MADAME ROSA, there's a film I haven't seen in ages. Not even a DVD release.

THE WILD GEESE, a film not on your list, has been poorly served on DVD on this side of the pond. Severin announced a DVD/blu-ray combo release at the beginning of this year but nothing else has been heard from this company in months.

Of the films on your list I'd most like to see GO TELL THE SPARTANS get a blu-ray release. HBO, which holds the video rights, has not treated this title with the respect it deserves in the past.

THE WILD GEESE is getting an RB Blu release in October via Arrow.
MESSAGE FROM SPACE was on DVD in R1. And of course some of these can still be obtained in R2 via Amazon UK, etc.

Would love to see Go, Tell the Spartans get the bluray treatment as well. HUGELY overlooked and VASTLY underappreciated movie. Burt Lancaster gives one of his best performances ever.

 

[Louis Letizia]

Agree totally. GO TELL THE SPARTANS, WHOLL STOP THE RAIN and THE BOYS IN COMPANY C tend to be the overlooked Vietnam themed films of 1978 in the wake of COMING HOME.and.THE DEER HUNTER. Lancaster shined.
Recently HBO issued Blus of THE CANNONBALL RUN and THREE AMIGOS. Hopefully they will get around to SPARTANS, THE CHANGELING and FORT APACHE THE BRONX
