Best DVD in the Walmart Bin ?
I been picking up a few DVDs here n there at the Walmart Bins for a while since they been priced at $5.50/$5.88 and grabbed a few good titles like Strange Days, Muhammad Ali: Through the Eyes of the World, Michael Jordan to the Max, The Contender:Special Edition to name a few. So for overall quality (Sound, Video, Features, etc...) which of these Walmart Bin DVDs is the best for the 5+ dollars?
I kinda think Muhammad Ali: Through the Eyes of the World is up there. Any others worth looking for???
Thanks

Casualties Of War... The only one I've picked up from the $5.50 bin that I still own.
Strange Days is non-anamorphic or I would grab that one... The Contender is a pretty good disc and a decent film. Tigerland is OK. Other than those, I've yet to see much of interest.

But, I suppose as a public service to others, I'll 2nd JuryDuty's mention... this has got the whole package. Fantastic film with a fantastic DVD. Probably the best $5.50 you could spent.

Against All Odds SE is a good one.
Didn't know about Strange Days, I'll pick that one up.

Creepshow
Manhunter (AB single disc theatrical cut)
Casualties of War

You can find many of the Fox Hong Kong DVDs in the 5.50 bin. I just picked up Eastern Condors. Great price.

I was fortunate enough to have stumbled across Dark City about a month ago. Never saw it before, haven't seen it since. A couple of other goodies that I plucked from there were Logan's Run and a second vote for Falling Down.

While not necessarily a find, I saw Titanic in the bin at one Wal-Mart.
I also got Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell out of the bin only a week after it had been released.
Other bin picks:
Freeway
Rambo II
