Universal just put some never on video gems up on netflix streaming. Most excited about W.C. Fields and Me . I can finally watch it on my big screen. Hulu used to show this but only on your pc. Walk Proud The 1979 Robby Benson drama that caused a sensation when riots started in California outside theaters. 1979 was the Year of the Gang movie with The Warriors , Boulevard Nights , Sunnyside , Walk Proud ,The Wanderers and Boardwalk all opening within 7 months of each other. Robby Bensons film was filmed under the title Gang, but Universal got cold feet when the other films listed here caused problems in the Winter and Spring. Walk Proud and Sunnyside from American International has never received video release. Both films had lowkey distribution in theaters . I'm anxious to see this as it was Bensons last big role (discounting 1980s barely released Die Laughing before he dwindled in starpower. The Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County -talk about obscure! Starring Bonanzas Hoss-this family film has never played cable or been on video. I'm getting excited that Universal is dipping deep into its vaults. Out of print dvds of Minnie and Moscowitz , They Might Be Giants are also being streamed -hopefully with an eye out for rereleases.
