We have covered this ground before, but here we go again.  Where the hell are the following movies?

* THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE
* THE SEVEN-UPS
* DIRTY MARY, CRAZY LARRY
* VANISHING POINT
* CONVOY (oh mighty Sam Peckinpah!)
* BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA (more Peckinpah!)
* PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID (even MORE Peckinpah!)
* PUPPET ON A CHAIN
* WILLARD (original)
* BEN
* BEYOND THE DOOR
* I DRINK YOUR BLOOD
* THE BLOOD EATERS

Some of these are or have been available from foreign distributors (like Video Mayhem of Florida) or are available in foreign and/or bootleg versions on Ebay.  But where are the high-quality U.S. releases?

That's a good list, particularly Convoy, a flick close to my heart.

I would add Street Trash, Cemetery Man, The Addiction, Lunatics: A Love Story, Freaks, Orgazmo, and a 2 disc special edition of Lucas.

I agree, Susan, Night of the Comet and Bringing Up Baby should be out.....I thought Pacific Family was doing The Monster Squad and Night of the Comet a few months ago but I haven't found them on sale anywhere.....

Scott:

Are you talking about FLEASH EATER with Bill Hinzeman?  If you are, it is either already on DVD or will be soon.

No THE FLESH EATERS (1964) directed by Jack Curtis about group of people stranded on an island with flesh eating microbes in the ocean created by a Nazi scientist.

It's not the simple act of putting the movies on DVD, it's putting them on a *GOOD* DVD transfer. Often times, transferring it to a cheap disc can make it *worse* than a videotape (I've seen it), thus defeating the purpose of the DVD. For every out of print film there's one or two good VHS or old laserdisc transfers and 20 bad DVD/VCDs.

There is a Marx Brothers box available (or at least "coming soon"). I'm not sure which movies are in it.

I bought several Marx Brothers DVDs individually, but I wish they would release more.

I agree with ElectroSunDog.  I'd rather pay $20 for a crisp, widescreen DVD than pay $8 for a scratchy, faded, full-screen version.

I liked MOM AND DAD SAVED THE WORLD, FLESH GORDON II (haven't seen the original yet), LITTLE NICKY, FLASH GORDON, and THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHASEN. They all have a similiar feel to them being wacky adventure stories with crazy sets and characters. Lots of fun.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
