    Before Criterion got the rights to them. Had a nice raer collection of VHSs.

    My latest score is Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse[/b]. My brother and I sat in a room of over 10,000 VHS to get rid of. They will never release this on DVD.

    francis doesn't like the way he's portrayed in hearts of darkness so it's doubtful it will ever be officially released again.

    As an interesting sidenote, apparently there is a big $ market of old timey time hard to find movies on VHS being bought by old people who haven't bought a DVD player. My friend was telling me about a movie called "Dr Urlich's Magic Bullet" which she sold for $180[/b]. Used VHS

    We have moved passed the vhs, found two working LaserDisc players at a flea market last year for 20 bucks. Working on a crate of some nice OOP films....

    I remember that shit, Ernest imagining he "can dance like Fred Astaire", and that kid blows that huge parachute sized bubble from his gum, and Ernest is riding on it.

    Good call.

    Super Fuzz is available on Italian DVD as Super Snooper. Great Terrence Hill/Bud Spencer buddy flick! Do they call cops snoopers in Italy?




    ...but what about this mid-80's competitive aerobics flick? Total Flashdand rip-off sleazeball trash that got highjacked by Dodgeball!

    I bought this box set when I got the pay cheque of my first real job. The exquisite booklet, and all the extra is just next level. Although the subsequent SE DVD has better image quality, but back in the days, the ability to watch the title sequence frame-by-frame thanks to the CAV format is already mind-blowing.

    Speaking of Criterion Collection LD boxsets...
    The "Brazil" CC LD box is absolutely gorgeous while "The Rock" is just a pointless exercise.

    a Holy Grail of LD and DVD.....

    I would really like to know why the LD and DVD of this title fetch so much loot considering there's a BFI version of it in wide circulation, also to the fact that apart from a commentary, there's nothing much to the DVD extra department...Thanks in advance.

    It's a combination of Criterion fetishism and it being the only R1 version made available.

    I don't know if this counts, but I sold a copy of Vinyl The Movie on VHS for $70 a few months ago.

    A local sports radio dude here in Chicago was in this movie.
    And he let's you know it every day.

    RARE

    'Song Of The South' is a good Disney movie, probably the best one I have seen.

    It was banned forever and then finally got an extremely limited release sometime in the 80s i think.. pretty sure it was supposed to come out in the 40s , but I could be wrong.

    Most of the copies I've seen are from the Japanese laserdisc edition...

    The Japanese LD version is the last legit incarnation of Song of the South. European versions are VHS only.

    is the original rollerball out on dvd yet?

    It came out in 1998. While the release is far from a deluxe package (no meticulous digital remastering), it does have a commentary from director Norman Jewison and a very dated behind-the-scenes documentary.

    The 1968 original starring Dudley Moore & Peter Cook. Its the funniest movie they made together and they're both now gone. RIP. I wonder when they're gonna get their [region 1 DVD] digital due...!

    that's a good one, found that across the street from some soul food joint in Brooklyn! I didn't know it was raer.

    NUNZIO - late 70's NYC retarted superhero. Great sex scene. I copped a bootleg VHS tape recently but i want a clean copy.

    The Lynda Carter movie where she shows some tit. Bobby Jo...somethin like that. I copped a dvd version and that shit was fuzzy as a mofo.

    I think there was a Special Edition DVD released a couple of years ago to co-incide with the John McTiernan remake.

    I used to go digging for VHS tapes at video rental places. Visited every single one of them in the southern half of germany. mainly collecting italian police movies, soft porn with raunchy soundtracks and 70s/80s horror. had dozends of Jess Franco movies. my favorite movie at the time was "Mosquito der Schaender" supersleazy gory german true crime shocker with psychedelic soundtrack (never released on record). the day i copped my first copy of this one, i was so excited that on the way to the next video store, i totaled my car, smashing into a row of other cars waiting for the light to turn green at a big intersection. didn't even hit the break, got out of the wreckage after recovering bag full of VHS raer from the backseat, sat down next to the smoking wreckage and was amazed at myself for still truly feeling happy. had the car towed away, took a cab home and watched the movie over and over. sold most of my collection in '96 before moving to NY. of course not Mosquito...

    Where do I find a copy of that Japanese movie Battle Royale that one of my old roomates took with them. Huh!?!?! Tell me that. That was a sweet movie. I was told it is unavailable in the USA.

    a friend of mine in college rented a copy of Mr. T's Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool from Blockbuster and never returned it. He didn't even have to pay for the rental because it was one of their "educational" videos that you could just take out for free. I would consider buying a copy of that.

    I have a nice copy of this available for free to the first person who PMs me.

    The Color Purple has been re-released on DVD/Bluray already.

    I was visiting a friend in queens recently and while hitting a thrift in his neighborhood looking for records he pulled a vhs copy of candy tangerine man, it was one of like 5 tapes they had for sale, was ready to grab it if he turned it down (he doesn't really collect vhs/blaxpoitation shit) but he wanted it. Guess I don't know how rare it is though. I have the dvd bootleg but whatever vhs it was ripped from had some heavy tracking that makes a few minutes unwatchable, or maybe the disc is scratched, something, but either way, I was a bit jealous.....although I did end up with a decent Nelson Ned record (his second I believe) and a sleeveless copy of the S/T Danny Rivera, neither of which I knew about when I grabbed them so the needle drop was a pleasant suprise amongst the other latin chud I grabbed.

    I'm still looking for the film "Justiz" by Hans W. Gei??end??rfer, which is film adaptation of the book of the same name by Friedrich D??rrenmatt.
    I had seen it over 10 years ago on TV and it struck me as one as the absurdest and freaky movies I have ever watched.
    Shit is elusive. As far as I know it hasn't been on TV for years and a DVD release doesn't exist.
    Quite strange for a movie that was nominated in 1994 for the Oscars and which was directed by the rather prolific Hans W. Gei??end??rfer.
