I'm beginning to lose hope on the following titles.

I second the Costner film,Fandango

I think this one is WB-come on,this is one of Costner's best films-Let's get this released PLEASE.


Also The Chase (Charlie Sheen)

Fox is the culprit here i seem to recall,great comedy film-cant find it released on any region?

I may be wrong-if you know different,please post linkage

Wow, I can't believe I scrolled though this entire thread! It was interesting to see how many titles have already been released/announced. I guess never say "never"!

I also can't believe that I have never posted in this thread. Me the doyenne of unreleased DVDs.

Without further ado, here are my picks for titles that I genuinely doubt will see the light of day on DVD. (Obvious titles have been removed.) I am still hopeful some of these might *eventually* make it though, but many have either no clear distributor or some have never even been released on VHS.

OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE (MGM/Warner)

GREEN MANSIONS (ditto)
CRIA! (Spanish, Home Vision/Criterion?)
