Movies Not Available on DVD (1 Viewer)

Oh, yeah. I forgot about "if...". I keep hearing rumblings that it's going to be released on DVD but for some reason it still hasn't happened!

 

[Scott Calvert]

From this list off the top of my head, Thieves Like Us, 52 Pick-Up, and Sorcerer have all been released on dvd.

Instead of making articles about making lists of which films aren't on DVD, why not make an article about the benefits of going multi-regional? Oh, wait, nevermind. The newspaper is called "USA" Today...
There are far more films on DVD released in other Regions, especially in NTSC display format, which are anamorphic and with extras to boot. But due to the narrowmindedness of many of the average consumer, they'll never know there're alternative solutions and options for various films.
I'm just wasting my breath and time even suggesting and beneficial type thing which is going multi-region. There's practically an entire planet filled with DVD's to purchase and why be limited to only one region when you could have it all? Well, depending on the price and what's available.

Here's a couple I'd like to see get released. They are very obscure though.

The Wizard of Speed and Time (1989)
Gizmo! (1977)

On a visit to Australia earlier this year I spent some time browsing the video shops and rental stores. I was surprised by the number of NTSC DVDs available [dual-format players/TVs are common] and the number of multiregion and region-free releases. These were actual studio releases, not boots. I brought back a few titles I hadn't seen in the US and was surprised by their compatibility with R1 region code players. It makes me wonder whether the NA market is the only one where region-coded releases are the norm.

When was 52 PICK UP released? Checking Amazon, they only have an out of print R2 version.

 

[Douglas Monce]

Many of these (but not all) are on DVD.

Hammer's Twins of evil, come on sony!!!

 

[JulianK]

a) it's available on DVD in the UK

b) I don't think Sony own it in the US

 

[Tim Tucker]

You are correct. MGM has the rights to that, along with Hands of the Ripper, Vampire Circus and The Quatermass Xperiment.
