You can forget about TZ, Harry And The Hendersons, and whichever other ones are WB films as they DO NOT license their films out anymore. And I believe Quick Change is coming from someone.

Pee-Wee Show is already out on DVD

MGM has a pretty nice transfer of Night of the Comet prepped and ready to go. If you want a sneak peek, it's in fairly heavy rotation on HDNet Movies.

You're probably thinking of the Danny Devito movie which I've seen too, the version I'm looking for is by the writer of The Commitments and The Snapper.

We need the original Pee-Wee special (on HBO I think).
It was filthy and hilarious. Early 80's?

zyzzle 04-18-05 01:12 AM

PULSE (1988)
WARNING SIGN (1985)
WAVELENGTH (1983)


Seconded for DEADLY EYES, NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (TV-version footage @ end of the film!!), RAD, and THE EARTHLING!!!

Anchor Bay used to release excellent Spaghetti Westerns. Except the Hellbenders, I see no more future titles of SW by Anchor Bay. There are still plenty of titles out there worthy enough. My wish: Sartana series: Sartana, I am Sartana your angel of Death, Have a Good Funeral Sartana will pay, Light the fuse Sartana is Coming, and Saratan's here trade your pistol for a coffin.

All those titles have been released in other regions, but no worthy extras. I'm sure if AB can release them with good extras, US SW fans will certainly buy.

More list: Blood at Sundown, 100 Rifles.

Well, I think a lot of that was Bill Lustig, who's no longer with the company but has released some Spaghetti westerns under the Blue Underground imprint.

I've been wanting to see Rapa Nui for a long time.

Hank1215 04-18-05 08:17 AM

Speaking of westerns, I wish someone would release "Red Sun" on DVD. I saw this in the theater back in 1971. Stars Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune and Ursula Andress. Excellent mix of western and samurai clashing cultures.

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).

Julie Walker 05-08-05 03:08 AM

Also we need them to get their asses in gear and finally release

The Burning on dvd in it's uncut glory(they released a gorgeous restored print years ago on VHS through amazon).

http://imdb.com/title/tt0082118/

salamander2 05-08-05 06:37 AM

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!)

Julie Walker 05-08-05 01:22 PM

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.

salamander2 05-08-05 02:50 PM

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??

Julie Walker 05-08-05 03:04 PM

We will see Salam,since this article gives me alittle ray of hope...if Sony does'nt mess up that is..... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...highlight=sony

Just found out Fatso is being released in July by Anchor Bay. Yippee!

Josh-da-man 05-21-05 03:09 PM

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. :(

randyba 05-21-05 11:17 PM

I would like to see Little Darlings.
