Today I was at a used record store...and for $12 I found the Silence of the Lambs Criterion Disc.
That's a great find indeed ! Brazil Criterion at 35$ is the best deal I've ever seen but I passed on it since I still didn't have the money
I saw a used Criterion "Hard Boiled" for $50, but passed it up since I already had it. Should've snatched it up and sold it for $200 on ebay.
Deal of the century is when I bought a DVD 2pack of Pi and Requiem for a Dream
$20
It bears repeating

The Big Lebowski. $9.99. One of the funniest movies ever made (and one of the best in my opinion), and it's almost at bargain bin status. Of course, I saw Waking Life for a similar price tag. And Donnie Darko. And The Ice Storm. Obviously, quality in DVDs is not measured by how much they cost. I have all of these, at least. And, well, you know all the shit that gets sold, and sold, and sold for $20+. Gary Jules was right. It's a mad world.
EDIT: I use way too many fucking commas sometimes.
the pianist 2 disc canadian 10 bucks
..speaking of the $9.99 dvds ....you can find Y Tu Mama Tambien for that price...

Yep, that's another one that I bought recently. Was a bit disappointed in it, but still a decent film. Also, Blood Simple. Excellent film. Coen Brothers' first (for those who don't know, which I think should be pretty much no one here so forget I said anything :-D).

this is getting of topic but I recently saw Blood Simple...the ending is excellent and so is the beginning but I was a little disappointed with the middle.
Still a very good debut.

Not much of a deal, you could have bought that new for less when it first came out.
