dvd's you've been patient for to be released...but never have been

[tarko]

hey guys, just wondering if anyone else is in my boat...i've been waiting for years it seems for some certain films to be releasd on dvd, but they never seem to come out. Here are a few of the titles i'm waiting for...and maybe still will be this time next year

the butcher boy
the young poisoners handbook
the thin blue line

what other films is everyone waiting for to get the dvd treatment?

[detective mills]

not a film but I've been waiting for a while for Newsradio to be released on dvd. I think it's finally coming out next may though.

[mshulman5]

Night of the Creeps
Scarecrows (1988)

[akula dvd]

I heard about The Game getting the Criterion treatment a while ago, but now I can't find anything about it.

[bourahioro]

I don't know if it is out on dvd or not, but I'd like the night of the living dead remake...as well as return of the living dead 3, and the Monster squad.

[mshulman5]

Night of the Living Dead remake and Return of the Living Dead 3 are both out and have been for a looong time. Monster Squad has had an unauthorized release as a VCD I believe but has never been release officially on DVD.

[Jimmy"The Gent"]

It's not a movie, but I'm dying for Adult Swim's Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law to come out on some kind of DVD set. Shit is hilarious.

[sarah1980]

The Monster Squad

[MacReady]

A Clockwork Orange
The Road Warrior

And by that I mean that there's a really crappy release out and I wanna wait for a better treatment but in both cases I've waited for over a year or two.

Oh, and I'd like to see somebody release King Kong already.

[A.J. Hakari]

TWIN PEAKS: Season Two
THE STING (a better edition than what's out now)

If these two ever come to reality, I can die a happy, happy man.

[Tayzlor]

Pickpocket
The Exterminating Angel
Gates of Heaven
Last Year at Marienbad
Pandora's Box

[Korny]

As far as I know Barton Fink and Falling Down do not have the DVD treatment they deserve and have no plans for a sexy release in the future (Region 2))

I'd love to be proved wrong on this though.

[SykkBoy]

Kenny And Company (though it's been brought to my attention this coming of age gem is coming out from Anchor Bay in 2005)
The Brood (a better transfer than the crappy one out now and please let's get a Cronenberg commentary)
Luther The Geek

[BadCoverVersion]

Aye Hakari, there's the rub.

I finally gave in last week and purchased Season 1....I was holding out for a deluxe boxset dealy but it doesn't look like it's happening EVER. Oh, and I watched Season 1 in 2 days and was left feeling more frustrated than ever, dagnammit.

Other than that:

Naked
Performance
If...

Rendezvous (9 minutes)

The Comic Strip Presents... - A Collection

[Joshmo]

Ken Park: Its been in limbor for like 2 years now

Salo: Stopped printing years ago...needs a remaster as well

Monster Squad

Caligula (Unedited) Dont care for the transfer at all...needs another remaster.

[bluesbrother965]

Some nice, special editions of Network, Deliverance, some Kubrick movies, and All the President's Men would be great.

[the ooze]

the roar series would be nice
also the 1985 tv alice in wonderland/ through the looking glass is a must must must
up until a couple months ago it was the sw trilogy
back in the day jackie brown took forever to come out

monster squad yes!
wolfmans got nards
word

[Lord Raiden]

The TV show Wings.

There. I said it. The show managed to be on for over 7 years, yet everyone seems to bash on it. I loved the show and would buy every season if they ever released it on DVD. I think more people hate it, so it will never see the light of day on DVD. Bummer.

[#1dvdfan]

THE MONSTER SQUAD
SUBSPECIES TRILOGY
GROWING PAINS SEASONS
MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS SEASONS
HOWARD THE DUCK
AND MANY, MANY, MANY, MORE......

[Patrick Bateman]

DVD's I've patiently been waiting on are....

Batman 1989: SE
Batman Returns: SE
the rumored American Psycho: SE
the original King Kong
the original War of the Worlds
Lois & Clark: The new adventures of Superman Season 1
and
NOTLD '90 would be nice.

I know I'm forgetting about some more, but It's too early in the morning.

The tv show Nash Bridges.

[nachogrande]

RAD!!!!

[Badbird]

I read a long time ago (2001 I think) that there were Batman SEs in the works. Two disc extravagansas supposedly, rummored that there was a whopping one-hour of deleted scenes from Batman Forever... and then poof! Nothing.

I think that by the time you see Batman Begins on DVD, they'll wheel these out just in time for Christmas 2005.

Fox puuled some shit like that with the Predator SE. All the bonus material read copyright 2001 - but we didn't get it until AVP came out to theaters. And now a Predator 2 SE DVD is coming out - oh, look at that - just in time for the DVD of AVP. Makes me wanna say WTF WB and FOX? FU. And so on.

I'm still waiting for Orgazmo.

Wyatt Earp finally came out... but not the DC which was released on fucking VHS! And where's that Waterworld DC?

[Nachokoolaid]

Kenneth Branaugh's HAMLET.

I've been waiting on that for awhile, and still nothing!

A good DUMB AND DUMBER special edition.

THE PRINCESS BRIDE special edition.

Those are my three most wanted.

As cheesy as the film is, I want Over the Top to be released on DVD... Region 1 format, there is a Region 2 release in print.

Last I heard, the BATMAN 1989, and BATMAN RETURNS SE's are going to be released this summer. To coincide with the release of Batman Begins. Havent heard much about the rumored SE of "Forever", but it would be nice of WB to finally let us Bat fans see this directors cut that we've been waiting years for.

I'm still waiting for Orgazmo.

Yes. That baby is definately a must have. :)

I know it'll probably never happen but I'd like to see Up the Academy and Moving Violations. They don't even have to be anything special. I'd be happy with a bare bones release.

[MacReady]

It's still available on Amazon.Ca

Plus there's another print coming out that's supposed to be real cheap on February 1st.

That puts me in a quandry on whether or not to rebuy it.

I first saw this movie around '87, liked it, and watched it several times, but when it was finally for sale on VHS and later on DVD, they evidently couldn't secure the rights for some of the music that had been used originally so the soundtrack was completely different.

Still waiting for a DVD for the Scrubs tv show.

[Servo]

FREAKED! (aka Hideous Mutant Freekz) I love that movie so much and it is so CLASSIC. It's like the foundation of my humor. As far as special editions, I'd like to see Beetlejuice and Bram Stoker's Dracula gets some treatment. The current DVD's wang chung.

EDIT: Damn. I almost forgot about Tales From the Crypt! They need to release these babies by season!

[Damone]

Yes!
According to anchorbayentertainment.com Moving Violations is supposed to be released Spring of 2005 so I can take that off my list!

[bdubprod]

i'd love to see The Monster Squad on DVD


hows about a legitimate Region 1 DVD of The Brave by J. Depp

[mshulman5]

I just thought of a couple of cheesy movies from the 80's I'd love to get a DVD release.

Over the Top - Sylvester Stallone arm wrestling movie. Great cheesy 80's soundtrack.

The Wizard - Cheesy 80's movie starring a young Fred Savage. His "special" brother is an ace at Super Mario Bros. 2 or something and they run away to the Nintendo Video Game championships so he can play and win. Cheesy as hell and probably hasn't stood the test of time that well, but I'd buy it up like that.
