Going Berzerk (a 1983 John Candy/Eugene Levy low-budget laffer that is a guilty pleasure of mine)

How could I forget the film that showed the $400,000 spectacular "Kung Fu U."!

SNL or MADTV seasons, too much legal rights to deal with.

Nope, TCM only shows films uncut, letterboxed, with no commercial interruptions. They'd be my favorite channel if they showed more films made after 1960... as it is, they do screen Polanski/Tarkovsky/Antonioni films on occasion. Maybe they'll show The Conformist! And I can tape it! Yeah!

Two movies I'd hoped for after the release of the far inferior third film in the trilogy. Still no word at all. Bummer.

I think Paramount's working on an If... release for this year.

I sure hope so. if... was supposed to be released last year too. I've seen so many release dates get pushed back on this I'll believe it when I finally discover it in my mailbox.

A few titles I'd love to get that I doubt will see the light of DVD anytime soon, if ever, are BIGGER THAN LIFE, the fantastic film by Nicholas Ray starring James Mason and HANGOVER SQUARE, the 1945 film with Laird Cregar, Linda Darnell, and George Sanders. It has an amazing score by Bernard Herrmann and the lead character is a sympathetic murderer/pianist. I wish I still had my tape from when I first saw it on AMC over 10 years ago. I think FOX has the rights to both of these films.

The top of my list would be Allan Arkush's funny as hell Get Crazy . Unfortunately I suspect in todays straight-laced times, no studio has the balls to touch it.

Also...

Jim Henson did a muppet version of Dog City back in the early 90's I'd love to have.

I'll also second someones previous request for A Wish For Wings That Work. And I could swear there was another Bloom County tv special.

The Wizard of Speed, and Time.

I also would really like to see the uncut 1900 as it tops my list, as well as Decline of Western Civilization I

The rest on my list -

Ride the High Country early Peckinpah
Rude BoyClash film
Miracle of Morgan's Creek As well as every other Preston Sturges film, that Criterion hasn't released.

Off the top of my head:

1. Late Shift (HBO Movie about Late Night Wars)

2. Cannibal Girls (obscure black comedy from Ivan Reitman)

3. Quick Change (why isn't this out yet?)

4. Rover Dangerfield (couldn't resist!)

Someone mentioned Stacy-Attack of the Schoolgirl Zombies... I believe it's the same "Stacy" as released by Synapse. It's available now.

For the record, TCM has made minor edits to a few films over the years. I'm not sure if that is their current policy, though. For the most part, stuff is uncut.

"The House of God" - Don't know if it's good. I've never seen and probably never will. I like the book though.

Watching 2001 earlier today made me think of a few Keir Dullea films that I like which I doubt will see DVD any time soon.

THE FOX - co-starring Sandy Dennis

BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING - really entertaining film directed by Otto Preminger with Noel Coward, Laurence Olivier and Carol Lynley

If I ran the head of Paramount Home Video, this would be the first film I would release on DVD. Followed by all the unrated cuts of the trunscated Friday the 13th films on DVD...

Here are a few more
Angel on my Shoulder (the 1990 tv movie which is better than the orginal)
Death Takes a Holiday ( the tv movie version)
Brigadoon (the version with Robert G and Peter Falk which is more faithful to the play that the Gene Kelly version)
Austin
