ian Stone
...at $3 each. The Get Shorty was to replace my earlier issued copy; Black Freighter was an impulse buy; Seasons was because I'm a sucker for a British medieval period film FOR NO EXPLAINABLE REASON WHATSOEVER!; and Ian Stone was Stan Winston's final horror work before his death. Almost made getting lost worth it.

I'd like to see more TV shows popping up in those stores once again, as well as that WC Fields and mae West and Crosby collection you guys have been finding there as of late. Still nothing at my end.
