"Offer applies only to purchases made by retail customers from the Amazon.com Movies & TV Store. Limit 20 free units per customer. "

That's probably cut-and-paste from last month's buy-two-get-one-free deals.

Thanks OP! Picked up 10 movies for $77. Dang NY tax!

If your order hasn't shipped, you might want to go back and cancel your order and re-order...alot of the $29 - $25 etc movies dropped below $20...I think one or two of the bond movies dropped in price as well to all @ $17.49 or w/e

You can also use the "call" or "email" link in Amazon's help page and they will adjust the prices in your order. No need to cancel. This applies to orders that have not yet shipped.

10 movies folks...10 blu-ray movies (the $15.00 was a gift certificate) for 6.59 each....now THAT is a Black Friday deal!

Thanks, you just saved me > $20. I owe you a beer.

Edit: 30 movies for 204 = 6.80 each. Looking to wind up with 18 movies at ~$1-$3 a piece once I dump the 2 extra Bond sets. GREAT deal!

The prices dropped on the non-bond movies; everything is $19.99 or less. I might have to bite on this one.

10 blurays for less than $60. Thanks OP!

Can you really see an improvement in the picture or sound with Blu-Ray in a movie that was released in the 60's or 70's? Great deal regardless, I just want to know if the older releases show an improvement.

Yes, well, with video at least. Believe it or not, movies filmed even in the 20's used film cameras with resolutions much higher than even today's current HDTVs. If you look at an HD-DVD or upcoming blu-ray release of Casablanca you will be floored at how good "old" movies look on HD. That being said, sound was recorded at pretty poor levels back in the day, so don't expect much improvement with the exception of clarity.

Just about anything that was filmed including most TV shows will show a great deal more detail/color saturation/contrast on Blu Ray than
on DVD - assuming that the film elements have been properly cared for (not always the case) and a reasonable person transfers that to the disc.

35mm film has far more information than even BR can show properly (about 2k resolution for comparison sake). Some people claim 35mm resolution on 4K or even 8K resolution is possible with a very good 35 mm film stock. Many epics were filmed on 70mm film which is far beyond anything that the best current digital media can show. The Adventures of Robin Hood is from the 30's and looks great on BR, the HD Casablanca was just spectacular and is coming out on BR soon.

Optics have improved marginally over the last century, film stocks have improved a little. Some say the old Nitrate based film stock was even superior
in performance to much modern film though terribly unstable and difficult to store properly. 3 strip Technicolor processed yield just amazing results.

Sound on the other hand has progressed exponentially compared to the old stuff. Even stereo is pretty rare on many older films leading to much debate
about leaving the original Mono soundtracks intact or processing the sound to some sort of fake stereo/surround.

Pls advise
Only what is on the list...
