FRANKENSTIEN meets the SPACE MONSTER
SPIRIT of the BEEHIVE(1973)d.byVictor Erice.Never seen the film,but read about it in Leonard Maltin's2007 M0vie Guide-"-a lonley little village girl who see's Boris Karloff's FRANKENSTIEN in thre Town Hall and becomes entranced by the Monster.Her sister convinces her the monster is still alive,and she treks into the countryside to find him." Sounds interesting.
Al Adamson's HORROR of the BLOOD MONSTERS( I NEED to see this one again! I LOVE it.My kids even liked it...which is odd,cuz my kids think my taste in movies is strange...which,of course,is true.)

Twice Upon a Time. It'll never happen, but I still wish it would.

Freakazoid series. It's probably coming, but I want it now.

I agree with the Puppet Master Series. It has been released, but the original is now out of print and difficult to find for any reasonable price. I'll add to that another Full Moon production: Shadowzone. It's cheesy but fun.

Shadowfyre also has a good list.

I'll tentatively throw out Drowning by Numbers. I saw it a loooong time ago and can only really remember the gimmick (the numbers 1-100 appear, one per scene, and when the movie reaches 100, it ends) and the basic plot. But the photography is what stands out most in my mind; it is a beautiful looking movie. I know it is available on Region 2 DVD, but I need Region 1.

Shadowfyre, that is a good list.  I do have a DVD of "Planet of the Dinosaurs" I purchased a few years ago.  It looks like it is still available from Amazon.com:

DVD from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005OSKQ?ie=UTF8&tag=badmoviesorg&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00005OSKQ)

"Horror of the Blood Monsters" is also available on DVD right now:

(Both links give me credit if you buy it.  If you would like to give it to someone else, just go via their site link and search on the titles under "DVD" - they pop right up.)

I have a few I would like to see on DVD:

Mothra (original)
Radioactive Dreams
Uninvited
Howard the Duck
When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth
"MST3K the Movie" needs to be released again

Last, but not least, "The Wizard of Speed and Time" needs to be released on DVD, with a bonus disc containing all of Jittlov's short films.

I have to agree with Howard the Duck and Radioactive Dreams.  I have Radioactive Dreams on LD and I have a bootleg DVD of both films, but I'd like a high quality legit release.  In particular, I'd like to see RD in widescreen - the cropping is pretty noticeable in some scenes.

Monster Squad – Already mentioned.  My old used video store vhs looks awful.

From Hell it Came – Tree monster!

Legend of the Werewolf – Cool werewolf flick with the always good Peter Cushing.

The Werewolf (1956) I have heard good things about this one but I haven't gotten around to picking up a bootleg of it yet.

The Undying Monster – More werewolf goodness.  And since I seem to be on a werewolf kick right now, I would love to see the Werewolf tv series get a DVD release.

On Monster Squad, I hear the original negatives were all lost.  Only thing they could master it from now is the Japanese LD.  Why they don't just do that is beyond me, as it has been done before and actually looks good if done well.  It has a strong enough following for good sales. 

On that note, Fred Dekker's other classic b-movie Night of the Creeps is also out of print.

Oh, and I nominate Avenging Force.  There's an Aussie DVD release, but apparently it is very poor quality.

The one time I was at Suncoast Pictures with some friends and I mentioned Monster Squad and the cashier was like "I get asked if that's being released about 15 times a day" so you're right about that strong enough following.

I second Twice Upon a Time. My dad, sister, and I used to watch this over and over one summer when I figured out how to pick up Movie Channel by turning the tuning dial on the side of the old cable box. Dad found it in the TV listings, and suggested we watch it, we latched onto a gem purely by accident. I have a taped copy of the edited version that aired on Cartoon Network, need to dig it out.

Ever since I read about it on the site, I've wanted to see The Brain.
Title: Re: What Movies Need to be Released!?
Post by: Andrew on January 04, 2007, 11:47:28 AM
"Robinson Crusoe on Mars" is good news and Criterion always does such an amazing job on the discs.  I still pick up my "Fiend Without a Face" DVD and gaze at it in wonder.

I am surprised it is not out on DVD, because it is an interesting film and it did try to throw a couple of ideas out there.  Let's hope Synapse and Shriek Show keep working the list of lesser-seen movies.  Anchor Bay seems to have slowed down a lot.

Another film that I wonder why a DVD is still MIA is "Food of the Gods."

And, gosh darn I just noticed this, "Gunbuster" is out on DVD!  Man, I might have to get that, just for the final one (there were 6 OVAs, if memory serves).

2) Phantasm 2
3) Phantasm 3: Lord of the Dead
4) Phantams 4: Oblivion
5) Night of the Comet
6) Return of the Living Dead 3  (uncensored, uncut version)

Seeing Dennis' avatar reminded me that War of the Gargantuas needs a good, legit DVD release. Is anyone working on that...say Media Blasters/Tokyo Shock? As for Japanese films, I'd also like to see The H-Man and The Human Vapor.

Two older 50's classics that I thought for sure would be included in Universal's recent Classics of Sci-Fi collection are Cult of the Cobra and The Deadly Mantis. One can only hope those were held back for a possible second volume.

I have the DVD, which was put out years ago.  My guess is that the first run did not sell well, so they are not in a hurry to do another run.  That is a crying shame, because it really is flashy and full of overacting, but amazingly fun.

I have the ORIGINAL R1 release of Flash Gordon (1980) I've debated selling it as it's going for as much as a $100.00 on eBay.

But for me I'd like to see the old Gildersleeve films from RKO released on DVD along with about 10,000 other old films from the 40's and before.

Also Don Quixote (2000) on DVD, I have the VHS but I'd like to see it on DVD it's on R2 why no R1? And if we could get off the politically correct bandwagon long enough to release the "Song of the South" and many other so-called politically incorrect films.

They released that DVD back when the format was new. But in any event, I think it has more to do with securing certain rights, than DVD sales.

Supposedly, someone asked Roy Disney about the film and he said that he was trying to convince the suits at the Disney corporation to release a "Legacy" edition of the film. Oddly enough, songofthesouth.net takes this as a good sign. I don't, really. I hope that one day these execs will change their minds and put out an official copy, but I'm not optimistic. I bought a nice bootleg off of eBay a while back, just to see it. I don't see anything wrong with it. Then again, I'm white. What the hell do I know?

Considering Der Fuehrer's Face is on one of the newer collections (and they claimed at one point it would never get a US release), I wouldn't be too surprised to see Song of the South.

One of my "unreleased" prayers is getting answered soon - Jess Franco's "Count Dracula" (1970) is coming to R1 DVD in Feb.

There are loads of random titles I'd love to see on DVD, just off the top of my head:
Arabian Adventure (1979) - from the makers of 'At the Earth's Core', Christopher Lee has a dual role in this production.
Winnetou and Shatterhand in the Valley of Death - the last film in the classic Karl May Western series.
Die Nibelungen (1966/7) - a 1960s German take on the classic legend, directed by Harald Reinl.
Camp on Blood Island (1958) - a little known Hammer war film set in a Japanese prison camp.

...and of course anything else along those lines, there must be thousands of cult films still awaiting a DVD release, not to mention a good quality release!

I just thought of another one ...

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

you can buy it all day long in bootlegs and R2 but not in an official R1 release .... WHY? I have yet to break down and buy a region free player as I have far to many DVD as of now and this would cause me to buy even more non R1 titles and more DVD's is really something I don't need (or at least that what I am told) I have the VHS of this movie but it's about worn out as this is in my opinion one of the best war films of it's type and in my top 10 war flixz. Granted it's no Patton, Saving Private Ryan or Taegukgi but it's still good.

The EXECUTIONER ( with Duke Mitchell ,of BELA LUGOSI meets a BROOKLYN GORILLA infamy.) 2 gangster types go on a killing rampage,and eat alot! "Today we eat,tomorrow we kill!"
The DEVIL MASTER(aka DEMON LOVER) by Donald Jackson! I got it on an old VHS tape made in the early 80's...but on DVD,with the infamous Making of...DL doc.,would be GREAT!
CASA del TERROUR(aka FACE of the SCREAMING WEREWOLF) with Lon Chaney in his final role as a werewolf...AND a mummy! And another mummy in it to boot! Maybe even the origanal uncut comedy version with TanTan.

I wish that Anchor Bay would re-release Nightmares as a Divimax edition or something, but they may no longer have the rights to it.  I don't really want to pay fifty bucks for a used copy right now.

The Mouse and His Child needs to be on DVD.  Bootleg DVD's are easy to get on eBay, but I'm sure they're not exactly the highest quality.

Will Vinton's Festival of Claymation would also be nice to have.  They've released all three of the Claymation holiday specials and The Adventures of Mark Twain, so the festival one seems logical.

EYE of the CAT(1969) saw it on TV as a kid....never on video or DVD.I know it exists,and not a retitled movie because its in Leonard Maltin's 2007 M0vie Guide.It concerns murder in a houseful of cats.(not to be confused with NIGHT of a 1000CATS.
MANSON(1972) DAMMIT! I owned this movie,and had to buy it as a dupe from Cape Copy Center....WHY!? WHY won't they release this thing again?I know there are a lot of Manson docs out there,but the haunting music in this one is great! I would even buy the soundtrack,if it existed!
