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.
Season 2 of: My World and Welcome To It (series from the '60s based on James Thurber’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) Bakersfield P.D. (Giancarlo Esposito police sitcom)
Better Off Ted
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.
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.
