What are the rarest/most valuable DVD's?
I've searched the net for many fruitless months in an answer to this one, but I think I've finally found the oracle to qwell my qwery. What are the most valuable/most rare DVDS? I frequent many flea markets and used DVD stores, and I'd hate to pass a diamond in the rough. A rough list, with approximate values would be great, or a point to a link that would list would be even better. I'm a full on DVD junkie now, and I know the out of print criterion's are quite pricey and hard to find, and I was wondering what else might be on this list. The only non-criterion rarity I've found is "A View to a Kill", currently, suprisingly out of print, given the bulk of Bond pictures availble.

Looks like a pretty crummy Criterion though (no extras that I can see). Any reason to get it instead of waiting for the MGM release?

I just may have to see if I can't track a copy down. Is it at least anamorphic?

Nature Boy, maybe this would be better to post in DVDTalk, since the bargain forum is more for links to known bargains.

Oh, and to add a few non Criterions, look for...
This Island Earth
Little Shop of Horrors (not the currently available one, but the one with the alternate ending)
Mark of the Devil
Tombs of the Blind Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Midnight Express
Any of the Marx Brothers Image dvds

I think that DVD that is hardest to get would be the THX Trailer disc that LucasFilms put out at a tradeshow that that the Simpsons on it.
I've got mine, and it is definitely my pride and joy of the collection...

In regards to Pasolini didn't Image release "The Decameron", "Canterbury Tales" and "Arabian Nights" on DVD. My fingers are crossed that MGM release the latter two since they just rereleased "The Decameron" last December.

I recently sold my 400 Blows CC on Ebay for over 250. I like the movie, but it's going to be rereleased this year so buyer beware.
Are the following CC discs worth any more than retail?:
Sid and Nancy
Beastie Boys
Picnic at Hanging Rock

The other two are both still in print and available, so no, not worth more than retail.
