I just found some rereleases of movies sold at Target. I have submitted one of them it's Better off Dead with John Cusak. I scanned the UPC and it wasn't in the database so I have uploaded the profile for consideration. As I travel around I am seeing more and more releases of the classic 80's teen type movies such as this one.

Target began releasing the "I love the 80's" editions a couple of months ago. I've added a couple of them myself to the Database, namely the two Crocodile Dundee titles .

I'm not sure the "I Love the 80s" are unique to Target.  I thought they were another example of producers trying to entice double dipping.

They're not.  I've seem them for sale at retailers here in Canada as well as several online sources.  The ones I've seen contain a "bonus" CD with four 80's songs (unrelated to the actual film they're packaged with).

Yeah, these are all over the place.  A number of the titles aren't even rehashing the latest transfers but are, instead, using even older original transfers.  All in all, a fairly blatant cash grab on the part of the studio.  And that bonus CD is identical across all the movies in the line.
