Other classics not on DVD
Today it seems like almost every film is released on DVD. I'm curious what films havn't been released on DVD that should be. Thanks.
shareThis one, Let It Be, and Ladies & Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains
shareRolling Thunder, The Wild Life, The Brothers Karamazov and Under the Volcano; four I'd personally like to own!
shareGood call on Under the Volcano! One of my favorites.
Here are some that I voted on at TurnerClassicMovies.com
-Last Summer
-The Friends of Eddie Coyle
-Wild Rovers
-92 in the Shade
-Dusty and Sweets McGee

Looks like you're in luck Oliver-50. Under the Volcano is being released by Criterion in October!
Another movie I'd like to see released on dvd is Nightmare(1981) aka The Nightmare in a Damaged Brain. Not sure Criterion would touch that one.
code red is releasing nightmare actually very soon along with another video nasty "human experiments" :D finally out on dvd uncut (hopfully haha)
shareThe Farmer (another one from Code Red), Wake in Fright, Rolling Thunder, The Devils directed by Ken Russell (official release), El Condor.
shareYes totally agree about Ken Russell's "The Devil's" - absolute tragedy - an amazing film - I only have the UK theatrical release on Video - about 1 and a half minutes cut - desparately need a decent DVD release.
The Farmer is a movie that appears to not even exist anymore anywhere !!!!
I have tried to find it for years.
If you can, hook a brother up !!!
Another unfathomable DVD no show: WHEN YOU COMIN BACK RED RYDER?
Check out The Farmer message board on IMDB. It's coming!
shareWHEN YOU COMIN BACK RED RYDER with Marjoe Gortner is available at joesclassicmovies.com. I recently purchased a lost favorite "W.C.Fields and Me" and I saw Red Ryder available on their site. Check it out.
shareJust letting you know that Wake in fright has been released, at least in Australia.

shareTHE FABULOUS STAINS!!! I have a bootleg copy I hate.

At least Cook & Moore's Bedazzled finally came out this year! :) I'm also thrilled to see Michael Palin's incredible travelogues out this year, well-packaged and looking gorgeous.
(PS, I'm talking about USA/Region 1 releases)
Fun thread!

The 1986 Australian film "Bliss." It's excellent. I had to by an Australian DVD, and hack my player to make it region free. I'll also second the nomination of Ken Russell's "The Devils."
There have been a few recent releases of things that should have been released long ago, "Performance," with Mick Jagger, and Jodorosky's "El Topo."
another bunch from the 70's are missing. MANDINGO, LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR,TEN RILLINGTON PLACE, THE MUSIC LOVERS,ZABRISKIE POINT,TRISTANA, THE SICILIAN CLAN. SO MUCH GARBAGE IS RELEASED BUT LOTS OF OLDIES ARE TOTALLY IGNORED. ESPECIALLY FROM PARAMOUNT HOME VIDEO.
shareMandingo is on DVD.
James Mason using slave boys as foot stools - classic
I forgot to mention MTV's "The State".
Some episodes are available for download through iTunes but the music has been completely changed. :(

I maintain a listmania list at amazon on this topic. My list is restricted to films I want released on DVD Region 1, so some of these are available in other regions. And some of these are guilty pleasures and personal faves that might not really be considered classics but hey, it's my list, right? :)

the decline of western civilization
dr. black and mr. hyde

A couple big ones that recently got released, finally: whose life is it anyway, straight time, sweet movie, reds.
A lot of strange things happen in this world. Things you don't know about in Grand Rapids.
Night On Earth will be out tomorrow.
shareReally? Awesome! I love knocking flicks off that list.
A lot of strange things happen in this world. Things you don't know about in Grand Rapids.
Yup, Night on Earth is out now. :)
So is Performance. :) :)
Big Time isn't out??? That's mad.
I also agree that Gizmo! needs to be on dvd.
I'd also like to add - those Subgenius VHS releases, all that cool video collage. (There is a Subgenius dvd, but it's mostly lame '90s digital animations and such.)
O Lucky Man is coming soon!!!!! Joy.
Also - as an American who digs British tv - I am dying for Jam, The Day Today, Stuff, Smack The Pony, The Fast Show, The Comic Strip Presents, Kevin Turvey, and more...but at least we got Big Train, Nighty Night, Alan Partridge, The New Statesman, and Fry & Laurie! Also, a BIG pet peeve of mine was that AbFab's last special "White Box" was never released, and it is coming out this October.
Huzzah! It's fun to live in the future.

It's been a bitch for Orson Welles, eh?
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
Simply awesome. I found out about a week ago that Blade Runner was getting its long awaited Special Edition DVDs, but now Kubrick's films are getting Special Editions along and O Lucky Man is going to be released too! This is a good year.
shareHellzapoppin' (one of the funniest comedies ever), Shoot the Moon (the best performances both Diane Keaton and Albert Finney have given so far), Far From Vietnam, and one of Ingmar Bergman's most underrated films The Touch (One of only two he filmed in English--and the better of the two--with Eliott Gould, Max von Sydow and Bibi Anderson, the latter two in their final roles for Bergman.)
shareJust saw that O Lucky Man! is coming out on a 2-disk DVD on Oct. 23, 2007.
