The Man Who Saw Tomorrow...Movie about Nostradamus Visions?
I'm pretty sure about the title, This is the movie from around 1980-82 with Orson Welles as the narrator. I believe this was a WB movie. Anybody heard anything on a release on DVD? Or memories of this movie?

Haven't heard about a DVD release, but this flick scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

I remember this as well. It was very scary when I was a kid and then pissed me off later when I found out the truth about Nostradamus and just how full of shit the whole Nostradamus thing is.

I've been waiting for this one for ages! Orson is hilarious in his role as host, constantly hamming it up and practically winking at the audience, as if to say "Hey, I know it's BS, but they're paying me to do this!"

i remember it...
the whole sequence of 'the man in the blue turban' striking 'the new city' with 'two birds'... which they painted as nuclear missiles i think... came to my mind on 9-11... since the film was so old by then and all...
hammed up to the hilt by Orson for sure...
it was creepy when i was young...

I have it on VHS, since loved it as a kid even though it still scared the shit out of me. WB owns this, but it would be great if they release it next year around the time of the MAgnificent Ambersons DVD.

If you live in northern Florida, there's a Movie Gallery that has a VHS copy new and sealed for the low low price of $24.99.
I think it's been sitting there as long as the place has been open (about 7 years).
