Corvette Summer.
Every day on eBay, someone is so desperate for Corvette Summer they are willing to bid $15 on a used, pan-n-scan VHS tape.
The movie, which is a priceless time capsule that combines the 70's muscle car craze, hot stars Mark Hamill and Annie Potts, and a really good story. It's one of those movies that keeps you from flipping the channel due to the thick late-70's look and sound, but hold you to the end because it's actually A REALLY GOOD MOVIE. Plus, can any scene in any movie hold a candle to Mark Hamill dumping a tray of Cokes on a police cruiser while pummeling Danny Bonaduce?
It's funny, it's an adventure, and it's not on DVD. It's really a shame, because it would sell. Sure, the built in fans would all buy it, but so would a million others due to a decent marketing campaign and the Star Wars connection. This movie has Hamill looking much like he did in Star Wars, just a different kind of hero's journey.
A 5.1 mix (the soundtrack music must have been recorded in Stereo), trailer (which I have seen), photos (there were TONS at the time), perhaps virtual press kit (I have seen the paper kit, lots of funny dated hyperbole about Vettes), commentary by Hamill? Let's shed the light on this and encourage Warner to make next summer a Corvette Summer summer.
And May the Funk be with you.
