Silver Streak is the only one. It is a crying shame it is not out yet. But that's part of the larger problem with catalog titles!

I second the request for "It Happens Every Spring." My favorite baseball movie.

I'd also like to see "Robin Hood: Men in Tights."

No, but like you say, a few of them made it to video and/or Fox Movie Channel. Since the discussion with Fox was for a set of all their Laurel and Hardy films, my guess is only one or two are holding up a potential release. Since they were produced with Fox's B unit and to my knowledge, not based on any literary sources, I can't imagine what a problem there might be. But video rights can be so complicated nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised at anything.

I want Moving Violations too.


John Murray as Dana Cannon: "Wait a minute. You're really serious? You're really going to give me a ticket?"
James Keach as Deputy Halik: "I sure am. From the look of this vehicle I'm going to write you several tickets."
John Murray as Dana Cannon: "Several tickets!?" "Okay, why don't we make this easy. Why don't you just pistolwhip me."

Great to see we're sharing the love on these comedies.

Silver Streak has been mentioned several times, but I'll be more than happy to mention it again.

Speaking of which: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother and The World's Greatest Lover. Why Fox has been sitting on these Gene Wilder classics for so long is beyond me.

Finally, a musical comedy: At Long Last Love.
