(CC) after a title = New release in the Criterion Collection.

Individual Titles in the Collections Listed Above:
The Henry Fonda Film Collection (DVD): Not a clue. It is a Fox release, but I can't find a list of included titles anywhere.
The Disclaimer
| Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price. I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. The titles included are those that I am interested in...as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don't get paid for this, and I don't have the time to list every DVD. So, please don't complain! If there is a title not included in the RoundUp that you want to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone! Note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the RoundUp. They set prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is no way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club location. And, Circuit City is still out of business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their prices anyway). |

They also show the spines of The Master and Life of Pi (but are not clear which format is on sale). There is also a $5 or less category which includes the Blu of When Harry Met Sally and other $4.75 titles. There is also a $7 to $10 movie list and a $25 or less list of some TV title DVDs.
