Yes, yes, we've already had a tribute thread to the 20th anniversary of "Batman" but where is the tribute thread to UHF? That other great summer of 1989 Blockbuster?
Admittedly, UHF never caught box office fire, but UHF still stays as one of those movies that to me is shockingly funny, and some of the laughs have gotten much better as the film gets older.
What's sad is that it's been since 2002 - more then 7 years ago, that MGM put out a double sided disc featuring UHF with features. I can't find any reference to any plans for an update of this. While "Batman" in the other thread has Blueray, UHF hasn't been touched since the edition I picked up at Walmart today again for $5. (bin)
Anyway, since we've past the point when the film came out, but I was thinking about it as I saw it in the bin, come on MGM, give it an update! :)
Apparently it does still get some college screenings now and again. Poster for this summer:
