I love finding gems on DVD for $1. What are you favorite cheapies?

My favorite $1 DVD is Bela Lugosi in THE CORPSE VANISHES (1942).

I hate to say it, but it was the BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS. Good clear picture and sound. Roger Corman's FAST AND FURRIOUS was pretty good.

The worst was a DRAGNET, where they dubbed over the music with some bad keyboard theme of their own and a bad picture quality.

Someone at my house got that as well, it's not too bad from the bits I've watched.

My personal favourite purchases for around the $1 mark [I'm allowing for conversion of currency here] is probably House On the Haunted Hill original, Plan 9, Night of the Ghouls and Bride of the Monster [which I got for the princely sum of AU$2 each]

But my favourite of all time, which isn't mine and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get it, is my friend's copy of Death Race 2000 which he picked up for AU$2.50.

Snagged a good looking copy of Night of the Living Dead at the Wally Mart.

I also have two discs of the Fleischer Superman cartoons. I believe there 17 of them in total, but the two discs I have only have 8 eps each. These are great looking cartoons and were much of the inspiration for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.




And you thought Trek isn't cool.

Santa Claus (1959), an ultra weird little K. Gordon Murray import from Mexico that I found at the DallarTree last December.
This was the first time I ecountered $1 DVDs, so I got a little caried away, but I liked this whole weird little Santa Vs. Satan scenerio, so I bought a copy for everybody on my Christmas list.
