Put me down for A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH aka STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN and TWENTIETH CENTURY.

Also, I wouldn’t mind copies of THE GORGON and THE MAD MAGICIAN.

Will K · Apr 15, 2003

David Lynch's Wild At Heart is actually being prepped by MGM for release this fall. Yippee!!

Patrick McCart · Apr 15, 2003

Your cartoons!

There are hundreds of UPA and Columbia cartoons that have never been on video. How about some sets for us collectors?

Dick · Apr 15, 2003

I second Patrick's request for UPA cartoons. James Thurber's A UNICORN IN THE GARDEN, Poe's TELLTALE HEART, GERALD McBOING BOING, and a few of the better Mr. Magoo shorts would be a start. I, too, wish BEDFORD INCIDENT would get the letterbox treatment. IN COLD BLOOD for the ninetieth time.

Bruce Morrison · Apr 16, 2003

Columbia have Robert Altman's 'California Split' - this is one of several key Altman films that have yet to see a DVD release. How about it, Columbia?

PatrickL · Apr 17, 2003

I too would love to see California Split released. Would also buy My Sister Eileen, Repulsion, Twentieth Century, Providence, In Cold Blood and A Matter of Life and Death, all already mentioned in this thread.

I'd add, off the top of my head, The Go-Between, Tess, Images, The Front, and the not-great-but-I-like-it-anyway The Competition.

Jodee · Apr 20, 2003

I would like to see:

Loverboy (1989) (with Patrick Dempsey)
Modern Romance (1981) [Albert Brooks]
Nickelodeon (1976) [Peter Bogdanovich]
Skatetown U.S.A. (1979)

Jeffrey Gray · Apr 20, 2003

Mothra, The H-Man, and Battle in Outer Space are, AFAIK, no longer owned by Columbia. I believe that the rights reverted to Toho sometime in the last decade, so I presume that they will not be on DVD in R1 any time soon...

PienSavaca · Apr 20, 2003
