I'd also love to see JUST IMAGINE, the 1930 pre-Code science fiction musical comedy film starring Maureen O'Sullivan.as LN-18. It sounds

so bizarre I can't help but think that I'd be bowled over.

"The Senator was Indiscreet" has seemingly disappeared after a VHS release. It's a terrific political satire with William Powell and a host of familiar faces along with a cameo by Powell's favorite leading lady.

Rogue Cop


Hell on Frisco Bay

I haven't given up on those two. I think they'll turn up one day, Rogue Cop almost certainly on a Warner Archive DVD-R.

I have a soft spot for the utterly silly slasher movie spoof Pandemonium. It's not a good movie. Heavens, no. It just ran for a long time on HBO when I was a kid and it holds a nostalgic place in my heart. It was available for a time through Amazon VOD but has become unavailable. I have an old former rental VHS that I bought at a Blockbuster back in 1995 or so. I suppose that will have to do for now as I can't see it ever getting a DVD or Blu-ray release.

It's been shown on Fox Movie Channel, though not in recent years.

An early 1980's PBS airing of JUST IMAGINE (1930) was my first encounter with El Brendel. Way back then, I thought his Swedish accent to be genuine, but in hindsight, his name wasn't exactly evocative of Scandinavian origins!


Here's his Wikipedia Bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Brendel


JUST IMAGINE on DVD or Blu-ray? I'd get a copy if it were given the Criterion treatment! It's portrayal of life in 1980 (!) may be horribly dated today, but I think in 1930, JUST IMAGINE was probably considered a sort of sideways Talkie version of Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS (1927).


CHEERS!

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, Diary Of A Mad Housewife.

"The Man From Hong Kong" also known as "The Dragon Flies" from 1975 starring George Lazenby and Jimmy Wang Yu. A silly martial arts romp filmed in Australia.

Love the 70's pop theme song "Sky High" by Jigsaw.

Well, I for one, will be deeply heartbroken if Deep Throat Part 69 never manages to ooze its way onto DVD or Blu-ray. After all, who could deny that such a film would especially make for a Blu-ray that would truly be a blue movie, and one that could even be promoted as a flick that really puts the blue in Blu-ray.

Just watched my "acquired" copy of this and I totally agree. Would love to see this on Blu-ray or DVD with a commentary track by Brian Trenchard-Smith.


Also would love a copy of "The Good Humor Man" from Columbia/Sony. Jack Carson stars in this live-action cartoon written by Frank Tashlin.

I've pretty well given up hope on The Tattered Dress.

Even though RAH has advised us that Universal's home video department has a new attitude and approach, it is unlikely they will concentrate on little-known films from the mid-50s.


A pity. A crime melodrama starring Jeff Chandler, Jeanne Crain, Jack Carson and Elaine Stewart probably has a potential audience.

The Man From Hong Kong was released as a special edition DVD in Australia a few years ago with a director's commentary track. I think it's out of print now, but you might be able to track down a copy.

I'm a major Cyd Charisse fan but I've given up hoping Mark of The Renegade will be released on disc. Universal borrowed two stars from MGM for this movie, Cyd and Ricardo Montalban.

I don't think this film has been released on disc even in Europe where dozens of half-forgotten Universal films have been given a new lease of life on DVD.


The Universal Vaults series could give us a nice surprise if they wanted, but I doubt they're interested.

I'm choking already

Im guessing many of the titles from the Warner Archive Collection will not get HD releases either (too many titles to name)

Song of the South is definitely on this list.

Hi Richard!


In my opinion, SONG OF THE SOUTH should be this Topic's poster child!


2016 is this long shunned Disney Classic's 70th Anniversary, but I fear this year will have the same outcome as the previous 60th Anniversary, with no DVD or Blu-ray release!


I would love to be proved wrong by Disney, but I just don't see this happening, unfortunately!


CHEERS!


Tony

The Mark of the Renegade has been available for quiet a while from Sidonis Calysta and Universal. A very good copy by the way! I bought it from Amazon.fr.
