Finally got a restock here. No Sheena WS though.

But in addition to most of the other Sony titles mentioned I found:

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Several FS copies, *but* I found a single WS/FS copy! It went home.)
Stealing Harvard
Married With Children - The Most Outrageous Episodes Volume 1

All $3 each.

DeepSleep

Went to another Biglots and they had alot of the stuff mentioned before. Some of the lesser mentioned stuff for $3 each:

A love song for Bobby Love
Sheena (Fullscreen only)
America's Sweethearts
Hexed
What planet are you from?
Spun
True Blue
Tokyo Raiders
Christine
Things Change (a David Mamet film)

Also saw a copy of Urban Legend that was 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen only. It said copyright 2006 layout and design, Mastered in High Definition. The copy I own is a flipper, widescreen on one side, fullscreen on the other side. Did Sony reissue this in widescreen only? I'm kind of surprised, since they have been known to downgrade alot of movies to fullscreen only.

Peep

Yes, they changed a bunch of "flippers" to single-sided and made about 3/4 of them FS-only. The rest they made WS-only. Some of the choices were truely bizarre. There's a topic discussing it in detail somewhere here.

I finally found Ali: Director's Cut for $3 and Heroes: Season 1 for $4. I am hoping to find a WS Sheena, but no dice, not even a FS. Does anyone have any screencaps of WS vs FS of that certain scene/scenes

laidbacklarkin

Back in 2004, I decided that holding onto that Sheena WS/FS disc was a sin and sold it to DigitalEyes (now DVDPlanet) for store credit, least realizing it would become a sought after 'classic'. Wish I could help you out, man.

But I can tell you one thing - its one of the worst transfers ever. Every scratch and smudge from the original print has been preserved on it. Columbia Tristar did absolutely nothing to make the transfer stand out. But in any which way Tanya Roberts really stands out. Or makes yours stand out :-)

I went nuts on this batch and picked up 16 of 'em. After I got home disappointed to find Moonstruck is foolscreen...and I already had Semi-Tough . Oh well, lots of good titles to exchange them for.

thursdaynighter

Are you talking about NBC's Heroes, s1? If so, what a find.

bigjim25

Damn, you mean they raised them a $1. Whatever you do, don't try to flush yours down the toilet like xage did. Personally, I think that's a waste of time because they won't go down.

laidbacklarkin

All $3 a pop. Am scared to hit the other BigLots near my place.

JJE-187

Heroes was the NBC show and it was used. All the disc seemed in great shape, probally been buffed before being re-sealed

Promethean

^ Looks like I'll be hitting my local BLs tomorrow.

thursdaynighter

Ok, I'm lost...is Heroes in the toilet because the person hates the show? Hates the DVD set? Just likes placing random objects into dirty bowls of water? Art form?

red5bv06

^ He did it to prove to the people on here that he did in fact buy it for cheap at Big Lots since he was the only one who found one.

It provided a good laugh back when it first happened.

Spaceballs (Mel Brooks 2 disc Collector's Edition)

Good find. Wish I hadn't just bought the regular release outta the WalMart five buck bin.

CalvinHobbes

Jesse, did you find that in the Pittsburg store?

Promethean

Here's some stuff I found today:

Bright Lights, Big City
Huckleberry Finn

also saw Robocop 2 and 3

Cardsfan111

I picked up "Capote" from a Big Lots today for $3.

Scanned the last couple of pages and didn't see it listed.

lolitazz

The only place that has received the restock is Coconut Creek and they had it like for 2 weeks already. That place always gets everything first and they get A LOT. In Broward I checked University & Commercial (Tamarac) on Tuesday while doing my taxes but they had nothing. I think that's probably the same store you checked (too many VHS there)

Miami has nothing yet either. I don't understand.

JJE-187

Yep, it was in the front tables with all the Sony DVDs.

Autolycus

I stopped by one of the local Big Lots this afternoon.

No MGM titles, but they did have a few $3.00 Sony titles which I hadn't seen in our area before:

Texas (1941 western with William Holden and Glenn Ford)
The Cutter (2005 - Chuck Norris)
Mo' Money (1992 - Fullscreen)
Nadine (1987 - Kim Basinger)
Loser (2000 - Jason Biggs, Mena Suvari)
Touch Of Pink (2004)
Banjo Hackett: Roamin' Free (1976 western with Don Meredith, Chuck Connors, Anne Francis, Slim Pickens. Fullscreen, but since this was a made-for-TV movie, 1.33:1 is the correct OAR)

I also bought a copy of the widescreen/fullscreen flipper of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (this lone copy was mixed in on the rack with copies of the later fullscreen only release).

I opened it when I got home and it is indeed the old WS/FS version.

GenPion

I hope this arrives at my Big Lots. I've never seen it but that is an awesome find. $3 for an Akira Kurosawa film? You can't beat that (especially with most of his movies being on Criterion).

CaseyB

Saw Spaceballs (I already picked it up about a year ago at Target for $7.50) and a bunch of Robocop 3 copies at the local store yesterday.

3dipper

Found Torture Garden which hasn't been mentioned, but not some of the new, desirable titles like Easy Rider.
