Obscure films that you would love to see on DVD.


By obscure, I mean films that no one talks about at this forum or anywhere else. Films that you think no one else would know or care about. Personaly, I am restricting this to English Language films as Foreign films would give me too many choices. As it is, there are too many to name so I'll just pick 10 at random:


Dirty Little Billy
Fine Madness, A
Heart is a Lonely Hunter, The
Incident, The
Island of Terror
Joe
Melody
Straight Time
Torture Chamber of Dr Sadism
WUSA

Third Man on the Mountain
Night Train to Munich
The Paleface

George

I have 5 of your films on Laser:

The Long, Long Trailer
Houseboat
The Ghost & Mr. Chicken
The Reluctant Astronaut
Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House

I love the title song of The Guide for the Married Man by the "Turtles". Even though I've never seen the film, I would buy the DVD just to hear that.

First and foremost The Fearless Vampire Killers. Others I was thinking of the other day:

Imitation Of Life (1934)
A Letter To Three Wives (1949)
Shenandoah (1965)
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)

Also, George Kaplan's list reminded me of the classic Don Knotts movies. I would love to see these released on DVD.

The Dark Tower



Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)?

The Skull (1965)
Dr.Terrors House of Horrors (1965)
Night of the Demon (1958)
House of Usher (1960)
Pit and the Pendulum (1961)
The Raven (1963)
Masque of the Red Death (1964)

And many Hammer Horror classics too many to mention.
