Building a DVD collection

[Shilly]

Shawshank Redemption is the nuts.

I don't have much of a TV nor a DVD player but do have a DVD player on my computer and a 22" Viewsonic Professional Series CRT so lately when I do my neccessities shopping at Walmart I've been picking up a few bargains. Here are a few:

DOA starring Edmond Obrien for $1!

Birth of a Nation, The Brothers McMullen, Steve Martin's Lonely Guy, and a compiliation from D-Day (including the "Why We Fight" movies) all for about $5 each.

Deliverance, Das Boot, The Big Lebowski and Donnie Brasco all for about $8 each.

Is there any other B&M store for this type of bargin? Having a few of these in stock sure beats going out to the video store.

Jeez those are some great movies at great bargains! My envy is definitely due, and incoming.

Nobody mentioned

Godfather?

What about Platoon, Heat, Braveheart. just to name a quick few i own.

Also Sopranos, Band of Brothers and Man with no Name box sets. Looking forward to Seinfeld, and I need Simpsons as well.

Anyone can just rattle off a list of their favorites. Nothing particularly valuable in that. Everybody favors something.

That said, since you mentioned t.v., I'll mention some of my t.v. favorites -- The Nightstalker and The Outer Limits. I think the Outer Limits seeason 1 set was one of the best bang for the bucks I've indulged in.

Ah. A dilettante!

agreed. how do they get these so cheap? could they be "off-market" i.e., copies?

Off the top of my head, I'd add A Beautiful Mind and some Tarantino films. At least Pulp Fiction, and possibly Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. In a completely different direction, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a classic.
