DVD bargains…

Bestbuy.com is selling The Harryhausen Chronicles, a disc featuring trailers and documentaries on the various films of special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen, for $10, which is half price. They are also selling the first season set of the classic ’60s TV series The Outer Limits for $45, a muscular 45% off the list price.

Canadian retailer DVDsoon.com is selling the superlative Twilight Zone: Season One Definative Edition set for $69 American, 42% off list. Even more impressively, they are selling the nine film Star Trek: The Motion Picture Collection for $113 American, nearly 60% off list. The three Woody Allen Collections are also heavily discounted, and the entire five-season run of the classic Dick Van Dyke show is available for about $140 American, 42% off list.

  • Isn’t The Harryhausen Chronicles included with most stand-alone editions of his films? I recall watching a 30 minute or so doc (hosted by Leonard Nimoy) on the Earth vs. Flying Saucers DVD.

  • I think that’s correct. However, this is a cheap way to collect them all that material on one disc, and also to get the documentaries if you don’t wish to buy each and every separate film of his.
