"Flicker"
02-01-2008, 11:30 AM
Since some of the recent posts disappeared and for benefit of any new readers, I thought we could revive everyone's "want list." Fortunately some that were on my previous list, have made their way to DVD - though not many.


Amateur Night At The Dixie Bar & Grill (1979 made-for-TV movie)
Boys In The Band (1970)
Breaking All The Rules (1985)
Delivery Boys (1984)
Happy Birthday, Gemini (1980)
Late For Dinner (1991)
Legend Of Billie Jean (1985)
Mad Magician (1954)
Miracle Of The Bells (1948)
Norman, Is That You? (1976)
Return To Macon County (1975)
Spring Break (1983)
Tribes (1970)
Where The Boys Are '84 (1984)
The Wild Life (1984)

A few more I might add later. These are the main ones I'm hopeing for.

I read 'The Boys In The Band' will be out in May or June..and one of my most wanted 'The Nanny' with Bette Davis will finally be relased in April from Fox.I'm surprised with your taste in films that you don't want 'Ode' To Billy Joe' :)

Yeah....along with that "Motel Hell." Wonder if "Plan 9 From Outer Space" will be released on Blue Ray?




Oh...and thanks. (I guess?)

I'd like to see these TV shows on DVD:

Good vs. Evil

The Dark Secret of Harvest Home mini-series


(Hey, I like Motel Hell. I have it on the Midnite Movie double feature with the excellent Deranged.) :)

Motel Hell is a classic..."It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent fritters"

I'm still waiting for "Jekyll & Hyde...together again". I have the VHS tape from Paramount but I'm not sure if they still have the rights or not.

I would also like "Tales from the Darkside" the TV series on DVD. I mean come on if Swamp Thing the series can get released why can't this.

Actually I already have "Motel Hell". That was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek remark as was the bit about "Plan 9". :)

'The Invaders' tv series will finally be out this month!..it only took over 10 years.I still want Dennis The Menace also.A restored version of 'The Long Hair Of Death' with Barbara Steele is much needed since the current dvd transfer looks awful.

I really like Waxwork. Waxwork II is a hoot (and has Bruce Campbell!)

I wish they would release a Region 1 Phantasm box set.
Bron

I was thinking....Phantasm II is 20 years old this year. So maybe Anchor Bay will surprise us and get the rights and release this.

Yes,we need 'Child's PlaY' in widescreen PLEASE!..we've been waiting over 10 years!..what was the problem MGM?..
Bron
02-03-2008, 04:26 PM
Child's Play celebrates it's 20th Ann. also this year. It will probably come out near Halloween with the rest of the annual MGM Halloween releases.

Yep, I've read over at Gorezone that there WILL be a 20th Anniversary Child's Play edition this year. I believe Tom Holland talked about recording the commentary for it last year, so a release has already been set in motion. It's the only Child's Play film I really enjoy. Although, I've only seen parts 1-3. The last 2 looked like comedies, so I completely skipped them, like I did with the last couple of Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

Quo Vadis is still on my list

Oh, and a full Collector's Edition box set of Babylon 5 (including all the movies).

'Bride of Chucky' is great and the last 'chucky' film was good too.

Harvest Home was great - really disturbing for a young man in the throws of puberty ;)

Did they ever release that tv miniseries of Jack the Ripper with Michael Caine (I think?)....

That Motel Hell and Deranged set was great!
Nick August
03-09-2008, 11:51 PM
I can't believe 'Track 29' hasn't been released,a great psychological thriller with Gary Oldman..directed by Nicolas Roeg.
Brutus
03-10-2008, 05:49 PM
Wow, with those 2 involved, you'd think it would be out on some label...!
Nick August
03-10-2008, 10:50 PM
A crappy tape to dvd budget version was relased in the early days of dvd but the image quality was awful..as you would expect.
Brutus
03-12-2008, 05:40 PM
The Secret War of Harry Frigg

Rumor is that "Partner's" with Ryan O'Neil and John Hurt will finally be released on DVD. Perhaps July 1 (I haven't checked yet to see if that is on a Tuesday.)
Nick August
03-26-2008, 01:16 PM
Many of my most wanted are coming this year finally!..next week 'The Skull' ,the Possession Of Joel Delaney,later next month 'The Nanny' a Hammer film,'The Devils' in May,in the fall 'The Beast With Five Fingers'.Lost Highway came out yesterday so my list is getting smaller but I still want 'Scream Of Fear,The Gorgon',Blood And Roses,'Caltiki:The Immortal Monster' in a R1,'Repulsion'[what's the hold up with this Polanski classic?] it's on a budget label in fullscreen but the restored'Criterion' version should be released on dvd.
Brutus
03-26-2008, 05:49 PM
Those would all be great, Nick. Would have though AB would have released Caltiki by now?!

I didn't realize it was out of print. I've had this title on DVD for years. I watch it ever so often.

"Matinee" was released years ago by Image as a barebones DVD but has gone out of print since, of course. It was a fun little flick that I wouldn't mind seeing again myself.

I finally got sick of waiting and got one on Ebay for $26 which was a bit low because it was listed as a region 0 disc which I think scared some people off but I noticed in the seller's picture of the case that it was a region 1. I took the chance and it came in two days official release and in great condition.

I saw The Lather Effect at a buddies house the other night, now I want an actual copy for my own collection. This is the perfect movie for cats who grew up in the Reagan Era.
