Oh well. Just bit on this deal. It was $31.96 this morning. Now down to $24.95. With the $15 BB gift card with $100 iTunes purchase it basically brings down the price to $5.31 each.

Yay. Patience is a virtue. $6.25 each is a great deal! And to answer Robert’s question "Are people really trying to defend iTunes?" You bet I am! I still find 20+ sale items a month to buy. For iTunes the "Essential Holiday 4-Film Bundle" is $6.25 per each in 4K where Vudu only has the HD versions on sale and is still charging full price for the 4K versions.

I picked up the set too. I had the discs and sent them back. I really thought they’d drop down below $20.

Didn’t you buy it last week at the higher price tho? Patience young Padawan.

I bought it for $35. I wasn’t sure if it would drop any lower and I wanted to watch the new transfers this year. I know sales on iTunes can be feast or famine. At any rate a lot cheaper than $20+ each as the discs are still priced that way.

Quick Change dropped to $5 for the first time in about 3 years.

Anyone run into single titles just missing from the entire TV app "Movies" list? Apparently I had Rare Exports in my Library, but it doesn't show in that master list. I also just bought Good Will Hunting and that's not there either, but searchable. So it makes me wonder what else I'm not seeing...

Nevermind on Good Will Hunting. It showed up after I restarted the app. Not sure what the story is on Rare Exports though...

 

[TonyD]

All the Planet of the Apes are $5 each.

9 movie set is $35

There doesn’t seem to be a set of the original 6 movies.

 

[dpippel]

iTunes has the Planet of the Apes Trilogy (Rise/Dawn/War) in 4K on sale for $9.99.

I notice I'm hesitating about upgrading my Tim Burton Planet of the Apes DVD to HD digital copy, even though it's only $5.

That one never actually happened. Just toss the DVD and remember it as some sorta whacky, Tim Burton nightmare, haha...

At this point, I only care if they have the original in 4K -- I already have the (non-Burton) reboot ones in 4K... and don't care much about the old sequels though I'd consider them in a super bargain bundle (like $15 for all 6 combined w/ the original in 4K at least) I guess...

[Ronald Epstein]

Is the original being offered in 4k? That would be the only one I would be interested in as well.

 

[Citizen87645]

The original doesn't appear to be in 4K.

On a hunch, I downloaded Rare Exports and let it sit for a few days and it appears to be in my library now.

UPDATE: Well, that was kind of a short lived resolution. It is in my library as long as I have the download (makes sense), but if I remove the download it will no longer be listed, although I can do a search or access it through my history and watch it by streaming. I looked through my history of purchases a few times, and it doesn't show up there, which is the other oddity. So for some reason I have access to it, but no record of having purchased it. Obviously I like the movie well enough I should just buy the BD, so that will likely be my long term solution. I promise I am done talking about the issue now; thanks for indulging me

 

[Citizen87645]

These price drops are turning out to be a good litmus test of whether I want to upgrade from DVD or don't ever want to watch the movie again. I.e. Burton's Planet of the Apes, still haven't bought it; Say Anything and Swingers, no hesitation.

I.e. Burton's Planet of the Apes,

I enjoyed Burton’s POTA as a one off. Great Gary Oldman performance. Great makeup.

And it was a hit too. Grossing the equivalent of nearly $600 million WW in todays dollars.

Whatever is wrong with that movie, the makeup is a miracle.

Gary Oldman wasn’t in the POTA remake at least according to IMDB. Was he uncredited like in Hannibal? Maybe I am missing a joke.

Probably thinking of Tim Roth.
