Would You Be Interested in a "Heathers" 20th Anniversary DVD in 2008?

Okay, the DVD that Anchor Bay released in 2001 is almost perfect, but there are a couple of things missing that I'd like to have.

- a commentary with Winona Ryder, Shannen Doherty, Christian Slater, and Lisanne Falk.

- a biography tribute on the life and death of Kim Walker (died March 6, 2001 at the age of 32)

plus all of the extras on the 2001 disc. Anything else?

Didn't Heathers come out in 1989?

I've already double-dipped on this one, and am pretty happy with the extras on the version that's out now. So I probably wouldn't triple-dip on this one.

Actor commentaries are usually useless, with a lot of giggling or happy talk or dead air. Unless these actors actually had things to say (or were edited together well, Criterion-style), I could do without that. Honestly, though it's a great movie, the only thing that would get me to buy it again at this point would be a high-def release (with all the 2001 special features, of course).

But, IMDb (as well as a few others) lists it as 1989. I always thought it was released theatrically in 1988, but I've been wrong many times before.

I would pass on this one. I have the Anchor Bay limited tin. The movie is okay, if a bit overrated...

Agreed, and it doesn't hold up very well.

I loved this movie back in the day but now....it's just okay. I got the latest DVD and watched it once. I wouldn't spring for another version.

I would love a rerelease. Since i never got a replacement for my defected copy. And have not been able to find the corrected copies on the shelves since(they'd state "Version 2.0 on the back). So I never dared risked picking up the many copies I see at Target,Borders and so on.

I liked the movie but not enough to double-dip.

This is correct. And I think the current release is more than adequate. I love the movie, but like many 80's teen flicks, it is a little dated.

I'll only buy if it has some sort of asinine title:
Heathers: The "If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being, you'd be a game-show host" edition
Heathers: The "I love my dead gay son" edition
etcetera.

Oh and it should come with a copy of Moby Dick with meaningful passages underlined.

Only if Winona Ryder delivered it personally and told me how much she loved me.

Heathers: We Scare People Into Not Being Assholes Edition

With PC correctness and school shootings nowadays, we'll probably never see another release of this.

Do the fixed copies have a new UPC?

I'd like another crack at that cool looking tin that came out during my non-collecting dvd days.

I'd probably buy another one. I have one of the "defective" ones but it still plays.... so I'm running on borrowed time.

Have you tried contacting the studio about a replacement? I don't see why they still wouldn't be doing it.
