Hollywood Video Closing Sales (YMMV)

[FlamedLiquid]

Well, my friend told me yesterday that a local Hollywood Video was closing down. The one in Essexville, MI. So I went there today. Every new release movie was 30% off of $14.99 while everything else was 30% off of $10. Games were either 25 or 30% off, couldnt remember. They will be dropping down to 50% later on followed by 75%. I heard another Hollywood Video near me closed down a bit over a month ago. That one was in Lafeyette, MI, and I didnt even know about it, so a Hollywood Video near you may be closing down.

I picked up:

George Washington Criterion
Man Bites Dog Criterion
Cinema Paradiso
The Short Films of David Lynch
Lolita
Animal Farm
The Works of Spike Jonze
Eraserhead
Repo Man
Scanners
Cannibal! The Musical
Casshern

All for $6.99 each, and than bought

Jingle All The Way new for $7.49.

There new movies were on sale as well, but that was the only one that caught my interest spending wise.

Was hoping to find some more Criterions, but the only other 2 they had I already own:

The Royal Tennenbaums
Naked Lunch

They had alot of movies though. Will most likely be going back when I get paid next week. Hopefully they will be down to 50% by than and still have some nice titles left.

This kind of makes up for my Gamestops not doing the Buy 2 Get 4 Free sale.

I found these Sherlock Hound DVDs at my store and figures I would pick them up for my daughter. Got home and checked amazon and was shocked to see them selling at $70-90 a dvd!! I guess if she doesn't like them I can make a profit on my $5 a disc purchase.

I was just at the Hollywood Video in Somersworth, NH on Friday. They were selling their titles for $6.99 or 3/$15. BluRays were $10 and Video Games were 40% off.

I've been thinking about going back today to pick up a few more titles I've almost regretted not picking up.
