Well THAT was stoopit: I cut and pasted “Emperor of the North” into the “Title” box by mistake, then hit “return,” and posted that incomplete list accidentally.
Anyway, to continue:

–and that’s all I have time to think of right now.
1492: Conquest of Paradise
Island of Lost Souls (what is the law?)
Intruders (TV movie from the 90’s about alien abductions that was quite creepy for a TV flick)
Well, 2 are Japanese, 1 Greek, 2 Polish, 1 Indian, 1 Mexican, 2 French, 1 Russian, 1 Danish, 1 Italian, 1 German and 3 silent (including 2 more French).
Of the American films, one’s a four-hour documentary, two are William Faulkner adaptations, one’s a Randolph Scott western, one’s a seminal work in black cinema, one has perhaps Bernard Herrmann’s best score, and two are among the greatest love stories ever put on screen.
And if they were on DVD, I’d tell you to put them on your NetFlix queue ASAP (though some are still available on VHS). Here’s hoping…
I second that. But I was unable to find that on VHS when I checked extensively years ago, so it may be a long wait.
Ditto. I’ve been checking for this frequently.
And speaking of ducks, I bought a copy of The Duck Factory, an early Jim Carrey TV show, thru Amazon’s used dealers and it (VHS) arrived blank. I got my money back, but I would have preferred the video.
Duck Factory used to air on Comedy Central back in the early days of the channel. Jim Carrey is the straight man. The only fun thing is seeing voice actors on screen. “Ohhhh so that’s what that guy looked like.”
Becket, the story of King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) and his wenching partner-turned-Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas a Becket (Richard Burton). With John Gielgud as the French King Louis VII.
