Surprised no one has mentioned the grandaddies of never-to-be-seen films, Alejandro Jodorowsky's EL TOPO and THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, the rights (at least in the U.S.) are owned by Allen Klein, who hates Jodorowsky and refuses to let the films be seen.
|
These films have been released on DVD in Italy by Raro Video (R0 PAL) but I don't think they are 100% authorized (they are sold by legitimate European vendors though).
They have also been released in the past on LD and video in Japan, so maybe a DVD release there is possible. I always wondered how the Japanese company that put them out (name escapes me at the moment)got the rights for these (did Klein know about this?)
My list for films that might not appear on DVD would have included Goodbye Uncle Tom, but I was very suprised when I heard that Blue Underground was releasing it (but only part of their "Shockumentary" box set). |

HENRY V: I second your plkea for CAT AND THE CANARY with Bob Hope.
RIC: I agree that THE SILENT PARTNER needs a DVD release - terrific thriller with the best performances of Elliot Gould and Christopher Plummer.
BROOK: I would also cherish DVD release of THE CROWD and THE WIND, which were on a laser disc double feature, but awfully soft. A sharper image with more contrast would be
welcome.

I guess we should state that we want ORIGINAL 3-D
but with the previous original 3-D movies already on DVD in NON-3-D form, it loks like ZERO CHANCE

Adding more to my list:
- Dune (extended cut special edition with David Lynch's involvement)
- Final Countdown (a decent transfer worth owning on DVD)
- Rocky 2, 3, and 4 special editions (I want my Mr. T commentary!!)
- Superman 2:SE (Richard Donner's original director's cut)
- The 5th Element:SE (with Luc Besson involved)

Here are 5 I don't think I'll ever see....
Movie Movie
A satire of old double-billed B-movies, starring George C. Scott, Ann Reinking and Harry Hamlin. I get plenty of chuckles out of this thing, but it's never on anyone else's radar.
One A.M.
Jean-Luc Godard, D.A. Pennebaker, Jefferson Airplane. This movie has disappeared and I suspect I won't ever see it anywhere.
High Tide
Gillian Armstrong's fine 1987 domestic drama features a highly memorable performance by Judy Davis.
Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Dean Jimmy Dean
Despite a cast that includes Cher, Karen Black, Kathy Bates and Sandy Dennis (amazing performance) I don't expect to ever see this 16mm Robert Altman feature on disc. The last print I saw of it at a rep house was in horrendous shape.
California Split
This was one of Altman's hits, and one of his best that too few have seen, with George Segal and Elliot Gould as compulsive gamblers. Never released even on vhs. I was told years ago that there are rights issues with the music.

To me one of Cary Grant's best:
The Bachelor & The Bobby-Soxer very funny flick with Murna Loy, and Shirley Temple.
"mello greetings, yookie dookie!"
"you remind me of a man"
"what man?"
"the man with the power."
"what power?"
etc...you Cary Grant fans will know how great that whole sequence is!
Alas, not even a hint of rumor that this film will ever find it's way to dvd. ( I think it was owned by the former RKO Pictures?)

I second more 3-d releases, plus:
My Little Chickadee
The Mad Magician w/ Vincent Price
Two On A Guillotine (corny, but fun)
Myra Breckinridge
Flight Of The Phoenix
And Re-releases of the Marx Brothers films

Huh, Sounds like David Bowie lifted this part to make a certain Labyrinth song
"you remind me of the babe"
"what babe?"
"the babe with the power"
"what power?"

Brownlow's Hollywood and the Rolling Stones documentary C*cksucker Blues are the two that lept to mind.
There have been many good suggestions made in this thread, but I think, e.g., all of Preston Sturges' films will make it out eventually. Now when exactly can we expect Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be?

There are a lot, including many mentioned in this thread.
The one I think is least likely to be released of all my many wants, though, is
The Decline of Western Civilization, Part I.
My VHS of it started out bad, and keeps getting worse, too.
