Movies that need to be released on DVD.

Too bad! This second DVD release by Image is a tad better than the first DVD release...The definitive DVD version has yet to surface...Still, The Image might be the way to go...It seems once Image lease expires, they blow 'em out cheap...I picked up one of my childhood favorite 50's trash "She Demons" for less than $8.00...It had a list of 24.95 also...Some of the OOP Image DVD's fetch big bucks on ebay..."They Live" comes to mind, along with the 5 Marx Brothers DVD's...Grab what you want now, some stuff goes OOP quite fast!

 

Wild in the Streets. Great campy late 60s flick about the first rock star President, a.k.a. Max Frost. Featuring Richard Pryor in probably his first screen appearance.

SCTV. Come on, guys!!!! What is the hold-up??

 

I had no idea a legit Charade was available. Ever since I got burned on that first Charade DVD I bought, I've pretty much ignored it. (And I thought my $5 videotape was bad...I thought it was a black and white movie until I saw it letterboxed on AMC!)

One TV series I'd like to see is WKRP...I'd buy every one that was released! The Columbia House TV Greats series has some good titles, but the majority are VHS.

 

You should hurry to get the Criterion Charade, Rudy@A&MCorner, for it is now out of print.

Robert Altman is underrepresented in the DVD market. The Long Goodbye just came out but Nashville and Short Cuts are among the missing.

 

Not a movie, but some studio or other should release the original "Pennies From Heaven" TV miniseries starring Bob Hoskins.

 

Might you mean IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE? I didn't think INVADERS FROM MARS was in 3-D. They both came out the same year though, a big year for 3-D. I do agree that the DVD companies should spend a little cash and put out these movies in field-sequential 3-D DVD's. The quote-unquote IMAX movies that are out now are in 3-D, but they're so lame.

 

Man, now that would be some cool restoring. I had no idear. Thanks, Steve. Makes me wonder if there were any other classics shot that way, but not released in 3-D.

 

With the furver of DVD releases, anythings possible...Who knows, we may get a 3D treat!!!

 

Sorry didn't see a reply already

 

I knew about the shorts. I'm talking about things like Way Out West, A Chump At Oxford etc...
Way Out West is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

 

Can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned...

Orson Welles' Magnificent Ambersons!

BTW, Rudy, check your local Best Buy for the Criterion Charade.

 

How about A Hard Days' Night with the correct sound? (In other words, put it out without "digitally restoring" or turning it into fake stereo or really doing anything at all to the audio!) "Give me mono or give me death". (Well, give me mono anyway). This won't happen.

Help! -Same as above (good luck)

Magical Mystery Tour (OK in the remixed stereo, but can we fix that sync problem on "Fool On the Hill"? Gotta have the original mono track as well, and again, good luck because Apple knows best...

Let It Be
With the original mono S.T. as well as Paul's new and improved (I guess) S.T.

And just for completeness, I seem to remember the mono sound track of the Yellow Submarine DVD switches to newly remixed stereo on a couple of tracks.

Save me from those who would like to save me from myself!

 

We can dream can't we...Just
don't letterbox to appease the HT nutbars...

 

Enchanted April (my favorite movie of all time)
Once Were Warriors
The Yakuza
Torch Song Trilogy
and so many others....

 

This is available on Region2 if that is of any use to you

All the best - Andrew

 

With DVD's capacity and resolution, the 3D films would be perfect for the format, not least INVADERS, the John Wayne western HONDO, the various horror films, and DIAL M FOR MURDER. To keep everyone happy, also include the 'flat' non 3D prints, and some cheapo 3D glasses. I'd buy anything 3D, as it was a great gimmick and I still have some 3D comics I remember with fondness.

"Murder By Decree"; my favorite Sherlock Holmes movie, featuring Christopher Plummer as Holmes and James Mason as Watson.

I've been advocating letterbox and full-screen versions for every movie. Keeps everybody happy, one way or the other. But letterboxing takes precedence: no excuse for a dishonest fullscreen image, not least when the film was shot in true anamorphic widescreen! The Beatles' films weren't--that's british aspect ratio in the 1.75:1 vicinity, same as the first three James Bond flicks.

And if a contrived 'stereo' or otherwise altered soundtrack has to be used, also include the original mono or Dolby Stereo mix as well. Be fair, people!

A total of 17 episodes, I believe. 'Tweren't cheap!

 

Rudy there's 32 episodes of Peter Gunns out there.
