A good widescreen version of The Jerk with a good commentary. I would be interested in hearing what Steve Martin had to say about it now.

A nice version of Grand Prix. They need to get James Garner, Jackie Stewart, and maybe one of the current F-1 drivers, to do a commentary and maybe one have another one with some of the surviving production people. They need to do this before all these people are gone. The movie has some the most beautiful shots of late ‘60s F-1 cars and circuits. I want it.

Good news! Apparently, it's in the works, along with THE STING: SE and THE BIG LEBOWSKI: SE.

Bad news! All three titles are from Universal. So I wouldn't be surprised if the new transfers get screwed up or the extras are completely vapid.

What's wrong with the current one? I mean, it's no multi-disc LOTR or ALIEN QUAD but I would consider it "good." "Excellent?" No. "Good?" Sure.

To me, the sound mix feels A: very flat and B: has rerecorded elements, which I'm not a fan of (MGM take note!). Plus the two-hour LD documentary edited down to about forty-five minutes. I'd say it's average with a great transfer.

Delicatessan would be great. Also, Lelouch's version of Les Miserables.

Santa Sangre for sure. And I'd love for Holy Mountain and El Topo to be available, just so I can finally see the damn things.

If you're multi-region Dave, there's a UK SE of SANTA SANGRE available. I have it, but haven't given it a spin yet.

Thanks! I just checked out amazon UK, and it looks like a nice package, too. I think there might be a way to make my DVD player region free, but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. When I do and if it works, Santa Sangre will definitely be a purchase.

Neither am I. But the re-recorded effects in JAWS don't bother me nearly as much as the ones in the SUPERMAN or STAR WARS TRILOGY remixes.

Actually, 59 minutes, 26 seconds. I've got the 2-hour-plus version on LD, and it's very good. But it's not that monumentally great to be so concerned about the DVD cut-down. It's more like "great by association." It's kind of hard to screw up a documentary on a film as wonderful as JAWS. And back in the LD era when "making-ofs" still had the gee-whiz factor, it might have been worth the fuss. Now? Not so much. Considering how safe and reverential all of Spielberg's documentaries are, I think an hour of fawning is plenty.

I was kinda shocked to see that the E! True Hollywood Story on JAWS contained a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews (including the late Robert Shaw in costume as Quint!), much of which was nowhere to be seen in either the DVD or LD docos.

Fair enough. I can agree with that. I just think there are PLENTY worse releases from Universal that could use some luvin'.

Oh I definitely agree about that, I just think for such a prestige title, JAWS just deserves a bit more loving. Especially since we got three-disc sets of VAN HELSING (although I think one of those discs contained the Whale/Browning fllicks).

But it should matter. I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week. Keep in mind, many documentaries are edited down from literally hundreds of hours of footage. Do you feel cheated that they don't release ALL of that raw material? Do you really want to sit through all of that shit?

On second thought, don't answer that. I know what you'll say!

Kicking and Screaming - Noah Baumbach's debut film, not the upcoming Will Ferrell soccer movie. I love this movie and would buy it on VHS, but I don't even have a VCR in my living room anymore.

I've also got to agree with everyone who mentioned the animted The Tick.

There's one show that I loved as a kid that I would probably buy just for nostalgia sake.

The Greatest American Hero

Hell, I'd settle to have it in syndication on tv at 3 in the morning...
But a dvd set would be pretty cool...

I third the love for The Maxx. I wish I still had my comics, as I never finished my collection as they took seventeen million years in between each comic!

As for the Trigun box set, I've had mine for about three years now and you can find it at Amazon and Best Buy.

I would also like to have a good release (SE anybody?) of Four Rooms. The bare bones disc they have out now just gets no love from me.

Isn't there a re-release of Ghostbusters due to some anniversary?

I wouldn't mind having some of the lesser known Westerns like Death Rides a Horse and "A Gun for Ringo" in Widescreen....and again...Fistful of Dynamite...anything that's Leone and not in Widescreen special Edition right now ought to be.........dammit.

i second another Jaws DVD, I rmember thinking the disc was lacking when I viewed it.

"Young Indiana Jones (whenever you get around to it, Lucas"
I understand Young Indy is in the works, though no release date has been given.

I Second Captain Blood. With the huge Pirate craze created by "Pirates Of The Carribean", I am amazed the archtypical Pirate film did not see DVD release.
On the other hand, Warner's has been doing a great job with it classic Film Special Editions, and when "Blood" does come out it will probably be loaded with extras.

Yando, Thanks for secondening my "El Cid" entry. And I agree with every movie you list should have been on DVD a long time ago.
BTW the David Lean pack was delayed, not cancelled.
"Far From The Maddening Crowd" is another favorite of mine that should be on DVD.

(Bundle a better version of The Magic Christian together with the book that it was based on. Similar to what Columbia Tristar has done with "Tess" and what Criterion did with "Short Cuts".)
