I apologize for continuing to add to my list but, assuming they also have books (or e-books), see if you can find Watson’s “The Giant Rat of Sumatra” either standalone or in an anthology. Also “Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen” by S. Holmes. ---

A copy of those Tom Chapin “Make a Wish” DVDs from morning TV back in the 70s. I’ll never understand why ABC held out so long on releasing those. Thanks man! ---

If it’s not too much trouble going next door to the ‘classics’ shop. What about picking up Shakespeare’s ‘Cardenio’ in full? Or his rumored ‘History of Robin Hood’? Those would look good on the shelf in my office. Or maybe these: The Gospel of Eve has been lost for more than 1500 years. That sounds like a winner. The balance of the Epic Cycle that gave us the Iliad and the Odyssey? ‘The Book of the Wars of the Lord’? It chronicled badass Jews in biblical times. There’s always room for that, right? If you’re willing to hit the ‘far universe’ DVD aisle, too, I’d appreciate you picking up the series of Heinlein movies made in the 1970s with RAH as Executive Producer. Have Space Suit Will Travel, The Rolling Stones, Time for the Stars, and the rest translated well to the big screen and I’d like to have them to show the kids. ---

Can you pick me up a Blueray edition of Joss Whedons’ **Wonder Woman** movie? And how about a copy of Tom Baker’s [Doctor Who meets Scratchman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_Meets_Scratchman#Doctor_Who_Meets_Scratchman) staring Baker as the Doctor and Vincent Price as the Devil a.k.a. Scratchman? And Peter Jackson’s two-film version of **the Hobbit** would be nice. ---

How about seasons 2-5 of **Freaks and Geeks**? I don’t need the rest of it, that university season was a bore. Also, If you could pick up the awesome 12-hour mini-series version of **The Moon is a Harsh Mistress** that never happened in this fiction? That would be great. One more thing: I want the rest of the Dirk Gently books. There were going to be so many. ---

I think there were 3 or 4 but I only saw the first. Add these to my list too. Particularly _Now and Again_, because of the cliffhanger that ended the first season. And that reminds me, I’d also like the final _Pretender_ movie(s), so I can find out the real story behind Jarod and Miss Parker. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > I’d like the Alternate Universe Bablylon 5 that went the full five seasons under the original plan. Right now I’m rewatching season 4 and I’d like to see how it went if the final war against the Shadows and Vorlons went an entire season and not just six episodes. Send me a copy as well. I’d also like the five-part finale to _The X-Files_, in the universe in which they decided to end the show after six seasons with a coherent explanation of all the alien stuff. ---

A copy of Lon Chaney’s vampire epic, **London After Midnight**. I don’t care if it’s not GREAT – I just want to see it. The version of **I, Robot** made from Harlan Ellison’s script, with that great CGI effects work. The Charles Laughton version of **I, Claudius** And a copy of **Humor Risk**. even if it’s totally atypical, showing the Marx Brothers not in their usual character, you could say the same thing about _The Story of Mankind_, and we have that one for viewing. How is _that_ fair? ---

The one thing that I’ve had on my Amazon Wish List is that epic 12-movie series of Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” starring a pre-Man With No Name Clint Eastwood as Roland Deschain, Bud Cort as Jake, Gina Torres as Susannah and Christian Bale as Eddie. Please make sure it’s the Extended Edition that completely rewrites all that “Song of Susanna” nonsense.
