Anchors Aweigh, On the Town, and Take Me Out to the Ball Gameare available on DVD! Not a lot of extras (just trailers and a couple of deleted songs from TMOTTBG), but its better than nothing.
Since it looks like Turner is releasing their MGM library on DVD, I’d like to see Ninotchka and Kiss Me Kate on disc.
Oh, and second (or third) the Astaire/Rogers movies (a box set would be nice), the Indiana Jones movies and Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Please go into detail. IF you do have it, it isn’t a legal copy (not that I care or anything). How is the quality, and what version of the movies do you have?
I second Miller’s Crossing. I’m a huge Coen Bros. fan, but I have yet to see this flick. I don’t have a VCR anymore, so I’m anxiously awaiting the release of the DVD…I’m on the amazon.com mailing list for notification of when it becomes available. Unfortunately, there’s no projected date that I know of.
Very funny TV movie from 1989. Starred Corin Nemec (“Parker Lewis”), Brent Spiner, and Eddie Murphy. Directed by Thomas Schlamme WAY before “The West Wing” made him famous.
Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of it; no one has. And there’s no way it will ever be on DVD…or VHS.
But Holy Crap, it was funny. “Free James Brown, Free James Brown! Get on your horse!”
Well, so does my brother-in-lae, but that doesn’t mean that it was authorized by Lucas or Fox in any way. Actually, despite being a bootleg, the quality is good, which means it was probably made from the laser-disk versions.
“Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life”.”
This is available on DVD. I have seen it myself.
I also would like US releases of some of the Studio Ghibli animated films especially Takahata’s Only Yesterday and Miyazaki’s Nausicaa. The first is a real long shot but the second is possible since Miyazaki is getting a lot of exposure with Spirited Away.
Ken Branagh’s Hamlet. (Though this one may surface eventually… Amazon has a poll page for it.)
Miracle Mile
Closet Land
Most of the other movies that weren’t available on DVD when I first purchased my player, such as Heavenly Creatures or Watership Down, have since been made available.
