Good Burger UE! :D

Seriously,

"Metropolitan
Last Days of Disco (released but OOP)"

Criterion is releasing Metropolitan in February. Hell, I'd just love a Whit Stillman box set. Hell, I'd love the guy to make another movie!

Mine...
Get Smart
The Tick animated show (yeah!)
The Exterminating Angel

5 huh...? There are a ton of '50s sci-fi schlock I'd like to see on DVD, as well as tons of HK flicks (a good Pedicab Driver, primarily), so I'll stick with what I've already written.

Oh, one more... How about a chopped-up, dubbed, and re-scored R1 release of Battle Royale? Anyone? No? Okay... :)

Yeah, you got some of mine there! I'm a sucker for cheesy 80's and 70's flicks, of the ilk that used to be shown on HBO and Cinemax back in the day. I'd have to say Spring Break tops my list, though. On that same note, I'll add...

Eddie And The Cruisers 2 : Eddie Lives (1989)
Thunder Alley (1985) (**added - forgot before**)
The Chicken Chronicles (1977)
Almost Summer (1978)
Under The Boardwalk (1989)
Breaking All The Rules (1985)
The Night Before (1988)
Night Of The Comet (1984)
Night Of The Creeps (1986)
The Wraith (in a WS, special edtion. Something better than the cheapo version that's available currently - but at least I've got that.)

I know I'm forgetting some others, too.

As for other titles, and at least I know a few of these are in the works...

Twin Peaks - Season 2
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited - Full season sets
Stark Raving Mad
Brimstone
Birds Of Prey - complete series
The Six Million Dollar Man
The Bionic Woman
Batman - 1960s TV series
Dazed And Confused - a real SE, unlike the one they put out this past year. Heard there may possibly be a Criterion edtion in the works - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Airborne
The Trojan War (mid 90's comedy)

Sometimes a Great Notion

Excellent--somehow I missed that. And I agree, I'd love to have him make another movie.

Supposedly he is working on a script adaptation combining two unfinished Jane Austin novels

Cool news. I'd read about the possiblity of it in an interview with Linklater (somewhere, I forget exactly). It was right after the Slacker Criterion edtion came out, and he was saying how he hoped to do a Dazed And Confused CE, too - as he really didn't get to have a lot of input, or time, to do anything with the last DVD re-release.

I hope they include they AMC documenatry "Making Dazed" - which I just sort of stumbled across the other day while flipping channels. I only caught the last 20 minutes, but it was quite good, and made me want to see more. Doesn't look like it's airing again until December (12th & 13th - fro anyone else interested).

mcarver 11-20-05 01:40 PM

1) Performance (1970) - Director's Cut

2) Until The End of the World (1991)

3) Rubin and Ed (1991)

Rumour is that they have the rights to it and will include it....this will definiatly be a plus, i think the documentary "Making Dazed" was done very good, i've watched it a few times and I could watch the actual movie over and over. It aired a few nights ago, watched it again :)
