  • Although the film is available[/b], it's hard to find in N-A and near impossible to find on DVD in N-A...

    WKRP in Cincinatti



    supposedly in music clearance hell, so hard to say if it will ever see light of day

    Yeah, I knew about that, thanks though.
    I appreciate the existence of sources like this - I have
    around 12 raer film noir DVD's I've ordered over the years
    from Robert's Videos online (insert shhh! icon), but I'd really
    like to see an official release of this with optimum sound/video,
    maybe some extras, etc, instead of a DVD-R dubbed from VHS...

    The latest Sanaa Lathan movie, Something New (bootlegs don't count)...Since I'm all about celebrating interracial relationship positivity.

    Unlike some of the above-mentioned titles, I'm pretty sure it will be available on DVD very soon, though!

    I can only imagine what a bitch this must be to clear. For just about every show I've worked on we get a 5 year perpetuity agreement. considering this show is 20+ years old and the majority of these songs were major hits of the day the fees gotta be crazy.

    Bright side is you can still catch the reruns sometimes

    I just caught this on Movieplex:




    Despite the cheesy cover, it's a pretty good documentary on Black karate experts competing in the first World Karate Championships. I didn't catch the whole thing, which is unfortunate because it's only available on VHS.

    On the list for a long time.. glad this thread started though because, like some other users, while looking for images I found it looks like the DVDs were released.. maybe..


    Panic in Needle Park, the best Pacino movie there is. Release looks suspect - why only 4 shown on Amazon none directly from Amazon? It has been released in the UK for some time, I suspect potential region free bootleg action. Hmm yeah not available on netflix.

    Scarecrow - never seen it, but it's from the same director as Panic in Needle Park plus Pacino / Hackman, hard to go wrong. Looks like it was just released maybe.

    Also previously on my list, now released:

    Oh yeah, here's a good one, the Quiller Memorandum. From what I remember.. complex, hot chicks, nice soundtrack.

    btw, hi soulstrut, first post.

    Thought of some more:

    The Girl Can't Help It
    92 in the Shade
    The Boyfriend
    The Loved One (out next month!!)
    The Ipcress File/Funeral in Berlin (OOP and crazy expensive used)
    Flash Gordon -1980 flick (ditto)
    Skatetown USA
    Cotton Candy (Ron Howard TV movie about a rock band)
    Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains(Diane Lane teen nude scene punk rock movie-Night Flight staple from the 80s)
    Gordon Parks' The Learning Tree
    Decline of Western Civilization I and II
    Pacific Vibrations/Evolution/Sea of Joy/Free Ride (classic surf films of the late 60s-early 70s-VERY underserved by the DVD revolution)

    I'll probably grab 'The Loved One' when it comes out. Is is a Criterion issue?
    I have a copy of Decline of Western Civ 2 on VHS. One of my fave documentaries (funny as hell too).

    Flash Gordon -1980

    NO FUCKIN' DOUBT. Where the hell is this????

    I've been waiting for a minute for this to drop.

    How can Buck Rogers be on DVD, and not this.

    Gotta keep my gamma cells down.

    Pretty sure I just saw this somewhere

    and Flash Gordon evidently WAS out, but then gizzone.

    And Larry, the Loved One is an MGM release, I believe....hopefully with commentary...MGM can go either way with either great extras or total bare bones.

    oh, and can we get the widescreen DVD of the OG 'BEDAZZLED' with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore PLEASE???? It's available in the UK and elsewhere, but not here in th egood 'ol US. Sad.

  • I don't know if anybody mentioned this flick, but My Bodyguard is one of my favorite joints. No, I am not talking the Whitney flick, but the flick from the late 70's starring a young ass Matt Dillon as a bully. I think it was based in Chicago. Anyway, I need that on DVD!

    Cosign! Whatever happened to Chris Makepeace (he was in 'Meatballs' too)? I think 'My Bodyguard' may have been Joan Cusack's first movie.

  • Oh shit! I forgot about John Cusack too. I recently saw the film again on cable a few months ago, and I freaked out cause that shit is soooo dope.

    I beleive My Bodyguard was out on DVD. I remember people asking for that title when I worked at a video store and it had a release date.

    Although its not a movie I always wished FOX would release the 10 or so episodes of the failed show "Whoops" (Think Gilligans Island, but instead of being stranded on an island its a post nuclear holocaust situation)

    Perhaps the most brilliant thing ever to air on FOX
