Late for Dinner (with Peter Berg and Marcia Gay Harden). Get this on dvd, damnit!!
I also second Wrestling Earnest Hemingway, which is not only my favorite movie that's not on dvd yet, but my top 5 all-time favorites (which, as always, is subject to change at any given notice, and also depending on my mood).

That's a great movie. I was rewatching my tape of it a few months ago.

Julie, yeah I agree, that vhs tape of THE BURNING was beautiful and UNCUT (I remember arguing with a bunch of DVD fans at a horror board, who somehow prefered a semi-uncut DVD from Germany which was dark and ugly, over the MGM vhs which was uncut and watchable, just because it was a vhs, they prefered a unwatchable cut DVD! oh well!)

Yeah,I caught the MGM print when it aired on Flix back when the VHS was released and was blown away!!
Since previouslly I had only seen the film via a very crappy overpriced bootleg that wasn't even fully uncut!! It was a real bad hack job of a composite, splicing in the 'uncut' bits to the R rated print. Yet since it was done on a VCR,you had those blurry color lines durring every splice(from pause/play),the 'uncut' bits were of even worse quality(impossible to make out.. diseased orange toned!) than the R print(which was still horrible in the 100th generation league!).
It was based on that experiance with a bootleg that claimed to have "B+" picture and sound quality(the sound was impossibly low and garbled!) that I swore off bootlegs. You just can not trust the bastards at all!! I can only imagine the horror of being a genre fan before dvd and wide availability of quality presentations of films!
Oh and I have to wonder where they got their "R rated print" of the film? Since I found one for rental,and while not up to par with the MGM print. It was still watchable with decent audio. Not bad for a 20 year old used rental that may have been played a few times over!
But the MGM print is just amazing,since the film really came alive. I noticed so much in the audio that was garbled and not noticeable on the previous prints and it really enhanced the atmosphere. + the MGM print actually has color and is vibrant!
So in my opinion,if you can't find the MGM print. The R rated VHS rental is the next best option. I'd rather watch that,than another shitty incomplete hack job of a bootleg,or crap quality 'official international' release that still is not complete,nor offers decent audio and picture!
But if anyone knows when Flix/Encore networks may air The Burning again(I don't watch much tv,so I don't keep up on this),please let me know. I plan on recording it,since I should have done that the first time around!
It is one of the best camp slasher films ever made in my honest opinion and damn creepy!!
A dvd release can not come soon enough. So either Anchorbay or MGM better get their asses in gear and release it. It is long overdo for a quality dvd presentation.

But Julie, the bad news is now that Sony acquired MGM, THE BURNING, wnich would have been a perfect candidate for midnight movies (I think even in a chat with a MGM rep, stated they planned on releasing it as such) is now scrapped??

What I'd really like to have Anchor Bay release to DVD is the miniseries "Wild Palms."
They released it to VHS a few years ago, but no DVD.

My open plea to AB is for some of their current catalog:
Army of Darkness--Please make up your f$&king minds and release a definitive edition!!!!! I haven't bought it yet because of your goddamned shenanigans.
Manhunter--SAME!! What the hell is wrong? Why is the "theatrical cut" NOT the bloody theatrical cut, but missing a scene? Why can't you get it right? What the hell is going on over there? I post a lot about Manhunter, it's becoming an obsession, but the issue needs addressing.
Evil Dead--your transfer sucks!! Come on!! Get serious!!
OK. Night of the Comet and Creeps would be fun.

I'd buy a bunch of the ones mentioned but would add a couple of obscure films that would seem to be good Anchor Bay candidates to me:
Jack's Back (w/James Spader)
White of the Eye (w/David Keith)

QUICK CHANGE is coming from Warner Bros.
I would like SOMEONE, if not Anchor Bay, to release
THE CHANT OF JIMMIE BLACKSMITH
EL NORTE (foreign)
BILLY BUDD (Warner Bros probably owns this)
PATHFINDER (foreign)
SOLDIER BLUE (uncut)
...among many others

We can't afford to be innocent
stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice.
It's a do or die situation - we will be invincible.
