“All That Jazz”. This is my all-time favorite movie, and to the best of my knowledge, has never been released on DVD. It just kills me knowing that.

“1776”  
“Man of La Mancha”

The entire first season of the FOX series, **Family Guy**. I heard through the grapevine that it was released in the UK. Anyone got the skinny on this? I know I wouldn’t be able to watch it since it’d be R2 encoded, but if it was released there, there’s a good chance it’d be released here (in the U.S.).

Also, there’s this one Rutger Hauer movie called **Split Second** that I just absolutely love. It’s your typical mindless action movie, but I don’t know, this one in particular, it just gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling.

It’s of the same ilk in that the 3 boxes I want have been release for region 2 already, but I really really REALLY want the box sets of Stargate SG-1 for seasons 2, 3, and 4. How dare they assume that because I’m from the States I wouldn’t want anything but the first season! Bah! 🙂

I can’t believe we’re talking cartoons and nobody has mentioned **Ren and Stimpy**! It scares me to think how much I would be willing to pay for a DVD set with every episode.

There are some episodes of “Get a Life” out on DVD, not the whole series though. I believe they’re put out by Rhino. I know they have the “Spewey” episode and the “Handsome Boy Modeling School” episodes.

_Twin Peaks_ episodes 1-7 will be out in a few weeks. Due to legal wranglings, however, the pilot will not be in the set. The pilot is available in a Region 0 DVD available in Hong Kong. Check out Ebay.

I also read in a recent that David Lynch is releasing **Fire Walk With Me** on DVD with deleted scenes. Mostly because he had some stuff with Jack Nance that he really wanted out there. Should be good, considering what a fanatic Lynch is about sound. “Judy”, anybody?
