What is a good website to buy new DVDs and videos? I’d like to get my mother a copy of the movie _Savannah Smiles_, a sort of sweet family film from the '80’s. She has it on VHS, but I’d like to get the DVD for her. Amazon only seemed to carry used copies. Aren’t there any big video chains that sell online?

It looks like it’s out of print. DVD Price Search doesn’t show it as available from any of it’s associated web stores.

Amazon shows a new copy available through an affiliate (listed as brand new, factory sealed). There are new copies on ebay too. It must be popular - the one that’s ending in 8 hours has fifteen bids.
