Me, it’d be a compilation of dances from So You Think You Can Dance. I love watching the performances and I would snatch up the dvd if I had the chance. I’ve been finding bits in pieces on youtube but I’d rather have it all in one place. ---

> [@PSXer](#): > > Song of the South > > why won’t Disney let us have its embarrassing racist secrets That is on DVD. I got it as a gag gift ( long story) a year or so ago. ---

I’d buy any of these in a heartbeat if they were ever released on DVD: [Mystery Magical Special](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251886/) [All Souls](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280229/) [Radio Inside](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110936/) [Freakylinks](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247095/) [Pasadena](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280287/) [Veritas The Quest](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324431/) ---

The last three seasons of The Nanny. A complete (_complete_) music video collection from Madonna, Kate Bush, Prince or Janet Jackson, and the Madonna tours that have been promised on DVD for years but never came out. The Beatles film _Let It Be_. ---

> [@multimediac17](#): > > A complete (_complete_) music video collection from Madonna, **Kate Bush** , Prince or Janet Jackson, and the Madonna tours that have been promised on DVD for years but never came out. The Kate Bush thing might be coming closer. There is now an [official Kate YouTube channel](http://www.youtube.com/user/KateBushMusic) which might indicate that a DVD might be forthcoming. Her son Bertie is 13, and he might be a factor in Kate finally joining the rest of us in the 21st century. As for a full concert video, the recording was screwed up. There can never be a full version because a handful of songs are actually missing vocals. ---

There can never be a full version because a handful of songs are actually missing vocals. It’s been sort-of confirmed that she’ll release _something_ this year but not necessarily a studio album - if it is a hits collection with a couple of new songs (and such a collection makes sense now that _The Whole Story_ is deleted), I pray we get a companion DVD. Then again Kate is so famously dismissive of any back-catalogue related releases that this is all really just wishful thinking and in reality we’ll probably get a concept EP with a four-song cycle about her favourite brand of food processor. (Which would still be amazing) ---

I’m in London, so it’s the missing Zone 2 releases that drive me mad. My current most-wanted list is: 14 Days in May (Hamman) Men With Guns (Sayles) City of Hope (Sayles) Homicide: The Movie (Segonzac) Grindhouse (Tarantino/Rodriguez) Loony Tunes Golden Collection (Vol. 5 onwards) American Movie (Smith) ---

I’m behind the times. Was going to trot out my old standby "Dark Skies, but I decided on due diligence, and checked. Somehow, they secured all the music rights, and it was quietly released yesterday. Guess I need to make good on the thread title! ---

Some of them are on DVD, but really hard to find or really expensive: James Burke’s **Connections** James Burke’s **The Day the Universe Changed Connections[sup]2[/sup] Connections[sup]3[/sup] Robinson Crusoe on Mars** (for some reason only available on an expensive Criterion disc) The PBS Jeremy Brett **Sherlock Holmes** series (I only have 2 discs, and i never see the others) The British **Judge Dee** series. For that matter, the American TV movie, too. Rod Serling’s **a Carol for Another Christmas**. I’ve heard so much about it, I have to see it. The only place I know that had it was The Museum of the Moving Image. And not for sale, either. **That Was the Week That Was** The proto-Laugh-In and proto-SNL, with original songs by Tom Lehrer The rest of the run of **Rocky and Bullwinkle** – they stopped after only three sets. ---

The 1971 Ken Russell film, _The Boy Friend_, with Twiggy and Tommy Tune. It was on VHS, dunno why it never came out on DVD. Love that film. ---

DVD? Nothing. If we’re talking Blu-Rays, then: - Pulp Fiction - LOTR: The extended versions. - Rushmore - Arrested Development That’s it, I think. ---
