THE DEVILS

SHOOT THE MOON

Both should get the Criterion treatment.

Your avatar reminded me, B12B....what the hell ever happened to John Huston's film FREUD starring Mr. Clift? Not to mention WILD RIVER.

It's funny how downright greed can move some people. After love4cheno posted that THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO was out of print I decided to do a search to see how much it would cost me if I decided to purchase a copy.

It's available from 8 sellers over at amazon.com. The lowest price is: $134.95, the highest: $314.95!! Unbelievable!

As far as TV goes, "Alice" is still not on DVD! UGHHHH! Alice isn't on DVD and junk like "The Hills" and "Laguna Beach" are-oh, how unfair!

Supply and demand D_A. People all buy those Disney flicks that go in "the vaults" and sell them at riddiculous prices when they go off sale.

B12B- thank you so much for that link! I can't wait for this set.

DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE

THE GROUP

And the PBS American Playhouse productions. I'd kill for a DVD of BLUE WINDOW. I still have my raggedy video. The original cast, the exquisitely directed, semi-literal/semi-theatrical approach. Randy Danson, brilliant in the lead. And sadly, two actors no longer with us. Anyone else have it on tape, still?

Robert Altman's STREAMERS has also been MIA for at least 15 years.

They have been threatening to put SQUARE PEGS out on DVD for years, now.

Magdalene --- Batman (the live TV series) from the '60s is not available on DVD. It's tied up in a battle for the rights between Fox, Warner Bros., DC Comics, etc. The dispute hasn't been settled and even though it's one of the most highly requested titles on DVD, there is no sign of budging at this point.
