Looks like it'll be time to pick up the following for ~$22.50/each:

Garden of Evil
The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Panic in Needle Park
Zelig


Of the 2011-2013 titles, the only one I haven't had a chance to see to decide on whether I wanted to own it is The Only Game in Town. For ~$7.50 I'll blind buy it and check it out.

[jayembee]

There are only four titles in the 2011-2013 group that I don't have. Two of them I'm benignly indifferent to, but for $7.50 each, I'll grab them up as well.

There are 75 titles in the 2014-2015 group that I don't have. Maybe 10-12 are ones that I would really like to have. Another 10 I'd like to have, but are lower priority.

There are 34 titles in the 2016 group that I don't have. There are several that I'd really like to have, but I can do without for now.

So, I'm figuring on maybe a $200 order. I won't be ordering until Friday, so it's possible I might miss out on a title or two if there's a massive sell-out on some of them. But there's only one title currently on the LQA list that I don't have, and it's one that I'm not jonesing for, so...

Actually, I see that I have two paydays during the sale, so I might be able to add a few more of the 2014-2015 titles to the eventual total.

[Buscemi]

The sale started a bit early.

Picked up:
Bonjour Tristesse $7.95
The Other $7.95
Sexy Beast $7.95
The Sound and the Fury $4.95

If they still have it in the next few days, I might pick up Rapture (I couldn't find it in the early listing).

[The Great Owl]

Okay, despite my sentiments in my above meme, I managed to clean up pretty nicely during this sale...

Philadelphia - $7.95

[belcherman]

Desiree -- $7.95
The Rains of Ranchipur -- $7.95
Manhunt -- $14.95
The Detective -- $14.95

@ $55 total.

[Jobla]

I finally sprung for a copy of RAPTURE, after reading about it here for what seems like years. $7.95 is probably about as low as it will go.

I think I may have seen it on TV once in the mid-late 1960's, but have virtually no recollection of it. So, this is essentially a blind-buy for me, other than the rave reviews in this forum.

[warrian]

Picked up

The Russia House
Romeo Is Bleeding
Panic In Needle Park
The Black Stallion Returns
Cat Ballou
A Prayer for the Dying
Cutter's Way
Julia
Exodus

All were $22.50. So, not the greatest of deals but still a savings of about $100 on titles I was sure to pick up at some point anyway. Wish there were some older titles I really wanted at these prices, but sadly for me, I've already picked though those pretty thoroughly.

[CinemaScope]

Under Fire $14.95 I've been meaning to buy that for a while.

[mca213]

Is Major Dundee sold out? It was in my cart and now its gone.

It's possible. Last time (early October) there was a Low Quantity Alert, it was under 300.

[RalphoR]

What a great sale! I really don't need anything but I love the fact that the sale overlaps the December pre-order date so I can make one big order. The caveat is a few titles that I'm contemplating may very well be gone. It's just the chance I'll have to take.

[Doctor Jack]

Picked up...

Jane Eyre
Bonjour Tristesse
The Roots of Heaven

All for $29 and some change. Wish their shipping prices were better or that there was a free shipping threshold. Would have bought more if that was the case.

[RalphoR]

If First Men in the Moon survives this sale I will have to reevaluate the faith I have in the sanity of my fellow movie aficionados.

being that I've never seen Twilight Titles for under $10... I think that's a pretty safe bet!
