$7.95 MGM titles--good way to use FunCash
This may be common knowledge... a search showed nothing and I typically don't pay much attention to FunCash, although I did collect $46 during the B1G1/free ship sale.
CH has some titles, I believe all from MGM, priced at $7.95 MSRP. In fact, these all carry an MSRP of $14.95. Seems like a good way to use some FunCash. I got: Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia Fargo Special Edition Last Tango in Paris Europa Europa The Princess Bride Special Edition Viva Maria Total with shipping and tax was a little over $16 (using $46 in FunCash). There are other titles available, including several Woody Allens, a couple more World Films titles, Some Like It Hot SE, Coffee & Cigarettes, etc. |
Platoon SE is also available at that price.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had some free time...

OwlAtHome:
Thanks for the list. It is still not complete, however. One title I notice is missing is The Lover. There may be others. Still, this should be useful for people looking to spend FunCash. BTW, some of these films are excellent. I highly recommend Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris. |
Thanks for posting the list. It was a good idea. I have a bunch of Funcash I need to use this year. Unfortunately there weren't any titles in this list that I wanted. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is on my to-rent list, but I don't like blind buying stuff, especially Sam Peckinpah movies.
One interesting thing I noticed from visual inspection is that a good number of these are single layer releases meaning a low video bitrate, and I know several are not anamorphic (because I once looked them up when I was considering buying them). Many of these are what I call "sloppy job" DVDs, so I avoid them. Anyone buying these should look up reviews on DVD-Basen first. Another warning: There is a Princess Bride triple dip coming in some number of months. Most likely I'll use my Funcash on new releases. I'd rather have 1 good new release than 3 "sloppy job" DVDs. |
Depressing.... I didn't know of this and used all my FunCash yesterday on Smile (Ritchie) an MGM title. It is not $7.95 but unfortunately I could've used the FunCash on 2 titles instead of one. Would have liked to have gotten Crimes and Misdemeanors and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Oh well.
I really recommend from this list - in order Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (in my top 3 of all time-so this is obvious) Carnal Knowledge Last Tango in Paris Crimes and Misdemeanors If anyone would prefer to have The Thing (Carpenter) - 16x9 still sealed for Thunderbolt and Lightfoot let me know! Last ditch effort. |
Thanks. Picked up Fargo SE for $3.17 (shipping and tax). :)
|
I picked up Last Tango with the $8 I had in one of my accounts. Thanks!
|
I'm trying to pick some of these up (The Outer Limits discs) and it will not let me use any more than $4 for any one disc and when combined with others it will only let me use $2 on some titles. On some I can't use any Fun Cash at all when combined with others. I can choose the amount but the amounts change when I go to check out.
What am I doing wrong? |
I downloaded the latest data miner data, then in Excel sorted by studio, by price and the following is a complete list of MGM $7.95 titles:

Weekend At Bernie's What's New Pussycat? White Lightning Wild Orchid 2: Blue Movie Blue Wings of Desire Special Edition Wuthering Heights Youngblood Quite a few interesting titles that could be ordered with funcash, used as fillers, or you can pick 'em up for about $5, including shipping with the default "buy one at $19.95, get up to 50% off". I believe that you would also receive $2 in funcash for every one of these that you purchase. |
I noticed Fargo and some of the others a few days ago... will probably pick up the former with my $8 of funcash.
|
Does anyone know if it's true that there are 2 identical looking releases of Weekend at Bernie's except 1 is anamorphic and the other isn't? If that's right, is CH selling the anamorphic one here?
|
Weekend at Bernies looks totally different. Look for the MGM logo, that is the anamorphic one.
Anybody have the answer to how to use more than $4 Funcash per disc? |
I just found out that code 806199 seems to give you 50% off everything in your cart. No need to buy a $19.95 title or higher. This makes all these MGM titles $3.98 + shipping (plus $2 funcash per title).

Could somebody give me an example of a title they used more than $4 funcash on for an online order. With that I'll be able to tell if I can do the same and see if it's just a matter of which title I'm choosing. TIA.
|
I used $13 (IIRC) on MacArthur.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. |

Ch gives me so little funcash! :(

In the rare times that I mess with funcash, I prefer to use the $7.95 titles to accumulate it rather than spend it on them. The discounted price of the $7.95 DVDs is usually $3.98. So, when there is a free shipping deal or like recently when I fulfilled a 3 commitment account with 3 boxsets (and 3 reg. DVDs with B1G1) and the shipping maxed out at $15, I'll add several of these onto the order at less than $4 apiece shipped, and build a worthwhile funcash balance in the process.
I think it's the best way to work these lowpriced titles into your account (and I agree, there are plenty of good ones), certainly better than using an enrollment on them. Then I'll usually use the funcash on a $9.95 title(s), which are reduced only to $7.95 when discounted, so not as profitably obtained through the other method. I know it's penny-pinching, microanalytical, and ultimately trivial, but hey... |
