You already own "Firefly", what else do you need?



Sorry I'm not too up on how to search your list, but if you haven't yet seen it, check out "Gods & Monsters", $9.90 with the sale.

This is Fun:

DIRTY WORK $ 7.29
ANDERSONVILLE $ 7.18
BASEKETBALL $ 4.80
CUBE (SIGNATURE SERIES) $ 7.42
DEFENDING YOUR LIFE $ 7.20
GO $ 4.80
HIDDEN/HIDDEN II $ 6.43
NIGHT SHIFT $ 4.47

Your Total: $49.59

If nothing else, I've got the most titles for your money (although the number of 9 is achieved rather shadily by means of the Hidden/Hidden II 2-pack. I have never seen Hidden II so I cannot vouch for it, but Hidden I is an absolute blast. Even if Hidden II sucks you still get 8 somewhat overlooked but great films that seem to match your tastes...)

I also considered Andersonville, but decided against it when I could only find one other Civil War related film in his collection (Glory). If he had had more (like Gettysburg and/or Gods And Generals), though, I would have used that too . . . great flick.

Hey, so far mine comes closest to $50 without going over!

Does that mean that I win the showcase showdown??

Boomtown Excellent, excellent series with fine ensemble cast. $15.11
Suicide Kings Great cast including Christopher Walken and Denis Leary and lots of fun in the "crime gone awry" genre. $4.79
Moon Child Japanese film mixing vampires with bullet action -- entertaining! $7.19
One False Move Great performances, riveting film. $4.80

Total with discount: $49.65

Well there is a little over 3 hours left to place orders. I'm not sure why this got movied to Reviews, well i guess i am asking people to recommend titles but still. Hopefully this won't get buried and die in this section.

Anyways i plan on posting the Poll in the Talk section so be on the lookout.

this has been fun...glad to see the prized upped as well. I know a deserving person who I will pass the snow white onto in the case that I win. I hope to see more threads like this.

i saw a negative post or two about the prize, so i figured since i had two extra Snow white's laying around to at least up the ante.

It is a fun little thing to do. It would be very interesting if someone with serious money tried to do this.

Talemyn: I've actually wanted to pick up Gettysburg for along time, but i've been hoping they would come out with some fancy 2-disk ed. Andersonville is very good movie, for some reason TNT churns out good civil war stuff, i'll hold judgement of Gods and Generals.
