It does have a storyboard book, it caught my attention because the overall presentation is pretty good.
Now that I've learned about the movie a bit I'm glad I purchased it, seems like I ought to give it a watch

Just the one today, £1.50.

[CrockettandTubbs]

£1: check; shiny slipcover: check; film with mostly lukewarm reviews: check -



Mind you, I managed to sit through The Tourist without any unwanted side effects!

I’m not a fan of comic book films in general, but I do like Christopher Nolan’s work. Over time, I’ve picked up all three of his Batman films in charity shops.

Yeah, I’m pleased with Harry Brown. Caine is great in it.

£0.99 without one of those ugly numbered Pixar character slipcovers.

That's a nice find for 99p.
Only notable title I've seen recently was a sealed copy of Inferno 4K in the Lowestoft BHF. They were were asking £10 for it discounted from £13.99.

Not around our way.

Because someone bought the only copy and donated it to their local British Heart Foundation shop.

Possibly. But I’m more than comfortable paying an additional 99p on an impulse purchase. There are plenty of tight-arses on this forum who fret about such things; I’m not one of them.

I console myself at times like this with the fact I’ve donated to charity and got a free Blu-ray in return for my kindness

My thought process is very different to yours, with regard to the charitable cause. But if that works for you, good luck to you.

I believe it was Feargal Sharkey who once sang "A good heart these days is hard to find... so please be happy at 2.99" or something.

No blu-ray, but I'm happy with these (1€ a piece)

Of Time and the City is great, 1 euro well spent.

Don't recognize the other two but if the one on the left is English friendly I'd have had all three.

Nice haul, some genuinely great films there. And Forrest Gump. The Polar Express is quite enjoyable rather than the stinker some make it out to be. It's also the only film I've ever seen that was actually improved by being viewed in 3D.
