Films that you fear may NEVER be released on DVD. (1 Viewer)

MURDER BY NATURAL CAUSES (1979)

This is one of the best TV movies ever made. I haven't even seen a TV broadcast of it in the past 10 - 15 years.

Yeah, I think Fox still owns this. I agree - fine performance and a highly underrated (probably because it is highly under-seen) movie. It was out on VHS through Key Video but never got as far as laser. This, like A HIGH WIND IN JAMAICA, which Fox actually did release on DVD, needs to be made available to the public after an interminable period of MIA. The Fox Movie Channel runs it on occasion (I'm not sure if they letterbox it or not). Fox does a great job with their catalog stuff and, hopefully, CONRACK will eventually emerge.

So many films that I've been wanting to see have come out on DVD in the last few years that I'm able to narrow down my list of wants. I've resisted the temptation to list all the film noirs I've been reading about. I've also removed most of the foreign films I've been wanting that are unavailable in the USA.

[Dave Mack]

I've been patiently waiting for "The Uninvited" for years. One of my fave MIA Ghost story films...

 

[CineKarine]

Both early versions of SHOW BOAT are now in the hands of Warner's (MGM having acquired both when they made their 1951 version) and THE LODGER and HANGOVER SQUARE are coming this fall and can already be pre-ordered on various websites. Look for Fox Horror Classics.

 

[Greg_M]

Richard,

Warner Bros has spoken in one of their chats about a "Showboat" boxset that will contain all three films to be released next year (2008)

 

[Jeff Kuykendall]

I'm beginning to lose hope on YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW. I would have thought it would've come out by now...I mean, it's a Coppola film, and plus you could make some cheap DVD cover art that makes it look like a sleazy sex comedy. That should move some boxes. As long as I have it...

 

[Joe Karlosi]

I don't know if anyone's echoed this since I posted it way back in 2004, but I'm still waiting for WILLARD (1971) and BEN (1972).

 

[Jon Martin]

I have a $30 DVD player that does a pretty good job with PAL DVDs. That isn't expensive. May not be at the quality level of standard r1 DVDs, but for titles otherwise unavailable, well worth it.

Richard,

There are a few on your list that are out there.

CHINA 9 LIBERTY 37 is available in some of the Millcreek 50 movie packs. I haven't seen it but, judging by other Millcreek titles, it probably isnt the greatest quality, but is watchable.

COMIN AT YA is available (with glasses). AMITYVILLE 3 is flat on US DVD, but 3-D on R2 (it isn't very good though).

A few others have been recently announced, but I'm sure you already know.

 

[Dave Mack]

The oppo players do a GREAT job with PAL discs and output native PAL at 576P for those whose displays can handle it.

 

[Bryan^H]

I just realized HOUSEKEEPING(Columbia) from 1987 was never released on laserdisc. Chances are, we will never see a dvd release for this great film. So sad.

 

[Brandy681]

Leave It To Beaver Season 3 +

 

[Jefty]

Light of Day (1987)!

Features great performances by Gena Rowlands and Joan Jett + finds a way to deploy the Michael J. Fox personality in a new and interesting way... It was written and directed by Paul Schrader, who has quite a following...

Why did I have to get this on VHS through ebay?

(I'm sure the 4.8 rating on IMDB isn't helping--but I really don't have a clue what movie those people saw...)

 

[Gordon McMurphy]

I am deep admirer of Paul Schrader's work, but I have not seen Light of Day, so I'm with you on that one, David. A commentary by Schrader would be a must. His track for the anamorphic R2 of Light Sleeper is superb, btw.

 

[ZacharyTait]

Here's Roger Ebert's review of it: 3 1/2 stars

http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/...702040301/1023

 

[Jon Martin]

Just wanted to mention, one film mentioned previously in this thread, 1968's TWISTED NERVE with Hayley Mills (and the theme that was used in Quentin Tarantino's films) was recently released as part of one of Mill Creek's 50 movie packs. Box Office Gold

Amazon.com: Box Office Gold 50 Movie Pack: Box Office Gold 50 Movie Pack: Movies & TV

I believe this is the first release on any form of video in the US.

Very good, clean transfer too (although I'm sure being a Mill Creek release, many here will hate it because of compression issues).

 

[walter o]

And I am sure WB wount be happy with this release, as well as StudioCanal for THE STEAGLE.

 

[Susan Nunes]

I don't know if anybody has mentioned it, but you can get Titicut Follies directly through Zipporah Films at this link.

Note all of Wiseman's available documentaries are on DVD-Rs, not pressed DVDs as in general release DVDs, so be warned. Titicut Follies is available for private purchase for $34.95 plus shipping.

 

[oscar_merkx]

wow that's quite an exhaustive list complied by Richard W.

Must look at other regions ....
