Author Topic: Movies You Wish Were On DVD (Read 36569 times)

Any old movies you want to be seen in DVD format ? Its like the Most Requested DVDs or Top Customer's Request at Amazon.com . Either you like the story or something else(like it brings back fond old memories of the good old days). This also includes your favorite movies(story wise or special effects) not yet on DVD format. My partial list(seventies and eighties):

Worth Winning (Madeleine Stowe/Mark Harmon)
Vital Signs (Diane Lane)
Gross Anatomy (Matthew Modine)
One on One (Robby Benson)
The Robe
Omega Man (Charlton Heston) - coming soon
The Natural (Robert Redford) - coming soon
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (animated)

And 17 out of the 20 Most Requested DVDs at Amazon.com

You can add The Godfather Trilogy to that list.

I also want a re-release of Pulp Fiction & The Usual Suspects with more features this time.

Hey Dobler! ET is indeed coming to DVD! They've adjusted some of the effects daw, ala Star Wars for a new Theatrical Release and DVD.

dobler · « **Reply #5 on:** Apr 04, 2001 at 10:36 PM »

Yeah, I read about Spielberg's plan to add new footage and effect shots. Rumor has it that Harrison Ford does a cameo as Eliot's principal. But the DVD release is still a long way off, sometime in 2002.

benny · « **Reply #6 on:** Apr 05, 2001 at 12:38 AM »

Godfather, Torch Song Trilogy, Maurice, Funny Girl and Yentl (Would even settle for a VCD for that one but there seems to be none.)

EBTGmike · « **Reply #7 on:** Apr 05, 2001 at 09:33 AM »

Komikero, yes shogun TV mini-series would be nice. Also the following (from TV):

Hill Street Blues
Roots
Greatest American Hero
Welcome Back Kotter
Happy Days
Danguard Ace (this one, for me, is one of the more mature Robot Animation at that time with a more serious storyline)

EBTGMike? Are you the same person from the Lotus Eaters Mailing List?

blackbird · « **Reply #9 on:** Apr 10, 2001 at 11:12 PM »

The Seventh Seal (not the Demi Moore Film)
The Red Shoes
Scorpio Nights.
La Reine Margot (Queen Margot)
Tous les Matins du Monde (All The Mornings of the World)

Komikero · « **Reply #10 on:** Apr 10, 2001 at 11:32 PM »

I'd like to add "THE MISSION" with Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons. Unfortunately, I received an email from Amazon saying that there are no plans to release this disc anytime in the near future.

EBTGmike · « **Reply #11 on:** Apr 11, 2001 at 04:10 AM »

Blackbird, I think the Seventh Seal and Red Shoes are already released.

Phlong, I do collect and sell rare new wave music, not sure about Lotus Eaters mailing list, what's their website address ? Thanks.

phlong · « **Reply #12 on:** Apr 11, 2001 at 08:54 AM »

EBTGmike Must have gotten confused along the way...

Here is their website. Its now static
because the webmaster had some problems
accessing the page for update:
http://lotuseaters.freeweb.org

http://lotuseaters.somewhere.net

Back to the DVD...
Like everyone else Lucas' Trilogy and its prequels.

The Godfather series.

phlong and the rest of us star wars fan

i've seen the star wars trilogy dvd box set (pirate copies) go to an average of $150
they are selling them in malaysia for around $70 online and about $40 street price

i heard that they have a very good picture and sound quality, and where mastered from the old laserdisk box set w/ d.d5.1

i still have my laserdisk copies so i think i can still wait till 2006

I would kill to get my hands on The Godfather Trilogy. It's one of my most anticipated DVD releases in the future. Also, I'd like to have the Back To The Future Trilogy.

MultipleAngles · « **Reply #15 on:** Apr 12, 2001 at 11:07 AM »

Star Wars Trilogy
Godfather Trilogy
A lot of TV series (cartoons especially)
Lion King (I had to satiate myself with the Tarzan copycat. Failed)

I read in Entertainment Weekly that the Godfather Trilogy is finally coming out before the year ends - probably around Christmas.

firewired · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 15, 2001 at 01:49 AM »

Winnie the Pooh would be my pick. I still enjoy my dog-eared VHS copy up to now. I bought The Tigger Movie to see what all the fuss was about. Overall, great animation and a fairly entertaining storyline, but it still doesn't measure up to the original film.

I'm also waiting for Buckaroo Banzai which became a sci-fi cult classic in the eighties. It's been out-of-print forever - even on video tape.

I would've listed The Six Million Dollar Man but it came out in the UK last week. That's the last thing I ordered before flying off to Cebu!

Is there an official release of Indiana Jones Trilogy on DVDs? I'm really gonna buy it for collection if I saw one.

None yet. And no official announcements as of now, though there are rumors ...

Final Countdown (martin sheen)
Classic 2-hour episodes of Star Trek:The Next Generation
Longest Hundred Miles (US war movie with pinoy actors)

Komikero · « **Reply #21 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 09:52 PM »

Damn, I wish they'd do a box set of those Star Trek Next Generation seasons instead of that 2 eps per DVD thing they're doing with the Original Series.

Thats why I have to make do with VHS purchases of ST:TNG episodes from amazon.

And they could have included more features and add ons on the ST:OS dvds. Putting in trailers are not enough. Should have included trivia and/or background - behind the scene info on the episodes plus info/trivia on the cast and s.
Its a waste of DVD space

viper · « **Reply #23 on:** Apr 18, 2001 at 10:26 PM »

Oops, a smiley appeared where it is not suppose to appear. The item should read ST:OS

Hey lazy_maze!

I want The Mission on DVD too!! I signed up at Amazon's site to be informed once the title is about to be released. Unfortunately, I got an email not too long ago from them, essentially telling me that a DVD version of it is unlikely to appear in the near future. Oh well. I think we'll get there eventually.

And to add to my list, I want to see Lost Horizon (the 70's musical version) on DVD! What can I say? I like it.
