Best Buy.

got Pineapple Express, RocknRolla, Quantum of Solace, Step Brothers and Role Models for $7.50 a pop at Hollywood Video..

on my "to get" list: My Name is Bruce, Ed Wood, Three Amigos (my sister stole her copy back from me!!), Andy Richter Controls the Universe: The Complete Series, Dr. Katz: The Complete Series, The Critic: The Complete Series, and Ong Bak..

Amazon has Three Amigos for $8 (new).. and Hollywood Video has Ong Bak for $8 (new).. probably grab those if i have any money left after bills this month--i just moved, so not sure what to expect for utilities.. all the rest i listed are too expensive, waiting for a bargain

Yeah, I saw the short a couple of years ago, and I was very impressed by the full length feature. Definitely one of my favourite recent buys.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe is on DVD? How come I wasn't told this before??? Must find, must buy!!!

$33 but imho it's worth it.

Got these DVD's for $3 each

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Carlito's Way (Ultimate Edition)
Made (special edition)
The Fifth Element (Ultimate Edition)
Double Feature: Signs/The Village (The Village is fullscreen. However, I think it is an open matte transfer.)
Triple Feature: Death Wish/Escape From Alcatraz/Uncommon Valor (This may be the most random triple feature DVD even released. A revenge film with Bronson, a prison film with Eastwood and a Vietnam film with Hackman. However, it's a good way for Paramount to clear out the inventory of DVD's that you wouldn't buy otherwise due to the lack of extras. And at least I have Death Wish now.)

Just picked up Jaws: Anniversary Edition from Wal-Mart for $5

Looks like they've recently updated their $5 selection, there was alotta movies I would've gotten if I didn't already own them.

by **Buscemi** Fri May 29, 2009 4:14 am

Forgot to mention these:

Gone Baby Gone $3
Jerry Seinfeld: Comedian $3
Quadruple Feature: Hard Target/Lionheart/Sudden Death/The Quest $3 (By the way, what does Keyzer think of Sudden Death? Just wondering because he's a Pittsburgh guy and Sudden Death was filmed there, mainly at the Igloo.)

Home Alone (special edition) $4.99 (would have normally been $14.99 but I had a $10 gift card from K-Mart, so it ended up being $4.99)

by NSpan Sun May 31, 2009 6:12 am

just paid $19.99 for Children of Men bluray... don't normally pay so much for movies--but no regrets on this one

Banks what else was in the $5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart need to hit that up soon myself.

by **Buscemi** Thu Jun 11, 2009 12:10 pm

Got these last week at Computer Hospital (a local computer repair shop that fixes computers faster, cheaper and better than Best Buy ever did, they recently started carrying DVD's).

The Godfather Trilogy: The Coppola Restoration $19 (now I can sell my old DVD set, which I got for $40 back in 2004)
Punch-Drunk Love (2-disc) $4
The Last Waltz $4

They also had two James Bond box sets (the 2007 releases from Fox) for $19 each, the Rambo six-disc box set for $15 (no steel case though) and the Friday the 13th box set from 2005 (without the unrated version of the first but featuring many extras not on the new DVD's) for $19. If they still have those, I might get them soon.

got Alpha Dog for $5 at Wal-Mart last week.

by **Buscemi** Sun Jun 14, 2009 9:00 am

Got these from Big Lots (all for $3 each):

Apollo 13 (2-disc anniversary edition)
Duel (special edition)
Gosford Park (special edition)
Prince Of The City (2-disc special edition)
Talk Radio

I went to Entertainmart and sold a few DVD's I had multiple copies of. I only got $8.00 due to a disc in my old Godfather box set being scratched (I was surprised to find this out since the discs played fine and I never subjected them to any harsh conditions). I took the $8.00 anyway and bought in a 3 for $12:

Die Hard (out of print two-disc)
My Bloody Valentine (the original, director's cut)
One Missed Call box set (six discs with all three films and bonus features)

In short, they gave me crap about a supposed scratch and I got back with some cheap DVD's that should be so damn cheap (that One Missed Call set should have been at least $30 and I got it for $4).

by **Buscemi** Mon Jun 15, 2009 3:10 am

Another interesting thing I noticed about the One Missed Call set: One Missed Call Final has yet to be released on to DVD. However, the DVD set is an offical US DVD release from Tokyo Shock that someone got, then traded in and was later placed in the used DVD section.

So I got an official DVD set that has yet to be released for $4 while the average person will probably be paying $30-40 once the set actually gets released. This is a true steal if they're ever was one.

by BanksIsDaFuture Mon Jun 15, 2009 4:10 am

Wow, sounds like you've been on a streak Buscemi. Helluva lot of deals.

Unrelated, but does anyone on here think we, as a board, could do like a DVD swap thing or sell to each other. I know I have some DVDs I'd trade for others I really want. They have this on JoBlo and it works pretty well there. Thoughts?

by leestu Mon Jun 15, 2009 9:01 am

I picked up Poltergeist & Disturbia for $8.83 each . Not as good as the prices you're getting Buscemi but they are alright for over here and for new not 2nd hand.

by Donte77 Tue Jun 16, 2009 3:41 am

Bought brand new at Best buy for 3.99 each.

Groundhog Day
Southland Tales
Stranger Than Fiction

by BanksIsDaFuture Fri Jun 19, 2009 1:32 am

Got Gran Torino from Target for $10 and How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days for $4, also from Target.

I bought Big Fish on Blu-Ray at best buy for $15. I had a coupon. I havent seen it yet, so hopefully its good. It's been a long time since i actually bought a dvd of a movie that i havent seen. So far though, everyone that i've asked, said they love the movie.

by BanksIsDaFuture Fri Jun 19, 2009 3:30 am

I think I would've liked Big Fish had I not watched it in English class in HS.

Great avy btw, Eliza Dushku is unbelievably sexy. Esp on Dollhouse.
