Directors Obscure films that you would love to see on DVD. (1 Viewer)

BTW Re: Sebastiane. A funny story was that the film was shown on the TV here in the UK when I was about 13. I hadn't heard of the film and the content of the film wasn't listed except to say that it was in Latin with English subtitles. Now I was taking a Latin GCSE at the time and was excited about having found a film in the long dead language, so I thought I'd tell the teacher about it. Well anyway, cue a few embarassing moments when I was told what it was about! Lol!

How about Samuel Fullers 1981 film White Dog ? I saw it in a double bill with Shock Corridor and was amazed by both of them. Now that Shock Corridor is available, any chance of White Dog (or other Samuel Fuller? I'm also looking for Park Row)
Also, I'd like to see Targets from 1968 with Boris Karloff and directed by Peter Bogdanovich. And this is asking for the world, but I would run to buy a copy of Kagemusha with a Coppola/Scorcese commentary!

Boy was this thread resurrected from the dead. I had forgotten that I even started it.

Some great suggestions. It's movies like these that always get me excited whenever they are mentioned as coming out on DVD. I guess it's the happy surprise of it all.

Walter, A Guide for the Married Man is also a guilty pleasure of mine. Maybe it's that Turtles song. Great list of crime thrillers too. Those are the films that sadly, I really don't expect to see anytime soon on DVD, if at all.

Happy to see that nearly all the films I listed have surfaced on dvd, one of my favorite old horror movies is still missing though, The Skull (1965) starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and was made in techniscope. I still have a horrible pan&scan version on tape. Amicus has been releasing their horror classics on dvd, I hope thats next.

Map of the Human Heart

 

[Mark Zimmer]

Siege of the Saxons - Few people will admit to knowing this exists, and still fewer will admit to having seen it, but it made a huge impression on me as a child. By all accounts it's actually terrible but nonetheless....last sighting was a UK television airing 10-12 years ago, AFAIK.

 

[MikeGale]

Nightmare Alley - a great noir movie of the 40's from Fox, starring Tyrone Power
An Age Of Kings - this was a BBC TV cycle of Shakespeare's history plays, in 15 parts, which featured a young Sean Connery and very young Judy Dench.
