I actually picked up a Milli Vanilli record there. When I got home I showed it to my brother, and he said look it's signed. Sure enough, it was signed by Rob & Fab.

I liked MV.....so what !!

I remember seeing this at the movies years ago.
The man that played "El Doctor" gave me the creeps.
He was so evil.

Anybody wanna comment on Peep Show? It looks interesting, but at only 9 minutes long it seems a little steep even for 2 bucks. Is there anything else on the disc besides the short?

I bought waaaay too many of the other titles; I'm gonna have to put in more shelves and who knows when I'll have time to actually watch them!

Ken Cline

A bit off topic, but I picked up a Jethro Tull CD (J-Tull.Com) at Moby Disc that was signed by Ian Anderson. It was a promo copy which was personalized (to David), but that's OK it's a good CD and I only got it for a couple of bucks.

I saw that too. Yeah, $2 is too much for 9 minutes worth of material. I didn't see any extras listed.



Me too! I'm converting the standard keep cases to the Thinpak cases, so that helps quite a bit.

We're heading out to our local BL this afternoon. Hope I find some of these discs - I never seem to see anything there ( well, DVD-wise. We always find all kinds of stuff there. ) . I'll report if I score.

I have Peep Show. Its kinda steep for something so short, but I really enjoyed it.

coville

Didn't see Salvages listed yet. Found it yesterday for $4. Bought and watched Peep Show. It was enjoyable but it's hard to say if it was $2 worth of enjoyment.

printerati

Actually, I saw that one as well for $2, but passed on it because I didn't recognize the studio that released it (Maverick?). Also, the artwork makes it look like a public domain title.

I found a real gem there today for $2, a dvd I had been looking for for awhile. "Guilty as Charged" its a real campy cult classic, stars Rod Steiger as a vigilante who sets up his own electric chair to give violent criminals who have slipped through the system on a technicality the death sentence he feels they should have recieved. Isaac Hayes plays a great supporting part as Steiger's assistant. Also stars Lauren Hutton and Heather Graham.

Brent L

Cool, that sounds a lot like the very first episode of of Tales From the Crypt, "The Man Who Was Death".

If I saw it in Big Lots, I'd pick it up for sure.

printerati

Picked up a few more at the Tri-County area Big Lots for $2 each:

- Happy Times
- I Capture The Castle
- Pauline and Paulette
- Son of the Bride
- Twin Falls Idaho

This location also had Startup.com and one of the Harry Potter films for $3.99 each.

After coming up nearly dry at my closest location, I did a 60 mile loop of two other Twin City stores. I bought these, ALL $2 titles. Thanks for keeping this thread going...I have a feeling some areas of the country may be seeing these arrive at different times. And a salute to Lokimok for posting the OOP title list, upthread!

Which stores did you find them at. My local big lots never has anything good.

docdoowop

I found them at the Coon Rapids and Brooklyn Center stores....about 10 miles apart but a long way from Minnetonka. My usual St. Louis Park store is always a dry hole for DVDs.

Logic 7

Dark Blue World is a great movie

pcdoctor

Boy, I remember this crazy movie.
I remember the part where you know who dropped the weights on the guys crown jewels.

whitetigeress

I guess I should go check it out again. They had nothing there the last time I went.

Harold Chasen

A note to the unsuccessful searchers- I went to a Big Lots a couple days ago and checked the usual stash - nothing interesting, same old stuff. But before I left I happened by a different area and found a stash that included many of the titles people have been listing here. So it might be worth checking around the rest of the store if yours is looking sparse.

Quatermass

I went by my nearby (less than a mile away) BigLots again and found a couple more, but I think it's more likely that I overlooked them last time rather than a restocking, because most of the stuff was in the exact same spot as before. I got "Dead Heat on a Merry Go Round" and "Happy Times". I guess I'm going to have to check back there every couple of days. I'm tempted to drive to other stores in the city like docdoowop.

Harold Chasen

I just went by a different store and found a nice pile. The most expensive stuff seems to be 4.99, but most were either $2 or $3. BTW, for those picking up Subway, it's a great film, but I believe the edition at Big Lots is the ultra-crappy release, at least the one I saw. There's a much better one out - it has a different cover. Anyway, here's my list:

Dick
Sin City
The Big Picture
Happy Times
World Traveler
I'm With Lucy
The Front
Desert Bloom
Nina Takes A Lover
A Man Called Sledge
The Secret Life of Dentists
Me Without You
Le Dernier Combat
The Sea Is Watching
Dragon Inn
Kicked in the Head

Thanks to everyone for the heads up!

zombeaner

Mine never have anything that good, I'll check again tomorrow. I'd like to have Dragon Inn and Ms. Sardonicus.

chard31

Finally found Le Dernier Combat and Das Experiment at the store across the river in Newport, KY. I also grabbed Mr. Sardonicus.

I don't expect to find Tube or Monsieur Ibrahim at this point, as I never made a habit of going to Big Lots before this sale, and don't expect to start now unless there's an influx of new titles that aren't on any of the lists in this thread. I never did find At Last The 1948 Show, either.

hilts

Picked this one up today based on your recommendation! (I better like this or you owe me 2.00! I was going to pass on it)

Also got:

7.99
Gun
Cracker
(saw Mike Hammer too, but already bought it)

3.00
Hellcats of the Navy

2.00
Peep Show (what the heck -you have to admire the guts of releasing a 9-minute film by itself)
Happy Birthday To Me
The Experiment
World Traveler

All blind buys except Happy Birthday. Pretty slim pickings for traveling to four Big Lots. Two more south that I'll try after work tomorrow when I'm in the area. I'm in Austin, TX.
