Probably gonna Head there (see what I did there) next weekend, hope there's something left for me...in particular Forrest Gump as I'd quite like that one (I don't live in Bristol but am visiting).

[bigdavehopes]

They had at least 10-15 of them today so hopefully they'll have some left for you

thanks for the heads up
aint that typical I have all 3 of those steels
tis a weird shop (got a feeling it belongs to zavvi/the hut) dont like that they sell rental copies and they dont have a great selection for blu-ray but I appreciate them all the same especially when low on funds and in need of a fix

Especially as Zavvi became Head (a different one though)

I went in there last year a number of times and wasn't very inspired. There seemed to be way more DVDs than Blu-rays, and the cheap Blu-rays were rubbish films, and other ones were a little bit overpriced. Some of the titles definitely seemed shelf worn

I always head into Fopp instead, but still go into Head on the off chance. I normally go to Bristol quite regularly, but not sure when I'll be going this year

This and Fopp is why I go to Bristol regularly

Fopp's a chain, they have stores across the country. There's (or at least there used to be) one in Nottingham that was good for underground music and indie films...

Those steelbooks were all £5 a few weeks ago, so they've now realised they were selling them too cheap even though £7 is still very good. It's a good store for rare Disney Blu rays as well as I bought Sleeping Beauty for £13 last month as well.

There used to be a FOPP in Bath, but I'm not sure if it is still open... I haven't been back there for a couple of years.

I can remember getting some great bargains on Tartan DVDs from that HEAD store in The Galleries a few years ago. I also remember when it used to be a Virgin Megastore!

I was able to get quite a few of the Tartan DVDs I was missing from there about 2-3 years ago. Titles like Dumplings and Three Extremes for around £3-£4. A lot cheaper than they were going for online at the time

If you happen to go further south I noticed there's one in Exeter too. The Bristol store is a regular for me whenever I go up there - often have very cheap rare DVD's, or films that are very niche at very low prices. Some great bargains I've got there include the BFI Godzilla DVD, and last time I was there I got some stuff in the blue cross sale for £2-3 each. Head is not as good but occasionally some stuff cheaper in there than even Fopp (or Rise). Don't think I've found any decent blu-rays for cheap at either - although almost bought a few blu-rays in the blue cross sale at Fopp but didn't in the end.

Thanks for the tip, I also go to Bristol as they have a Showcase Deluxe

HEAD is not independent, it's a chain store founded by Zavvi/TheHut. It currently has five locations throughout the UK.
