List your unattainable movies, titles unavailable in any form

[MaskedMan]

These movies were never released on disc here in the states. If they haven't been released by now, they never will, and only hope is direct to digital. Mine are:

"target zero" stars Richard Conte
"Johnny come Lately" stars James Cagney
"Inferno" stars Robert Ryan
"hunters are for killing" stars Burt Reynolds
"Crosscurrent" stars Robert Hooks, Robert Wagner, and Simon Oakland
"Midnight Man" stars Burt Lancaster
"speedtrap" with Joe Don Baker

"Run" is a 1991 movie by Hollywood Pictures starting Patrick Dempsey and Kelly Preston. It's available on VHS and Region 2 DVDs only. I watch the full length movie on YouTube a few months back because I hadn't seen it in years. It's a really good movie. I sold my VHS copy for $20.00 early this year.

"Without Warning" is a 1980 science fiction horror film starring Jack Palance and Martin Landau and distributed by World Amusement. I have never seen it on VHS or DVD, but it probably was available on VHS years ago and I just missed it.

"Super Fuzz" (1983) is mine, last seen on VHS. The current DVD version is the original Italian version "Super Snooper" which has a number of differences with respect to music score and character voices/looping.

Also, "Scavenger Hunt" (1979), last seen on pay cable in the very early 80s and maybe once or twice on CBS during that time as well. I'm not aware of any release except maybe VHS in it's infancy.

Finally, "The Nude Bomb" (1980) was last seen on VHS as well (albeit more recently, in the late 90s), with no DVD release to my knowledge.

Mr. Boogedy is about a man who moves his family into a haunted house. It was a disney Channel Original Movie, along with it's sequel Bride of Boogedy. It was a cheesy movie, but I loved it as a kid. To this day I don't think it's ever been released on home video, not even VHS from what I can tell.

Obscure but inspired choices! Haven't seen Super Fuzz but the other two I remember from random TV airings as a kid And in the vein of Scavenger Hunt I'll add Midnight Madness (1980), the inspiration for The Game, of which I have played a few and co-created one

"Hellzapoppin'", a 1941 Universal comedy based on the Broadway hit of the same name. It's been out in Region 2 on dvd for quite some time, but no release here. I think there might be some kind of legal snag with it getting released here.

"The Servant", Joseph Losey's fascinating 1963 drama with Dirk Bogarde, one of Bogarde's finest performances. Out in region 2, but not here.

"Boom!", the infamous 1968 bomb starring Elzabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Noel Coward. A film so dreadful and eccentric, it needs to be seen to be believed. Out in Region 2 in a badly transferred dvd, but not here.

"Alistair Cooke's America", a joint BBC - Time-Life 13 part miniseries from 1972 that won both a BAFTA in the UK and a Golden Globe here in the state. I have a soft spot for this one, since it got repeated a few times in the years leading up to the US Bicentennial. A brilliant and personal overview of American history written and narrated by Cooke, who, for many years presented "Letter from America" on the BBC. Out in Region 2; never available here in the US.

Re: List your unattainable movies, titles unavailable in any form

While it's a TV series and not a movie, the 1966 "BATMAN" tv series starring Adam West has always been on my wish list for a release, as the series has never seen an episode released on VHS, Beta, laserdisc, DVD, blu-ray, etc.

However, today it was officially announced that WB (not Fox) will be releasing the complete series later this year. With that in mind, my fingers are crossed backwards and forwards that they will include digital HD Ultraviolet copies of each episode in the complete series set. WB has done this for a few other shows, so hopefully they truly want to maximize their return on what's probably a very substantial investment for them and will included digital copies!

Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOM's)

In particularly the , "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" movies 1-3. I watched part one by accident one day in the late 90's when I stayed home from school sick. While the acting was great, the plot sucked me in and I wound up liking it and the other two.

The Disney Channel rarely, if ever, shows them. Even in the early morning (3 am) DCOM block. They aren't available in any format that I can find (sometimes there are bootleg VHS copies on Amazon). Not only would I like to dissolve into someone from my teen years, but I think my nieces would like them (Zenon and other DCOM's) as well.
