DVD?


Anyone know if or when a dvd would be made of this? This is one of my favorite little films because of the emotion and sincerity of the leads. A very nice story.

I don't believe it's available on DVD yet. I lent my VHS tape out to a couple of friends, and I got it back messed up. Since it wasn't available on DVD, I purchased it again on video tape. This is just the kind of film you can watch a couple of times a year. Bound to end up as a classic.

I hope when they finally release it on DVD, they put some extra bonus scenes, and add some commentary with the actors. Wouldn't that be cool?

You'd think with Marcia Gay Harden being an Academy Award winner now (since Pollock), the company that holds the rights would try to capitalize on it. Although not an A-list actor, Peter Berg (who's also a director)is not exactly nobody either.

With that said, I've been waiting for forever and a day for this to see a release on dvd.

I'll join the chorus of folks hungry for a DVD of "Late for Dinner." The film boasts excellent performances and a sentimental -- but not sappy -- plot.

I just watched it again after seeing it a decade ago, and it holds up well. It's no surprise that Marcia Gay Harden would later win an Oscar. I only wish she had reunited with Brian Wimmer earlier in the film.

It would be great to see some deleted scenes or a "making of" documentary as well.

I remember watching this movie years ago with my Mom and we both loved it. Since then I had forgotten the name of it and so I could never find it...then suddenly while watching an interview with Peter Berg about Friday Night Lights I remembered that he was in this movie and so I came to IMDB to look it up and low and behold I found it...unfortunately it's not available on DVD...so here's my vote for it to be put on DVD! I am looking forward to seeing this movie again...please release it on DVD soon!

reply

I don't have that option at this time so let me add my voice to the chorus: Let's get this movie on DVD, and soon!

reply

Ive been looking for this movie on anything since it came out in the theaters. I have never found it to this day! I want to see it really bad! I love peter burg. can anyone tell me where they find it even on vhs?

reply

Not officially available on DVD yet (I'm still waiting!), but you can get a "used" copy from Amazon.com -- check with EBay, too!

reply

Here are two more votes for this excellent film to be released on DVD!!!!

reply

Try Amazon. I've seen it from anywhere in the vicinity of $5 up to $25.

reply

Add me to the list of people waiting for this excellent film to find its way to dvd. The final scene in the movie is worth the price of admission alone. "I Love You for Sentimental Reasons", "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered..." Those songs really tugged at my heart in the film. Great, great movie!

reply

add me to the list

reply

And another ...

Great film.

reply

Yes, I have been checking off and on for years. Does anyone know what studio put it out? We should all email them...

reply

You never know, MGM has released some $9.99 bare bones in the past. I mean, if they could release the retched "Blame It On Rio" anything is possible. P.S. speaking of "Rio" it was in the sale bin at Circuit City with the sticker "For Dad On Father's Day"! I almost pissed myself. Anyone who knows what that movie is about will know what I mean.

Back to LFD. Like most I got sick of crappy VHS copies and invested in Laserdiscs. This was one of the titles I searched for and finally got. Laserdisc was the blue ray of the 80's (to coin Wikipedia) and this movie is as clean as analog can be.

If you read any of my past posts you will see me crapping about studios and their Lackadaisical treatment of movies on DVD. Not that they listen to me but it seems they're getting it together little by little. Go to DVDBeaver for updates on older films being put on DVD.

Anyway, keep the faith, be patient and get a DVD recorder and a SIMI video booster to transfer those old tapes to DVD in the meantime.

reply

Well, it's mid 2009 and still no Late for Dinner DVD.

My ancient VHS copy is not faring well, as my viewing of LFD tonight demonstrated. This movie needs to be on DVD, so we all can watch it when we just need to see a simple film with a good character driven story.

reply

Lucky 13, did you find a dvd copy yet? I did manage to copy mine in good shape from vhs to dvd. let me if you are interested.

This is now on Amazon for release on 12/31/09 with MGM's new VOD service

reply

It's on OnDemand on Amazon, and so are DVDs

"Stalker?"
"Yup, bigtime"

reply

Great movie, but yet ANOTHER *beep* full-frame DVD from MGM.

I would love to get a hold of the guy who makes this decision and cut his arms off, and see if anyone notices.

Thanks!

Amazon states that this is available as a DVD-R, which is the full screen pan and scan, therefore not widescreen. As much as I would like to have this on DVD, I have it on VHS and will wait until they release in a high quality widescreen version to buy it.

reply

Its on itunes in widescreen... but if you wait, MGM-HD might show it again in full HD widescreen and you could record it..

great movie and has been released on dvd ... here's amazon link ...
