Missing movies in your dvd collection

Any movies wishing you had in your dvd collection and don't?

For me it would be Failsafe, quatermass and the pit, a sequel to Dredd and a good sequel to shin godzilla. (The last 2 will likely not be made as american audiences are toots stupid to appreciate the originals.)

Dredd may be getting a TV series and Karl Urban has expressed an interest in doing it. The last I heard is that is is due to come on Netflix next year.

I thought the Dredd movie was very unlucky that The Raid came out just before it. I don't know if you can get access to BBC iPlayer in the US, but Quatermass & The Pit was on there the last time I looked on it (a few weeks ago, so might have been taken off by now).

Thanks for the update.

I have somewhere between 3,500 and 3,700 titles in my DVD/blu-ray collection, but there are still a lot missing that I wish I had.

Here are just a few examples:

* JOE KIDD
* TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA
* THE DOMINO PRINCIPLE
* LIFE OF BRIAN (Whaaaaaat? How could possibly I be missing this one?)
* The BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy (I only like the first one, but I'll eventually buy the whole set)
* MARCH OR DIE
* The NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET collection (although, I only like the first one)
* THE QUIET MAN

Many more.

I got about 200 VHS tapes and about 50 dvd's. So-yeah.
I need to buy the ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1932) and MARK OF THE VAMPIRE (1935).

I know what you mean. I buy a lot of DVD's just so I've got the sense of security of having a physical copy, even of movies I liked as a kid. Where possible, I track down trailers and scenes from YouTube and download them. Even better if there are full length versions, and even better if I can get a DVD.
