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.

APARTMENT ZERO and BELIZAIRE THE CAJUN did come out on DVD from Platinum, but both are now OOP.

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.

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.

Brian-W · 06-26-2006, 12:51 PM

North Shore is on DVD Region 1, Special Edition no less.

Steve Armbrust · 06-26-2006, 01:01 PM

Don't forget:

Split Image (1982)

It's number one on my wish list.

Steve Christou · 06-26-2006, 01:01 PM

Hi Ray, from your list I want to see the following released on dvd:

The Challenge (1982)
Electric Dreams (1984)
Howard the Duck (1986)
The Monster Squad (1987)
Switching Channels (1987)
Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)

Harry and the Hendersons was released on Region 2 recently and Erik the Viking has been out for some time here with a 2-disc special edition out in october.
