$1 (One Dollar) DVDs at Dollar Tree Stores

[conehead433]

I was at my local Dollar Tree store and managed to find a copy of the original "Little Shop Of Horrors" with Jack Nicholson. Also grabbed "Boot Hill" starring Terrence Hill of the Trinity movies. These were in color as were several cartoons including Superman, Casper, Woody Woodpecker, Betty Boop, Popeye and Mighty Mouse. There were hundreds of B&W discs that included old Lucy, Dragnet, Gilligan's Island and all kinds of old TV series. I only spotted a few more color discs that were with Rutger Hauer in one and Anthony Hopkins in another that were obviously movies they had made very early in their careers. There were many older movies including John Wayne in "Angel & The Badman", Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in "Road To Bali", a James Stewart movie or two, Marilyn Monroe in one, and too may others for me to have remembered. So if you appreciate the quality of some of these older movies and series, and don't mind seeing them in B&W, go check it out. DVDs selling for what they're worth. What more could you ask for?

Out in So. Cal. we have "99 Cents Only" store and they have 99 cent dvd's including the first three episodes of the Lone Ranger including the tv pilot (all on one dvd), three Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes B&W classics, the Lucy Show, Andy Griffith Show, Ozzie & Harriett Show and a bunch of old B&W movies.

Saw on another site that Eckerd's may have a bunch of these same discs in a 50 pack for $19.99.

Certainly looks like YMMV.

Found two really good oldies at $1 for those who might appreciate them:

His Girl Friday starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell (one of the top 100 AFI movies of all time)
The Inspector General starring Danny Kaye

None of the DVD's were in typical DVD cases at my local Dollar Tree. They were in a box, near the cash registers and some CDs, with paper folding covers.

I've bought a bunch of these. They have the same brand (Movie Classics) at both the Dollar Tree and the 99 Cents Only stores, though YMMV as to titles available. They have some classics like His Girl Friday and House On Haunted Hill, Humphrey Bogart's Beat the Devil, and Hitchcock's The 39 Steps. They come in cheap cardboard sleeves and the descriptions on the cover don't mention things like who the director was and the descriptions contain words like "loose" when they mean "lose" but they are a buck and work just fine.

Bootlegged DVDs? Still, some great deals on classic movies. Thumbs up on Hitchcock's 39 Steps, Bob Hope/Bing Crosby's Road movies, old Lucy shows (the ones with Ricky), etc. :thumbsup:

 

[yukichigai]

If they have To Kill a Mockingbird that is easily worth $5. Wasn't it AFIs #1 movie?

It was damn good, whatever rank it is.

Oh yeah, anybody found Dr. Strangelove?

Actually, I think most of these tiltes are now public domain, so anyone who wants to can make copies and sell them. That's one of the reasons the picture quality on some of these is a huge YMMV since some could have been made from old VHS tapes or whatever.

DingDingDing. This man is correct.

I got one of these... can't remember exactly which one it was, had Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in it. The DVD transfer was from film, and the first 3-7-9 or so minutes of the original film was CRAP, but then it got better and was definitely worth a buck. Watched it with parents and grandma and they were just fine with it.

you must be either REALLY young to have never heard of any of those, or just kind of clueless. But you know what they say, only stupid people are breeding.

I wonder if any of these would be good when EB runs another one of those "Any DVD for $10.00" trade-in specials.
