Thanks to this thread I did some digging. I found a copy at [www.scarecrow.com](http://www.scarecrow.com) and placed a pre-order on one.

It went in the mail today. I should have it in a day or two.

It is a PAL copy so I’ll have to do some converting to another disc before I can watch it. But I’m cool with that. I’m just happy to have found it at such a fair price.

The film to DVD transfer is what they botched. Whoever did it, didn’t know that the film was _supposed_ to look washed out, so they “corrected” it.

There **is** a decent copy of the film out there on 1-inch master, owned by the local PBS station in town, and while I told PBS about it, they’ve yet to jump on it.

Actually, in the 1984 movie, I don’t care much about most of the Eurhythmics soundtrack. But I do want Annie Lennox crooning “Julia” on the end titles’ I remember the 1970s “The Lathe of Heaven” vaguely. I was a wee lad when I saw it.

Amen about Dave Allen!

A good quality release of the \*\*Twin Peaks Pilot Episode \*\*

Sergio Leone’s **Fistful of Dynamite/Duck You Sucker**

And, while we’re at it, how about a **Godfather Compilation** where you can actually see what’s going on? :rolleyes:

Yup, she’s crooning over the credits (and you do get hear the song being played backwards when Winston betrays her, as well as the instrumental bit in the forest).

**The Flash** , from 1990. Not only was it at the time the best superhero show ever to make it to television, it featured Mark Hamill in his first supervillan role, and foreshadowed his role in _Batman the Animated Series._
