$5 DVD's win.

[VirusType2]

I scored some pretty good DVD's for under $5, and now have gone ape-shit trying to buy every good movie for as cheap as possible.


Now, I am on a quest. I want to watch a different movie every day of the year.

Ok, well who has time for that? But I want to have a huge surplus of movies that I can just pick one out and play it when I get home from work.



Anyone know any places to shop online?

I don't want to buy used. I don't want to join a club. I don't want to buy crappy movies from 1974 that nobody would want.

I just want to visit a website, view pictures of the movie boxes, click on the ones to dump in my cart, and check out.

For example, I bought 4 movies from a local Wal-mart store for $5 each. The selection had been raped, and was little left.

I got Tigerland, Changing Lanes, Good Night, and Good Luck, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I saw a couple other good ones but I only want widescreen movies, because full screen movies suck, especially on my widescreen TV


Anyway, it's almost $4 to rent a new release movie in town for one night, so I figured I would just buy them for a dollar more, and get the new releases when the price comes to $5.



So where do you guys shop?

I need help finding a very cheap online store with a good selection to buy from. Preferably the cheapest store in the world, quite literally.

Good choices, Tigerland especially... that was a surprise hit with me.

Get Fightclub if you haven't seen it, thought you should know that.

that list will keep you busy for awhile... not sure about buying 'em for $5 though

I usually shop as to get 3 dvds all for about $20.

Tigerland - great movie, great purchase

OK, I'm lovin my new Widescreen 1080i HD TV, and my 1080i upscaling stand alone DVD player with HDMI. It also plays Divx, 3ivx, and XviD .avi files. . With my tremendous sound system, I am really enjoying this.

It takes like 1 minute to burn an avi file movie to DVD, and I just put it in my DVD player.


So as I've said I'm on this movie flick kick, and so I went to wal mart, and they had re-stocked the $5 movie section. They even lowered the price to 4.88 on many of them.


So I picked out nearly all of the widescreen movies, except a few of the chick flicks, and sucky ones.

I bought:

Escape from New York
Lost Junction
Terminator 2
Terminator 3
Wonderland
along came a spider
15 minutes
Enemy at the Gates
High Tension
The Ninth Gate
The Score
Minority Report
National Lamboon's Going the Distance
Barber Shop 2
Green Street Hooligans
Resivoir Dogs
Hart's War
Bloodwork
The Legend of Bagger Vance

and the four movies I mentioned in the OP ^

I accidentally bought 2 of one of them, and I want to bring Bloodwork back as well, since I noticed it wasn't widescreen.

Really, you should have seen people staring at me. I had a stack of movies like 2 or more feet high.


I've only watched one of them.

High Tension - pretty average, but still interesting.

I'm watching the Legend of Bagger Vance right now (paused it). It's a good movie. It was the only movie I bought that wasn't rated R, and I had relatives over (children)

A couple of them I had already seen, but **** it, at this price, I'm buying all the movies I like.

I'll be putting personal reviews of them in "Rate the Last Movie you saw" thread as I see them.


I'm still looking for an online store with a better selection if anyone knows where to get good movies for cheap.

Thanks.

Hell, upscaled DVD wins anyway, because all the older films weren't even shot in HD if I'm not mistaken. I mean, HD DVD and Blu Ray are just a waste of money right now, unless you are a total videophile and buys movies the day they come out.

You bought a bunch of shitty ones.

Barber Shop? Hart's War? Going the Distance? Terminator 3? D:

Barber Shop 2? It's got to be funny.

Well, they are all kind of shitty if you look at it. I can't name a handful of movies I'd buy for more than like $10.



Terminator 3? I like action flicks, just like I like my games. As long as shit is blowing up it should be entertaining.

I usually watch a movie, then don't watch it again for a year or two. By that time, I've forgotten most of it.

They were $5. Thats less than a movie ticket to own it.
