You'll Most Likely Never See on DVD, but want...

[Chemical]

I was wondering what movie(s) you would like to see on DVD, but know that they most likely will never be released on DVD.

Here are my picks:
Full Body Massage (1995)
No Retreat, No Surrender (1985)

I just love Mimi Rogers. Always thought she was one hot woman, and would love to see this on DVD for obvious reasons. The movie sucked overall but the plot wasn't on my mind... her full body massage was.

Get a region-free DVD player and you're good to go:

There's no movie in the IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/find?tt=on;nm=on;mx=20;q=t.a.g.) by that name so you're probably right. Was it ever commercially released?

Not exactly a blockbuster at the box office or on video when it first came out - but a really good movie.

gut's probably right: most of this stuff will show up, sooner or later, absent overriding copyright issues. The explosion of TV sets will, I think, (eventually) pick up even obscure and short lived series (like Doctor, Doctor and/or Bay City Blues).

What I'd like to see more of is some nice, inexpensive discs of genre films that don't make Best Of lists, but will help you round out a collection of a particular actor. There are lots of good (or at least interesting), Robert Mitchum films, like The Wonderful Country, His Kind Of Woman and Where Danger Lives, that aren't available. His situation has been improving over the last year, so maybe we'll see these eventually.

Those are just for illustration's sake. There are many other examples from other worthy people. I just hope they're eventually seen as being cost effective and released.

Not for the movie, but just to have the version you think they would never put out. You are going to think I am insane, but I don't care.

My big dream for DVD... is that all of the various BBC and Public TV dramas that I loved so much as a kid might be made available as retail purchases.

Problem is, most of it has already been released, but *ONLY FOR THE LIBRARY/SCHOOL MARKET*--where they charge an additional $200 fee or more per disc for "public performance rights"...

In particular, I most want the complete BBC Shakespeare--available now for about 3 grand!!--and The Theban Plays--available for about $500... Damn shame that they cut the general audience out of the equation entirely and focus only on "institutional sales"...

One of my favorite movies from the 60's that has NEVER appeared on home video in any form is Arthur Penn's <b>MICKEY ONE</b> with Warren Beatty (made just before they went on to do <i>Bonnie and Clyde</i>) - a mesmerizing film about paranoia set in Chicago, with a great jazz score featuring Stan Getz.

I do think that most of these will hit DVD, as most of these are high in demand. There are, however, some lesser talked about things that I wonder if will show up. One that I have been thinking about lately is the Paper Moon TV series. The show was before my time, and I love the movie, and I've only read good things about the TV series, and would love to see it. Including it in a box set anniversary edition or special edition of some sort with the original movie would be idea.

And there are some on DVD that are out there, but I am wondering if the studios will ever make special editions of the movies. They are movies I really like, but I don't want to settle for bare bones editions of them if I am going to spend money on them. Rainmaker and Bulworth are a couple examples there. I am actually more concerned about special editions of certain beloved movies never being made because they already are put out on DVD in substandard ways, and that might be all the studio will do for it.

Most everything else listed will come eventually. At least I hope.

I wouldn't really call them jokes...

I know millions of people have picked up the new SE set, although I don't know how many people that wanted the originals have caved in and bought the SE set or not. If Lucas had followed Spielberg's example (E.T.,) and released both versions in the set, then everyone would have been happy.

Also, if Lucas had announced that there would be two versions available, then I am sure many people would have gladly double-dipped.

As it stands, however, the set is not a high priority for me, as I have my laserdisc versions, and I might even pick up the *ahem* "import" dvds, if I really wanted to watch them on my DVD player instead of my laserdisc (which is broken right now.)

I suppose the cost would be prohibitive....but wouldn't it be great to have a channel that showed nothing but short-lived TV series? Stuff that ran a half a season, one season, stuff that was somewhat popular but didnt do more than a few seasons. If they can have garbage shopping and specialty channels TEAMING all over the cable and dish networks that we as subscribers pay for, they could do this as well. It seems to me there would definitely be an audience for this....hell, they have TVLand, why couldn't they have TVWasteland? :)

In any case, a few I want to see on DVD:

"Just Say Julie"

Anyone else remember this show? It aired on MTV around 1987, and Starred Julie Brown (the hot - at the time - redheaded Julie Brown, not the evil British Julie Brown), and was pretty much a one-woman show of her doing skits and riffing on videos (similar to Beavis & Butthead). I remember loving this show when I was a teenager. Her impersonation of Tawny Kitaen doing splits on the car while riffing the Whitesnake video ("oops, I forgot to wear underwear and got stuck to the hood in this shot") still makes me chuckle every time I think about it.

I would love to have this on DVD, or even vhs, but I doubt it will ever happen.

Yeah, that show was great.

Also Julie Brown's fake documentary called Dare to Be Truthful (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104843/combined) that was a dead-on spoof of Madonna's Truth or Dare (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102370/combined) documentary. Hilarious! For instance, Madonna's song "Express Yourself" was spoofed as "Expose Yourself". I wish it was on DVD too!

I actually got to have short conversation with Rita Rudner about this film a few months ago. It was a neat experience but I totally forgot to ask her if a release was coming, perhaps with a commentary with herself and her husband (who co-wrote the film).

My most-wanted title is one that I am sure I will still be waiting a long time for, 1980's The Competition (Amy Irving, Richard Dreyfuss).

The Kate Bush concert disk already mentioned would also be something I would snap up in a heartbeat.

Missing (1982) is on my most-wanted list as well, but I am pretty sure that will see a release before long since it has such a heavily acclaimed film.

I'm not sure if it has been officially announced, probably not, but I had heard it from them. They had acquired the rights to a few new line/fine line titles and the first to be released obviously is short cuts. They mentioned that they are to be released in early '05. That's all I know.

Battle of the Network Stars, from the 70's. I would love to see those old shows. Julie Brown was very funny and her MTV show would be cool to see again. The British Julie Brown was much hotter, albeit with very little talent.
