Attack of the $1 DVDs

fm6 writes "The NY Times has an interesting piece on DVDs that sell for one or two bucks. Not all of them are crap -- apparently a lot of good movies never got copyrighted properly. But there's no silent movies ('not mass market'), or movies that aren't 'family friendly.' Here's what I find really interesting: none of the DVD companies mentioned in the article sell online -- it's all through discount bins in supermarkets and drug stores."

  1. Some of the Highlights I've bought by JoeCommodore · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Here are some I had found that were really good:
    • Popeye Cartoons (there is a series of four discs, very good qulaity
    • Santa Claus vs. the Martians (a true classic!)
    • Off the wall and calssic horror movies - Bela Lugosi meets the Brooklyn Gorilla and other obvious 60s/70s schlock
    • classics like Road to Bali and the Inspector General
    • Some Little Rascals Episodes
    • Three stooges cartoons (I haven't had the guts to grab those, they are pretty lame)
    Everytime I see such a display I find it worth my tme.
