I just watched **Creature from the Black Lagoon** and it made me want to see **The Incredible Shrinking Man** from the same director. Unfortunalty, ISM isn’t available on DVD as far as I can tel. What others would you like to see “updated” to DVD? And what special features would you like to see added? ---

1944’s [Cobra Woman](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036716/). And a made-for-TV version of Frankenstein that was made in the 70s. I don’t know the title or the actors, director, or producer, but I remember thinking it was pretty neat. It had a bride of Frankenstein that wore a black choker around her neck to hide the scar where her head was sewn on. Man, would I like to see that movie again. [You Never Can Tell](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044223/), an old black and white about a police dog who is reincarnated as a middle-aged private detective, and his girl friday who used to be a racehorse. ---
