I really wish they’d release “A Matter of Life and Death” (also known as “Stairway to Heaven”) with David Niven and Kim Hunter on Region 1 DVD so I could buy it for my father, who desperately wants a copy and is uninterested in the expense of a all-region player or doing any tinkering that would make the Region 2 release work for him. ---

I see four new and used Region 1 copies of _Stairway to Heaven_ for sale at [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), starting at $14.99. ---

I have one that I just tried to get that I never expected to be a problem: **The Incredible Shrinking Man**. Amazon has two editions of it, one a four pack of films that is going for $175 used and the other a PAL region 2 release (a search also returns a monster collection that does not have the movie in it; I had to go look for a complete listing of the films to confirm this). So apparently there was a one time, brief DVD release that’s long gone and now there’s nothing for this SF classic… ---

That’s out…I got it from Netflix a few months ago. [/QUOTE] No, The Committee was a 60’s improv group out of San Francisco. I have a classic session from VHS that includes Howard Hesseman before WKRP. He was using the name Don Purdy. Peter Bonerz is another cast member.

I’ve been waiting for years for _Cast a Deadly Spelll_. My VHS copy is just about unwatchable now. Fred Ward, Clancy Brown, Julianne Moore, David Warner, Cthulu, zombies - everything a movie should be. Also, _The Sins_. Saw it years ago on BBC America and keep waiting for it to come out so I can show it around. It’s the performance that locked Pete Postlethwaite in my mind as the ideal casting choice for Sam Vimes. ---
