[SamEagle]

I don't know how rare these are, but I have the following OOP titles:

RoboCop: Criterion
Alien Legacy set (w/ the mail-away 5th disc)
Battlestar Galactica series (in the Cylon head)
and I have 26 other OOP titles too, but none of them are too rare (ie Men in Black CE, 2-disc Big Trouble in Little China, etc.)

[Peppy]

Supergirl Limited Edition
Battle star Galacia: Cyclone head
T2: tin edition

[chocodog]

what movies come in the Lucio Fulci Collection? i dont have very many dvd's to begin with but my rarest one would likely be KIDS IN THE HALL:BRAIN CANDY, but i dont think that is very rare.

Can't most of these titles be easily had at Amazon? That's not really rare.

[Munson]

The only titles that I have that I consider somewhat rare are the Silence of the Lambs Criterion and Sid & Nancy Criterion.

[Indy in IN]

Nothing I would call rare. Many out of print like T2: Ultimate and Men in Black-LE. I was looking at Flash Gordon (1980) the other day. It was $40.00, which isn't a bad price actually.

everything pretty much mentioned can be ordered from amazon just like the robocop criterion as mentioned and half of the movies i mentioned cant be found on amazon...To be exact 14 of the movies i mentioned can't be found on amazon

[realspicylike]

a friend of mine created a version of wizard of oz on dvd that has an alternate "dark side of the moon" audio track. its pretty awesome.

Well if you can get them through Amazon, they aren't rare, or borderline so it's not really nitpicking.

A rare dvd is one that's been out of print for some time, and is selling for much higher than it used to retail for. And by definition, rare should be something that have only a few copies out in existance.

[lynchfan_714]

Well if you can get them through Amazon, they aren't rare, or borderline so it's not really nitpicking.

Than by that definition none of the DVD's listed by any shmoe above are rare. Because if it's a legitimate DVD release than Amazon has it in it's archive. No matter what region the DVD is on, Amazon will have it in that particular part of the world, German, UK, United States, and so on.

as a matter a fact, I would consider Thursday and Salo one of the most rarest DVD's out there in region 1 world and yet you can obtain it through Amazon...

[Skysaber]

Yeah, I forgot about my Eraserhead DVD.

[Indy in IN]

Christ, I guess Thursday is rare. $95.00 for a used one at Amazon for a it and that is the Disc only. "Not a copy", right. They go up to $235.00.

I looked into it and the legitamite copy is very expensive. My friend bought a VHS copy for like $50...

So if you run across the film on DVD I say "pick it up"... I've never seen the movie but, there is no way in hell I'm gonna drop a $100 plus on a blind buy.

Well if you wanna consider it like that nothing pretty much mentioned here is rare at all because Robocop criterion, the lynch movies, cannibal films and everything else that can't be found in stores can be purchased online either through amazon, lynch's own website or other sites that i know of that carry really rare films for 20 a piece.

Last time I checked, there's a copy of The Criterion Collection's The Killer that goes for 350$ USED. I'd say that's pretty frickin' rare (I'd give anything to get an affordable copy on eBay).

[BigKickerSnicke]

Silence of the Lamb (Criteron Collection - Out of Print)

[khwan]

I just start my collections thus I don't have any rare dvd but just few out of print dvd:

3) Cast Away - Special Edition (2000)
4) Manhunter - Restored Director's Cut - Divimax Series

[HilfigerB2]

I have Just One of the Girls on DVD
the 80s movie with Cory Haim.. it isn't even listed
on amazon.com as ever being made, but I found it
in the store.

I also have Silence of the Lambs: Criterion Collection

- and -

Savannah Smiles - used to be really expensive and rare
but all of the sudden it seems its readily available.. weird.

[Jesse's Trix]

My two rarest DVDs are probably Russ Meyer's "Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!" and "My Best Friend's Birthday", Quentin Tarantino's incomplete first film. I also have a whole bunch of Japanese horror, yakuza, samurai movies and king-fu flicks that you can't buy in just any high street DVD shop.

[ColinM]

I really want to see this! Where did you get it on DVD? I thought it wasn’t available on DVD yet...?

[Jim H]

I have Howard the Duck on DVD. I'm pretty sure it's a bootleg. Does that count?

other than that... Not much. I had the chance to get a Criterion Silence of the Lambs for like $10 used, but I turned it down. Oh well.

I also have criterions of Yojimbo and Sanjuro, but I don't think they're particularly rare.

My rarest LD, however, is Once Upon a Time in the West. Well, most valuable anyway (value is next to nothing now that the DVD is out though).

Just thought i'd add something

Thursday is rare only because nobody saw the film. It made 2,000 bucks at the theatres and was limited to what, 1,000 DVD copies? If it wasn't for the fact Thomas Jane and Aarson Eckhart were in it, I bet it wouldn't have ever been released on DVD. I hate when this happens, a film is considered worthless until somebody realizes a few famous people are in it. All of a sudden, the film skyrockets in popularity. In this case, I don't think any public interest would get a reprint of the disc though.

I'm just amazed a film could do so poorly, yet do so well for DVD sales. :confused:

You're also not getting that through Amazon. You're getting it through a person selling it.

[ash_housewares]

I only have a few:

Akira (Limited edition tin)
Army of Darkness 2 disc limited edition (canadian edition, which is limited to 4000 copies)
Basic Instinct collector's edition
Dead Alive (very hard to come by in canada)
Meet the Feebles (Dead Alive productions release, also hard to get in canada)
Sleepaway Camp box set with recalled red cross cover
Evil Dead Limited edition tin
Tool: salival

i think that's about all.
