Long story short- Mrs. Consigliori gives Wartime heap big Amazon gift certificate for birthday. Wartime with his wampum search for the **Ultimate Racing Classic** , AKA **Grand Prix** - starring James Garner and a cast of teeming dozens with great race footage. Grand Prix not available on DVD. Wartime smokes peace pipe and requests email when such is available. A bloodied but unbowed Wartime prays to Gods of Amazon yet again, offering wampum for another favorite: **Rio Conchos** , starring Richard Boone and the immortal Jim Brown (who was once a football player, and a good one, if you believe the Liberal Media). Rio Conchos is not available on DVD. Wartime smokes a cigarette and asks his Amigos on the SDMB: what movies/TV shows/documentaries/whatever do you want to be released on DVD? FWIW- I was able to find **On Any Sunday** on DVD, which was a nice surprise. ---

**Toto le Héros James Joyce’s Women Personal Services Let It Be Help** (was briefly available, now out of print and long overdue for the deluxe reissue treatment) …and any number of concert videos. (I’ve currently got a yen to see Marianne Faithfull’s **Blazing Away** again.) ---

Animaniacs. Nickolodeon is in my dog house for not running the show anymore (and not giving it more attention or running it more often when it did). In '03 (I think) by a complete fluke, I caught Animaniacs on Nickolodeon and found out it ran every Saturday and Sunday at 5 am. I started taping it (when I remembered) or would try to get up and watch it. Then it was replaced by Tiny Toons, which isn’t terrible, but doesn’t match up to Animaniacs in the least. I can only imagine that some sort of studio or contractual thing keeps it from being run on Cartoon Network. How is it that something like “Dude, Where’s My Car?” or any other number of stupid movies/tv shows have been put on DVD, but Animaniacs isn’t on DVD? What good does it do anyone not to have Animaniacs on anymore? No good. I want the Animaniacs on DVD! ---

I’m going to go with Almost Heroes. And if we’re allowed to list tv shows: then The Tick and Clone High. ---

I’d kill (okay, give a serious noogie, anyway 😉 ) for an official DVD release of **Brain Donors.** ---

**Robin Hood: Men in tights** and **Bull Shot** And I’ll wholeheartedly second the animated, the great, **The Tick** ---

The only DVD I’m anxiously waiting for is Pink Floyd’s **The Delicate Sound of Thunder** concert. I think they’ve released **Pulse** to DVD, but I’m holding out for this one. It has the most best version of _The Great Gig In The Sky_ ever! The three featured vocalists give me goosebumps. I didn’t fully appreciate Pink Floyd until I watched this concert on video when I was 20 years old. Been a huge fan ever since. ---

All the Karl Zamen films, especially **The Fabulous World Of Jules Verne**. My video copy is reall showing it’s age. Number One would be the original **King Kong**. ---

**BMalion** beat me to it – I’m still amazed that **King Kong** still isn’t on DVD (nor are **Son of Kong** or the original **Mighty Joe Young** ). \*\*Robinson Crusoe on Mars \*\* has never been available on commercial VHS or DVD, which is a shame. ---

_Brain Donors_ is available on Region 1 DVD. Or, at least, so IMDB and Amazon claim. I want a few of the early Oscar winners, like _Wings_ and _Cavalcade_. Also, _King Kong_. ---

An obscure British miniseries called [Flickers](http://imdb.com/title/tt0081864/) (1980), and Vernon & Irene Castle’s [The Whirl of Life](http://imdb.com/title/tt0006276/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD1vbnxmYj11fHBuPTB8cT1UaGUgV2hpcmwgb2YgTGlmZXxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8aHRtbD0x;fc=1;ft=20) (1915).

**Police Squad** – the entire series The rest of the **Rocky and Bullwinkle** shows and **The Bullwinkle Show**. **Creator** I’d like them to re-release the 1910 Edison **Frankenstein** on DV again.
