I've heard that the rights to African Queen have been acquired by Criterion. Hopefully they will take the blu-ray step prior to releasing this one.

No Highway in the Sky - Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Dietrich
Strategic Air Command - Jimmy Stewart
Taker Her, She's Mine - Jimmy Stewart
A Ticklish Affair - Gig Young
Sunday in New York - Rod Taylor, Jane Fonda
Electric Dreams - Lenny Von Dohlen
The Boys in the Band
Song of the South
Love Among the Ruins - Katharine Hepburn, Laurence Olivier
Follow the Boys - Connie Francis
Sitting Pretty - Clifton Webb
Mr. Belvedere Goes To College - Clifton Webb
The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker - Clifton Webb
Where Were You When the Lights Went Out - Doris Day
A Gathering of Eagles - Rock Hudson
The Return of the Musketeers - Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain

Not asking for much, but none of these has made it to DVD yet. My list for out-of-print DVDs that aren't currently available isn't quite as long.

"Unman, Wittering and Zigo"

Not sure it even made it out on VHS!

1Fish2FishRedFishBlu · 03-10-2008, 06:35 PM

When I was a kid I saw a movie in the theaters I rememeber as "Ultraman" the same Japanese character I see some imports for for some series they have there. (Im not as interested in the series as this movie)

It was very cheesy but I would love to see it again.

There Are A Few But These 4 Would Be Great.
1. Electric Dreams (with Lenny Von Dohlen)
2. Thunder Alley (with Roger Wilson And Leif Garrett)
3. Turk 182 (with Timothy Hutton And Robert Urich)
4. Zapped (with Scott Baio)

Mostly I think some original Theaters Cut should make it to Blu instead of their "extended" batardisation made years after the director's death, like PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID (double disc edition with both the TC and DC, not the recent recut) is a good example, TOUCH OF EVIL too would benefit having a restoration of the original TC, not the revisitation made from Orson Welles notes (or just keep it as an extra). I think there are other examples of original theatrical cuts that should come to Blu, most notably a certain trilogy.

Blu Falcon · 03-10-2008, 06:53 PM

The Final Option (also known as Who Dares Wins). It's not exactly a "great" film, but it is one of the few movies out there about the British SAS. I've still got a copy on VHS.

I enjoyed that film as well, like you said not great but fun. Saw it when it first came out.

I would also add "FM" to my list (no static at all

)
