Re: 1980's films not on Region 1 DVD.


Three John Frankenheimer movies:

THE CHALLENGE (1982)
THE FOURTH WAR (1989)
and most glaringly, the gritty-as-hell
52 PICK-UP (1986), which is up there with FROM BEYOND and NIGHT OF THE CREEPS in my most wanted list.

I'd like to see the underrated BELIZAIRE THE CAJUN (1986) and APARTMENT ZERO (1989) as well.

Thanks for mentioning the 80s Movies Rewind. I write for that website! As a matter of fact, I wrote the following pages:

-"8 Million Ways To Die"
-"Pass The Ammo"
-"Penn & Teller Get Killed"
-"Private School"
-"Stewardess School"
-"Switching Channels"
-"Valet Girls"

I like these movies and I want them all on DVD. I would love to see Sony release "Stewardess School", "Switching Channels" and "Valet Girls"...After all, how many versions of "Black Hawk Down" does the world need, anyway?

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

And by the same token, it would be nice to see a first-time release of "Private School" from Universal instead of a 3rd release of "Scarface" and a 5th version of each "American Pie" movie.

Re: 1980's films not on Region 1 DVD.


Updated the first post.

I own the 3-Disc Deluxe Edition of Black Hawk Down. I'm also going to get the SuperBit for the DTS track, it did win an award for best sound. I'm not even going to buy the Extended Version of it.

Don't forget:

It's number one on my wish list.
