I'm pissed off. My brother found "Every Which way but loose" in the $5.50 bargain bin at Walmart, I have probably bought a good 20 to 30 DVDs from the bargain bin over time, some are great classics and 80s movies, while others were mistakes (Don't buy "Octagon" even if you are a big Chuck Norris fan. The movie blows)

That being said, watch whatever one you you want to watch, if you can't decide, go with whichever has the best rating on imdb.com .

Sams Club also has the Clint Eastwood films. Might check there if your looking for that DVD. They were around $5 or $6 last time I checked.

I have .. I could always just order it from IMDB or amazon for like $10 .... but It's more of an adventure to look through the discount bins

It's actually scary, my Eastwood collection is close to 30 DVDs ....

Ok, since we're on the subject. Has anyone found that digging to the bottom of the bin will yeild better titles than just sloshing through the top. There is too much Andy Griffith/Stooges/random western/crappy kids movies at the top of the bin, and the lady always gets annoyed when I have to dig to the bottom. Unfortunately my trek to the bottom has never yeilded one of those titles where you say, "OMGWTFDVD", but I'm just wondering if any of you have found any hidden treasures towards the bottom?

I found the superbit version of Panic Room but it was somewhat close to the top.

I got "Freejack" a while ago from that bin.

I stand proudly by that purchase.

:beer: That makes two of us in the lower 48 who would consider buying that DVD. Only one currently owns it though.

Some of my great grabs from "The Bin":

- Shaft in Africa. Not a good movie (how many part 3's are?), but if you have a blaxploitation collection then it's not complete without it.
- Cyborg 2. Starring a then-unknown Angelina Jolie as a sexy fembot, and Jack Palance... clearly the stuff B-Movies are made of.
- 10 Kung-Fu Classics collection. Actually the exact remote opposite of "classic"... in fact this is such an antithesis to the word "Classic" that sometimes I suspect that even using the word "classic" in the same sentence as it might cause the DVD to spontaneously cease to exist in a dazzling burst of anti-matter. Mostly a bunch of Bruce Lee clonery (Bruce Li / Bruce Le / Dragon Lee / etc) but it's great to watch on mute while drunk with a box of fried rice.

Chuck Norris fan? That's like the saddest thing I've heard all day.

Just last night my girlfriend and I dug through that entire bin looking for Interview with The Vampire, no luck, had to buy it for $20 at the mall. There were some surprisingly decent titles in there, though.

 

[pyonir]

I pulled Tigerland. That's my favorite movie i've pulled from the Wally world bargain bin.

 

[Kelemvor]

Sneakers is an AWESOME movie! One of my favorites movies to this day.

Tons of stars in it too.
Robert Redford
Sidney Poitier
Dan Aykroyd
River Phoenix
James Earl Jones

Sneakers for $5 is a sweet deal.

 

[DainBramaged]

Sneakers = :thumbsup:

 

[rh71]

another :thumbsup: for Sneakers.

And it's a bargain at $5, but I don't collect DVDs.

The Net was a terrible movie. The worst part is knowing that everything she's doing on the computer and everything the bad guys were doing were HIGHLY UNLIKELY and made up B.S....


As for Sandra Bullock....

 

[rudder]

$20 and you get four crappy flicks? You should have joined netflix for a month and you could have seen about 12 movies for the same $$$.

 

[jtvang125]

Is it just me or does it look ghetto digging through that bin? Every time I walk by that bin, the only people I see digging through it are people who look like they do nothing but eat and watch movies all day.

 

[Blayze]

Not really. I see everyone going though the thing at our store.

I found a subway bag in there once. Guess someone couldn't find a trash can after they ate lunch. Pretty nasty.

 

[Saint Nick]

the net is one of those movies that makes you laugh on line because it has all these fake hacking programs and fake chatting programs. its just a joke all around. especially to guys a guy like me, being the n3rd i am.

 

[DeadByDawn]

I pulled enemy at the gates out of there last week, good flick.

 

[Kev]

now i want to buy sneakers

dude, the praetorian is realistic. you can hack things by clicking an icon in the corner, duh.

my wife likes bedazzled, that was in the walmart dealbin. Evolution was funny, that was there too.

The good stuff usually gets picked off the top first, leaving the top stuff junk by the time you get to it.
You have to dig deep for th good stuff.
