I have a hideous old tape recorded off American Movie Classics almost twenty years ago.

Crack In the Mirror is a sleeper screaming for rediscovery. Once people have a chance to see the film it's reputation should soar, like Crime Wave and Murder My Sweet. If enough people express an interest, perhaps Fox will consider releasing it.
