Greatest non-DVD movie

In my humble opinion, this is the best movie I know that hasn't yet been released on DVD. In fact, "Paper Boy" is the only reason my VCR is still hooked up, because I still watch my taping from tv. With commercials, sigh.....

This film is a classic. Marc Marut gives a stunning performance, and the supporting characters are excellent. Even the minor characters (like Karyn Dwyer) act much better than you would expect in a low budget film.

So who do we write to, or threaten, to make an official DVD of this wonderful film before it's forgotten?

It is available on DVD in Australia.

Thanks for the information. Since making my post last year I found out it had already been released in Greece, and I managed to order a copy. With great difficulty. Can you imagine how tough it is navigating a Greek web site? Look at http://www.greekbooks.gr if you don't believe me. But I got it in the end.

It looks like England, America and Canada are the last countries to appreciate this fantastic film.

Sorry if this seems late, but Republic has the home video rights as they released it on video during back in 1994.

In the meantime, you can get a DVD-R copy here:
