I doubt that the bean counters know anything about built-in followings. Too bad, because if they did we might have more catalog titles like "ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS". I have it on the Criterion LD fortunately.
I'll buy "CRACK IN THE WORLD" & "PHASE IV" in a NY minute should they ever get a DVD release. I have a LD of "PHASE IV", but side two suffers from laser rot.
