Sufferin’ succotash!

[_Gaslight_](http://us.imdb.com/Details?0036855) is not out on DVD, according to IMDb!

That is a wrong which _must_ be righted!

Oh boy, I can’t wait for TP: FWWM!! That is one of the most disturbing films I’ve ever seen, I think. The end of that movie… oh geez.

The only thing that scares me more than the Silent Hill video game is to watch the lst two episodes of Twin Peaks late at night and then pop in the movie. Utterly disturbing…

Region 0 means nothing to me, I have absolutely no grasp of Region encoding on DVDs. Are region 0 playable everywhere?

More Bruce Lee stuff - e.g. “The Green Hornet.”

I would guess so, based on [this info](http://us.imdb.com/Sections/DVDs/Regions/).

You can indicate an interest at [Amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JKTY/qid%3D1006364136/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F0%5F1/102-0285217-1597735)

Got them on VHS first - with whats-her-face (70s actress) and the dopey kids in the interstitials…

Laserdisc was better - but I’m rooting for the DVD too!

YES! Someone else who remembers!

In the Closet I have a dubbed cassette of the soundtrack… some kind soul from USENET (yes, that’s all we had back then!) made a copy of the German release for me…

I don’t think the soundtrack ever got released here ☹

“I could write a book about  
The way you act and look…  
But I haven’t got a paragraph.  
Words are always getting in the way  
Anyway, I love you  
That’s all I have to tell you  
That’s all I have to say…”

Thanks **Politzania**!

Now I just have to convince all my friends (both of them!) to help create an undeniable desire for the DVD. Forget Save the Whales. It’s Schoolhouse Rock on DVD for me!

**Dragon Ball Z** complete series set, uncut and original Japanese audio. Of course, since it’s over 290 episodes, there’s no chance in Hell.

US version of Japanese **Gundam Wing** five volume set.

More anime series released as sets instead of individual discs. ( **Evangelion** , **Sailor Moon** , etc…)

That’s really all I can think of for now.

**The Family Guy** - complete series, please.  
**Kiss of Death** - remake featuring Sam Jackson and Nick Cage  
**Trust** - my favorite Hal Hartley film  
**Fall** - by Eric Schaffer - my VHS copy is getting worn out from lending it to women I know.  
**Pearl Jam Unplugged** - just to have that version of “porch” in all its digital glory.  
**Show, by the cure** - great concert  
**Dennis Miller Live** - all the rants and news segments, at least.

Erm, **Buffy: Season 1** has been out here in the states for a while.

Two movies that need to be on DVD:

**Beauty and the Beast** , 1991. I think it is to be released this October but I might be wrong.

**Yankee Doodle Dandy** , 1941. Please!

And a current DVD that desparately needs reworking:

**Titanic**.

**Mr. Show** comes out June 11. Amazon is taking pre-orders now.

I want the Tim Burton classic **Ed Wood** on DVD, just because that is a cool movie.

Of course, **Star Wars** would be nice, but I don’t think it will ever happen.

I’m probably alone in this, but I’d really like to see a special edition _Monster Squad_ DVD, including the unreleased scenes featuring Dustin “Screech” Diamond and Jaleel “Urkel” White (mentioned in [this Onion interview](http://avclub.theonion.com/avclub3803/avfeature_3803.html)).

Better then that (or maybe you meant this) All the WB looney tunes and Merry Melodie collection in delux boxed set uncut and un rated. (the banned ones can be hidden features so the young ones don’t accidentally watch them).
