[_Brain Donors_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103872/) I remember seeing this years ago as a kid. Not sure I really got into it then, but hearing others talk about it , it definitely sounds like something worth seeing. ---

[The Keep](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085780/) I’ve been after this for ages, and you can only get it on NTSC VHS from the USA I see Fist of the Northstar is finally coming out as a boxset over here after Mangas distributon company went bust a few months ago. I been waiting for that for fuck knows how long. I wish they’d hurry up with the staggered Studio Ghibli DVDs here too. I waited 15 _years_ for Laputa to finally come out. ---

It’s been mentioned over and over again but why isn’t **The Tick** , the animated series on DVD? There’s not that many episodes and it’s got a _huge_ cultish following so it woudl do very well. Anyone know if there are any sort of legal hang-ups? ---

All of these are TV series not movies but I would love to see _Voyagers!_, _Misfits of Science_, _Max Headroom_, and _Wizards and Warriors_ on DVD. My tapes of the original _Max Headroom_ movie and the first four episodes of _Wizards and Warriors_ are not holding up well at all after all these years ☹ ---

**Some Came Running** , which is certain to appear on DVD eventually since it stars Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine. Lily Tomlin’s **Incredible Shrinking Woman**. The sketch comedy series **The State** , which is supposedly in the works. And, on the subject of TV series, I’d buy DVDs of **Rat Patrol** , **Herman’s Head** and Gerry Anderson’s **Four Feather Falls**. ---

My Beloved just shouted from the bedroom that she’d love to see the old '60’s series [The Champions](http://www.epguides.com/Champions/) . She just _looooves_ Stuart Damon. 😃 ---

I’m actually surprised at how many rare movies _are_ on DVD, considering how new the format is. Plus, new titles get released every week – just in the last six months, we’ve seen (or will soon see): _After Hours, Duel, My Father’s Glory, Star Wars_ (well, sorta), _D.A.R.Y.L., Ed Wood, Short Cuts_, and _Testament_. Hopefully we’ll soon see these as well: _Au Revoir, Les Enfants The Butcher Boy The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years Duckman_ (TV series) _The Earthling Eddie Murphy: Delirious Emergency!_ (TV series) _Erik the Viking Iceman The Late Shift Lost Angels Lost Highway Mastergate My Own Private Idaho North The Other Police Squad!_ (TV series) _Rona Jaffe’s Mazes and Monsters Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead Second Best Student Bodies Twilight Zone: The Movie Whore_ ---

**Police Squad!** And sympathy votes for the **Dungeons & Dragons** cartoon and **Brain Donors.** I have the latter on VHS, but would donate one of your organs for an anamorphic DVD. 😃 ---

TV Shows: _Sam & Max: Freelance Police_ HBO’s _Real Sex_ and _Shock Video_ _Cow and Chicken_ and _I Am Weasel_ Greg the Bunny’s coming out? Out-freakin’-standing. I loved that show. Movies: _200 Motels_ and _Uncle Meat_. Sure, we got _Baby Snakes_ and _Does Humor Belong In Music?_, but what the hell’s keeping those two from DVD? I’ll second _Delicatessen_, too. Excellent movie. ---

> [@Meatros](#): > > Not a movie, and certainly dweebish, but I’d buy copies of the old Dungeons and Dragons cartoons if they put them on DVD. Saw the dvd the other day in HMV and took me back a ways 😛 Must admit I’m tempted meself for the nostalgia effect. In any case, the whole series is coming out in the UK on the 18th… [DVD](http://www1.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1&sku=324038) ---

The entire Ulysses 31 series just came out on DVD too, for all you 80s cartoon heads. £17.99 on Play I’d pay good money for the entire set of Mysterious Cities of Gold, although theres about 150 episodes ‘children offffff the sun, see your time has just begun…’ ---

Yeah, I bremember Ullyses, and Telema… telemach… telemasomthing, his son I think. And don’t forget the entire set of “Battle of the Planets” is out too. On a side note that “Keep” rings a bell for me. Is it THE Michael Mann that directed it? ---

> [@](#): > > On a side note that “Keep” rings a bell for me. Is it THE Michael Mann that directed it? Yep. There’s also Thief he directed, with James Caan in it thats really good too. Put that, The Keep and Heat in a Mann boxset and i’m sold! ---

The rest of Lindsay Anderson’s “Mick Travis Trilogy”. What’s odd is they have **Britannia Hospital** out on DVD but not **if…** or **O Lucky Man**. Although I’ve heard that they’re planning on a release for **if…** , I haven’t heard anything about OLM.
