What movie do you wish would come out on DVD?

Asked by filmfann (52235points) January 28th, 2010

I’m not talking about films currently in the theaters. I mean movies that should have been available long ago, or those that may have once been out, but are no longer made.

I’ve got a list of like 25 movies that, for whatever reason, are not on Netflix – and some of them are classics I’ve been told to watch by dozens of people! I don’t understand :(

This includes Doctor Zhivago and The African Queen.

I’m guessing if I really wanted to find them I could, but it’s just so weird for Netflix to not have them…

I would like to see the old WC Fields/Jack Oakie movie Million Dollar Legs (1932) come out. It was hysterical, and a forerunner of the Marx Bros. “Duck Soup”.
I would also like to see the TV Miniseries “The Odyssey” with Armand Assante be rereleased on DVD.

There was a short movie by Jason Reitman (of ”‘Juno” and “Thank You For Smoking” fame) called “In God We Trust” that I absolutely loved. I would love to see it on DVD with his other short movie “Gulp”.

I was just about to answer Truly, Madly, Deeply but when I Googled to check for sure I found that it is actually available. Oh well, that’s good news.

Okay, promise not to laugh: Beanstalk from 1994. I loved that movie when I was a kid, and well… dammit, I’m going to openly admit that I want to rent it to enjoy the memories.

@trumi I’ll sell you my copy of Doctor Zhivago for a small fee :) Great Movie!

I wish I could get The Dollmaker, my mom loves that movie and she has been waiting for it to come out on DVD.

Disney’s Song of the South hasn’t been release on video in this country, but I have seen a Japanese copy.
Yes, it has racially insensitive moments, but it’s a nice little movie, and has the “Zip-A-Dee-Do-Da” song!

the adventures of cherokee, the ebony big booty hoe part 4, the return of long john black.

Not a movie, but I wish Max Headroom (the TV series) would be released on DVD.

filmfann's avatar

@HungryGuy I believe the original English version is available.
I would definitely get the American, if they included the music video of Divine singing “Walk Like A Man”

HungryGuy's avatar

@filmfann – Is the English pilot on DVD? I have it on VHS, but would love to get it on DVD! But the TV series (American) isn’t.

Now for something very odd…Amazon had the entire TV season listed on DVD and I ordered it a couple of months ago. When I got it, it was low quality and recorded off the TV screen, with the cable channel logo superimposed on the screen like they do, and a sloppy job of editing out the commercials…it incuded a note that the merchant “bought the distribution rights.” Yeah, right…
