I want these '70s-'80s films on DVD!!!

[runnersdialzero]

I'm a huge fan of late 60's, 70's and 80's cinema. I have to give props to the DVD companies for putting out quite a lot of these films. I'm not really talking about the big films like Godfather and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I'm talking about the smaller films of Pacino, De Niro, Redford, Hoffman, Beatty, Hackman, Nicholson, Newman and Brando. When are the following going to see the light of day?

Hi, Mom! - NOW ON DVD!!!
Greetings
The Fortune
Reds
Downhill Racer
1900
The Missouri Breaks
Cruising
The Great Waldo Pepper
Kaleidoscope
The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone
Scarecrow
New York, New York
Author! Author!
Bobby Deerfield
Inside Daisy Clover
The Only Game in Town
Ishtar


and what about these other titles?

Howard the Duck
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead



Saxon

[emhello]

I want:

License To Drive
The Naked Prey
The Silver Streak
Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again
Going Berserk

[William Fuld]

Greetings is on dvd, but I doubt the quality is very good.

[larry bender]

New York,New York is coming out as a second Scorsesse box set in december.

[Fok]

Peter's Friends is one I wouldn't mind seeing either.

[WarriorPrincess]

I vote for

License to Drive
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Eddie Murphy's Delirious

and Cry-Baby, even though it was released in 1990. :)

[dstrauss]

DVD just hasn't arrived until "Night of the Comet" comes out on disc.

(Seriously, I'm also waiting for Sting's "Bring on the Night" also.)

[Sonny]

Also
I Love You, Alice B. Toklas
You're A Big Boy Now

[Tony Dvdfan]

:thumbsup: That is the number one dvd i'm still waiting for. Also Howard the Duck and License to Drive.

[gutwrencher]

my 2 top wish-list picks of all time...and STILL waiting for:

The Other..from '72
They All Laughed...also with John Ritter.

...and as usual...never even a hint that they may get here soon. my third choice arrived last week, The Bad Seed. there are over 75 essentials I'm still waiting for.

[DickS]

I second THE OTHER and NAKED PREY.
Would also like THE INNOCENTS from Fox,
and BURN WITH BURN from MGM as a Midnight Movie DVD.
and BILLY BUDD from whomever currently owns the rights.
and SOLDIER BLUE in its uncut, widescreen version (rights?).
and FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE from Paramount.
There are more, but the list is narrowing in a huge way, and I thank all studios who release DVD's for that simple fact.

[kmanjamz]

Definately Ishtar - this deserves Special Edition treatment, I can watch that movie over and over again. I'll also second Howard the Duck not a great movie but a great try...

[sracer]

Absolutely, "The Other"! I'm a little tired of my VideoCD that I created from when AMC aired the film a while ago. Here's a few:

Blood on Satan's Claw
Day of the Triffids
Flesh Eaters
Lady in a Cage
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Cabinet of Caligari (NOT to be confused with "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari)
Bad Ronald
Crowhaven Farm
The Day Michael Came Home
Short Walk to Daylight

[KPlummer]

How can you forget "Rad"?

Really? Do you happen to know which movies are gonna be in it? Maybe The King of Comedy and Raging Bull will finally get a decent DVD treatment.

[ckolchak]

Inside Daisy Clover

i'd like to see that too, but my most wanted Natalie Wood movie would be Love With The Proper Stranger ('60s Paramount)

been asking for it for 2 years now...maybe in 2005

most of the big 70s films i'm jonesing for are of the low budget/ exploitation variety, but there are still some A list titles that are curiously absent

Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (Fox)
Let's Scare Jessica to Death (Paramount)
Love At First Bite (MGM)
Wanda Nevada (MGM)
StarCrash (New Concorde-Corman just put the catalog up for sale though, and the R2 disc is sadly of poor quality. was shocked to see my 2nd generation dupe of a pan and scan tape revealed finer detail and came from a much better print)
GoldenGirl (Columbia) ( a cinch i won't be seeing this one anytime soon since Columbia missed the opportunity to tie it in with the summer Olympics- suprisingly topical now too, with all the athletes testing positive for drugs and performance enhancers)
The Driver (Fox)
Butch & Sundance: The Early Days (Fox)

i would also love to see Outland get a true 16:9 remaster

not essential, but titles i still would buy-
Julia (Fox?)
An Unmarried Woman (Fox)
Thank God it's Friday (Columbia)
Almost Summer (Universal)
Corvette Summer (?)

[digiboy]

I'd like to see:

The Little Girl Who lives down the Lane (Jodie Foster-Martin Sheen)
Charlie Varrick (Walter Matthau)
Straight Time (Dustin Hoffman-Theresa Russell)
Contract on Cherry street (TV movie w/ Frank Sinatra)
The Formula (Brando)
Hennessey (Steiger)

[Mountain Biker]

Definitely! :thumbsup: I thought I was the only one here who wanted this on dvd. Oh and Warner now owns the rights.

[Ace Hamilton]

This may just be my favorite bad 70s movie that doesn't star William Shatner.

Another thumbs up for "Red Sky at Morning".
Does anyone remember "Night Moves" with Gene Hackman
(1975, directed by Arthur Penn)?

[djrisc]

Originally posted by KPlummer

HAHAHa Rad!! Oh man, I have this on VHS somewhere. With great one liners like:

"Cru, you are one RAD DUDE!"

Oh man, I will be seriously scared if they release this on DVD. (And yes, will probably buy it. I am such an addict.. help.)

I'm personally waiting on:

D.A.R.Y.L. (I can't BELIEVE they haven't released this yet.)

Electric Dreams
(I hear there is some problem with the fact that MGM sold this movie to Virgin and now it's in limbo. Any validity to this?)

[djrisc]

My bad, as mentioned above D.A.R.Y.L. is coming out in October!

woo!

[emhello]

Still can't believe that they haven't released such classics as Silver Streak, License To Drive, The Naked Prey and Going Berserk. :(

[salamander2]

It is ALREADY on DVD, it can be bought as cheap as 5 bucks!

Yes it is one of Hackman's best work.

Wasn't EL CID going to be released but never did?

the dorm that dripped blood


The Dorm That Dripped Blood is currently available under the title Pranks - I own but haven't watched it.

I'd also like to see Night of The Comet, Night of the creeps, Killer Party, Electric Dreams and especially Scenes From the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (did Paul Bartel ever record a commentary for this before his death, perhaps for the LD release?).

Another few I don't think have been mentioned:

Massacre at Central High with Andrew Stevens and Rainbeaux Smith.

Looker with Albert Finney and Susan Dey.

The Seduction with Morgain Fairchield.

Death Spa & Killer Workout

Blood Beach

Visiting Hours with William Shatner

Mausoleum

Scarecrows - I picked up the unrated VHS version of this 1987(?) horror flick for $1.99 at Movie Gallery - I was really impressed with how well done it was.

Too many more to list...

Roy,

That's a bootleg'd release. I've seen it. The transfer is horrendous. Even the VHS looks better. Steer clear of it.
Jef films, the company who put it out also did the same butcher job to nightmares in a damaged brain AKA: Nightmare (1981) Argh!

[iamOrokoSaki]

It's nice to see Explorers is finally being released, albeit with horrible cover art and no extras, a widescreen copy of the film will serve me nicely.

[Mod-Mod-World]

Valley of the Dolls
Housekeeping
Madame X
Andy Warhol's Bad
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
What a Way To Go

[flyboy]

Don't forget to add 1982's The Pirate Movie

[Sandpuppy]

Can't really think of any 80's flicks that I'd like to see on DVD that aren't already available, except maybe a SE of The Road Warrior. Lotsa 60's & 70's on my wish list, tho.


Point Blank
The Driver
Homebodies
The Wrong Box
Charley Varrick
Ride the High Country
Prime Cut
Firecreek
Sorcerer (OAR this time, dammit!)
The Hill
Our Man in Havana
Thieves Like Us
All at Sea
Emperor of the North
The Naked Prey
Brewster McCloud
The Gumball Rally
36 Hours

[icondude]

Siege of Firebase Gloria
Iron Triangle
Platoon Leader - much better than Platoon
Exterminator 2

Any other Golan-Globus/Cannon movie not already on DVD.

[rsa]

There's only 2 that I really want from this era;

Restless Natives 1985 (comedy from Scotland) 'Oh the humanity!!'

Crossroads 1986 (Ralf Macchio) I just loved the guitar duel!!

Scratch that, I saw that it's just been released.

Richard

[dom56]

I am still very much looking forward to the eventual release of:

The Competition (1980)
Missing (1982)

[ckolchak]

Pirate Movie is due out along with Mischief and License To Drive, as SEs from Anchor Bay sometime in '05.

AB is also putting together an SE for one of my most wanteds- Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry.
no time frame for it, but i would expect it Q4 '05 maybe Q1 '06.

[Third Baseman]

The Final Option (1982).

[YourOlympicHero]

The Chipmunk Adventure (1987)

[Eplicon]

The Bay Boy (1984). One of Keifer Sutherland's first film roles. I've always liked this small, period drama.

[runnersdialzero]

Any updates on any new 70's-80's films on DVD?

So far on my list, Hi Mom! is the only one that has come out on DVD.

Saxon

[darkhawk]

Still can't believe that they haven't released such classics as Silver Streak, License To Drive, The Naked Prey and Going Berserk. :(
Silver Streak was just released. I got it for $5.50 at Walmart

[darkhawk]

I'll take any title that received Oscar or Golden Globe nominations.

[buckee1]

Peter's Friends is one I wouldn't mind seeing either.

I'd really like to get this one on DVD myself. There is a R2 disc currently available but it's in FS only. Does anyone know the OAR for this one?

[runnersdialzero]

UPDATE!!

These films STILL aren't available on Region 1 DVD that I know of.

The Fortune (Dying for this one)
Downhill Racer
Cruising
Kaleidoscope

[jgido759]

Still hoping for
Almost Summer (1978 Universal)


I would like this one, too.

Also looking for:

Joey (1986 Rock & Roll Productions)
Typical cheesy 80's movie that deals with a young guy finding love and mending a broken relationship with his father. A sub plot is the father putting his life back together in the aftermath of his wife's death. If you like Doo-Wop music, Joey has a good bit of it.

[movie diva]

The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone- is on DVD, it is in the Tennesse Williams' box set, that came out last year.

[joshtown]

No Retreat, No Surrender.
That's all I ask for.
