other places to check out:

pawn shops - I bought some right before christmas at a local pawn shop for $5 and $6 each. just be sure to check the disks for scratches

video rental places will frequently sell excess copies of movies on dvd (like they used to do with vhs tapes) once the movie drops out of heavy rotation. this is especially true of big hit movies (like say a Matrix or LOTR). you will have to wait about 6 months or so after release though.

look for places that buy and sell video games, cds and dvds. sometimes you can get great bargains that way.

video rental places that go out of business usually have a BIG sale to unload inventory.

go to your local library and borrow those movies that you want to see but not necessarily own. just dont expect to find new releases there. I find that my library had better selection of older films than Blockbuster does. great way to save $$

if you have a cdr/w or dvdr/w, you can borrow or rent dvds and then make copies. this is how I have built the bulk of my movie collection.

usenet newsgroups are a great place to download movies to burn to disc or dvd, but ONLY if you have a broadband connection.
