    Paramount DVD Requests for 2007

    Well, we're 3 quarters through the year (2007) and none of my wishes have come true.. ENCHANTED APRIL, SOME KIND OF HERO, and THE STERILE CUCKOO haven't been released. It's hard to keep faith. Maybe they're waiting on the out come of the HD/Blu-ray battle.

    Touchstone/Disney/Buena Vista DVD Requests for 2006

    John, That was what I thought I was doing. Dang-me, I'll have to admit I made a mistake, or find someone to blame. Besides that, it appears to be already out there. Thanks for calling it to my attention. I need to add SONG OF THE SOUTH to the 2007 list.

    Criterion or Sony.... Godzilla

    The oldie I'm looking from from Sony (I'm told they own it now) or Criterion (or who ever might own the rights to it) is: THE MAID (1991) Martin Sheen and Jacqueline Bissett A good re-digitized version, I'd buy in a New York minute. And I'm from the Seattle area.

    Does this site REALLY get DVDs released?

    Matthew, I can only give you ancedotal evidence. I came upon this website in Aug. of 2002. In the first couple of years, over 20 of my wish list titles have been released. It's been rather barren the last couple of years. From some of the other threads, you can find my lists of "still waiting...

    Paramount DVD requests for 2006

    Right now, I've got 3 wishes from Paramount. 1. I'm with Doug Irving on wanting ENCHANTED APRIL (1992) 2. I would like Richard Pryor's SOME KIND OF HERO (1982) and 3. I think Liza Minnelli's THE STERILE CUCKOO (1969) is worth having in my library.
