Samantha, early 90s teen comedy with Martha Plimpton and Dermot Mulroney.

Well not in America anyways. It did get a release in the uk I think.



The big screen mighty mouse "film". (it was episodes of the cartoon edited into a movie and released on the big screen like Heathcliff the movie was!)



Why is this not on dvd Disney?



Why is this not on dvd?

[gaastra]

Yeah it's not a good movie but shocked it not on dvd.







None of those are on dvd but are on vhs. Also this is on dvd but it's the crappy uk dub. Smurfs and magic flute American version! There were TWO American dubs with better dubs and shout gives us the worst English dub of the set that gets all the names wrong and gives peeweet a lousy old mans smoker voice! The us dub is only on vhs and the second version only aired on tv!

A number of tv-movies have not made it to DVD. I have Cat Creature which is a excellent film which starred David Hedison. Disaster on the Coastliner starrinG William Shatner, EG Marshal and Raymond Burr and Crash starring William Shatner and Eddie Albert.

The trouble with getting these released can stem from 3 issues. Does anyone care? Elements? Rights issues. For example, I believe Kino had planned on releasing some horror/tv movie titles but the elements apparently were not even good enough for DVD. What I wouldn't give to know what titles those were.

The uncut version of Prom Night III: The Last Kiss. Artisan’s ancient 2003 DVD double feature with PN 4 only had an edited-for-TV version with dubbed out swearing and brief nudity cut out. It was even sourced from video. To this day, that poor film has never gotten a digital transfer of any kind, and is completely unavailable through legal means unless you get the original VHS from Virgin Video.

[TrentW1982]

One that I'm not sure about is the 1984 film The Guardian with Lou Gossett Jr. I haven't seen a DVD release of that listed anywhere.

There are others where the only DVD release looks like it's literally just a VHS rip like Penelope Sheeris' Hollywood Vice Squad.

[LennonKolpin1975]

If they haven't already been mentioned:
Pandemonium (1982)
Surf II: The End of the Trilogy (1984)

[LennonKolpin1975]

In terms of TV movies, I don't believe the Not Quite Human Trilogy or 1994 Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes Returns have been released.

The Mind's Eye (1990) is only on VHS and Laserdisc. I think Radio Shack had an exclusive extended version on VHS only.

I recently snagged Beyond the Mind's Eye, The Gate to the Mind's Eye, and Odyssey Into the Mind's Eye on DVD at a garage sale for $2 a pop, so I was pretty happy about that.
It's unfortunate that the The Mind's Eye: A Computer Animation Odyssey never made it onto DVD. I've found that someone put a rip of the Laserdisc onto YouTube however.

You got lucky, the last I checked some of those DVDs go for $60 or something stupid like that. They were very early DVD releases so they might not be the greatest in quality, but they are also the only way to get them on a format that doesn't require you to invest in what is basically a dead format at this point.

Unfortunately skipping the first installment wasn't an acceptable option for me so obviously I bought a laserdisc player anyway.

Phantom of the Ritz (1988)

Damn, the old comic/video game store in town had this on LaserDisc for years. Bet it's worth a pretty penny now.

There was an Italian bootleg dvd copied from the VHS tape. This film needs a proper restoration and release (if possible)....
