Any movies you want - but are not available on DVD?

I keep a list on my PDA and every once in a while I check to see if they have been released:

* WW & the Dixie Dancekings
* The Keep
* Until the End of the World
* The Car
* Conrack
* Last Holiday (1950 with Alec Guinness)

Some of those are somewhat obscure and even available in different regions, but the last two should qualify for the AFI Top 100 in my opinion!

I love Conrack! I have an old copy of it on VHS that I recorded from TV one night in the late '80s. Such a great movie. And it's a great movie to recommend to a teacher. It always reminds them of why they got into teaching.; ▶ Reply to This

I fear it quite a bit, but I really need to see it.; ▶ Reply to This

One of my favorite directors Derek Jarman finally has a box set coming out in June that has a few films you can't get in the U.S.; ▶ Reply to This

Its odd how studios do things, I mean you can get almost all the Troma trash on DVD (toxic avenger etc) or the Garbage Pail Kids 1987 (or the complete animated series from 1989), but you cannot get classics.

Well with Disney films its all about the studio and their not wanting to allow their "Classics" to be readily available, then they can re-re-re-re-re-re-re release them in limited editions forever and make a fortune.; ▶ Reply to This
