I was happy as all get out when Universal finally released dvd box sets of the their top monster flicks- Dracula, Wolf Man, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, The Mummy and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Some of these had been on dvd before though all of them went out of print several years ago.

What favorite films and tv shows from the past are you waiting for to make the transition to dvd?

Some of the films I want-

"Mad Love" (the Peter Lorre version)

"Mr. Moses"

"The Milagro Beanfield War"

"Phantom of the Opera" (both the Claude Rains & Herbert Lom versions)

"Remarkable Andrew" and other Danny Kaye films not yet on dvd

"The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" (I love grade-b horror flicks)

"What's So Bad About Feeling Good?"

TV series-

Beauty and the Beast (at least seasons 1 & 2)

Twin Peaks season 2

The Addams Family complete series

Bewitched

I've been looking for this English television series on DVD or video for years. My mum used to love it. Was called Shelley or Shelly about some single english guy just struggling through day to day stuff. I assume it was a sitcom, but i dont recall laughing. Ive concluded it doesnt exist however. Sorry mum.

I want all the seasons of ER that there's been up to now. So far I only have season 2.

I also want 'A League of Their Own' on either DVD or Video, not fussy. I've never seen it in a shop yet and I've been looking for about 5 years. Might have to order it from Amazon.

I want Law & Order:SVU. I have season 1, but I want 2-5. I know season 5 is out now, so I must assume that the others are out as well.

Also want ST:Voyager seasons 1-5.

Sex & the City (I have season 5, need all the others)

Angels in America

Baryshnikov's "The Nutcracker" (it's the only one I can watch)

Princess Mononoke

Immortal Beloved

Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are dead

Brigadoon

I will always come up with more, but currently on my "to have" list are:

- Coupling, season 3

- Keeping Up Appearances box set

- Alias, all seasons

- Star Trek: TOS

- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

If I had the money, I'd buy them all!

I am waiting for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" to finally be available on DVD. Fox released season one in October 2002, but the company has not released the other six seasons. However, Fox recently issued a statement that season two MAY be available in 2005. MTMS is my favorite TV show, so I'm anxious for its DVD release--all seven seasons.

A film that I'd like to see on DVD is "The African Queen" starring Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. I can't believe it isn't available on DVD yet.

Another film that merits a DVD release is "Two for the Road" starring Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney.

I am afraid to admit that I watched "Shelley" which starred Hywel Bennet and I loved "The Lovers" with Paula Wilcox and Richard Beckinsdale who tragically died very young.
My all time favourite BBC sit com was "Just Good Friends" with Paul Nicholas and Jan Francis, not available on DVD,I keep asking ,the BBC keep saying no.Can we start a petition?

love Brigadoon


go home go home go home with mary jean

I've one BIG list of movies I want on DVD! F'rinstance:

A few Powell-Pressburger films, such as "Black Narcissus" and "Colonel Blimp" are on disc, but not my all-time favorite Archer film "A Matter Of Life and Death" (also known as "Stairway To Heaven" stateside). I really want to see it on disc! (and heck, throw in "Red Shoes"!)

Also, the 1940 "Thief of Bagdad", co-directed by Powell (another favorite of mine), the 1939 "Four Feathers", "The Magic Box" and the first St. Trinian's film with Alastair Sim, a howl in drag!

Too, I'd like a disc collection of Sir Alec Guiness' early work, especially "The Horse's Mouth", "The Man In the White Suit", the original "Ladykillers", the heartrending "Last Holiday" and his witty turn as Chesterton's Father Brown (oh, and "Captain's Paradise", "Lavender Hill Mob" and "Kind Hearts and Coronets"!)

Among film noirs I want are "Nightmare Alley", "Kiss Me Deadly", Siodmak's original "Killers" and "Criss Cross", "The Window" and "The Big Combo". And ESPECIALLY "White Heat"! I can't believe it's not on disc yet!

Also "The Naked Prey", "The Court Jester", the Mitchum films "Night of the Hunter" and "The Sundowners", and the restored version of Fuller's "The Big Red One". And a disc series of the old Betty Boop cartoons.

As for TV, give me a series of the old 60's Soupy Sales shows. I haven't seen them since I was a kid! And they've got to have at least one scene of Soupy doing "The Mouse"!!!

I would like to have the F13th series and old Freddy's Nightmares on dvd. If they are I am not aware of it but I loved those shows

I forgot about "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" with Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones. It's not on DVD yet either, but it's a great movie that shows how an advertising man's life during WWII later affects his outlook on life, his job, and his family in the mid-1950s.

Defintly some hilarious shows like:

Rove Live
That 70's Show
Scrubs
According To Jim

The films I want on DVD are:

Eddie and The Cruisers

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter is Dead

I would love to have these:

- Being There with Peter Sellers

- The Ballad of Little Joe with Susan Amis

- Ballad of the Sad Cafe with Vanessa Redgrave

- What's Eating Gilbert Grape - an early Johnny Depp

These are some of the best films I've ever seen...can't find 'em anywhere!

Movies (Too many to name completely...)

Wish they would release Raise the Red Lantern on DVD, as well as To Live.

Stuff that's already out I would want:

Toy Story 2
Princess Mononoke
Psycho
North by Northwest
Before Sunrise
In the Mood for Love
Seven Samurai
Wages of Fear
Three Colors: Red
Yojimbo
Amadeus

And that's a small fraction of them...

For TV Shows, I hope they release the Kim Possible DVDs as soon as possible - that show is hilarious!

In addition to what's out there:

Samurai Jack
Star Trek: The Next Generation
The Simpsons
Futurama
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
The Decalogue
Boy Meets World
Boomtown

My daughter and I are also loyal Boy Meets World fans. Didn't know it was out on DVD though. Great!

Let's add Northern Exposure to that list. Those plaid flannel shirt wearing people in Cicely, Alaska are almost like relatives to me!

Films:

The Believer- Ryan Gosling is ridiculously(sp) good.

Session 9- Creeepy...

TV Shows:

Freakylinks- Oh, but how completely awesome that would be.

Titus- Comes out in July, I think. So funny, can't wait!

Lost- September! 1st season, baby!!

Two Guys and A Girl- My ultimate DVD dream. Bloopers, deleted scenes, commentaries. The whole works, just bring it on! To have this would be as if it were plucked from my dreams... *crosses fingers*

I'm still waiting for "The Amazing Race", "Lost", and "House" all on season one. DVDs schedules for later this year.

Dead Like Me and Daira to come onto DVD in the UK would be sweet. Got the Dead Like Me on pre-order...

I would like them to come out with "Get Smart" on DVD. I really liked that show.

Movies: Didn't really think of it, but "Wizard of Oz" (I'm not sure if it is on DVD yet or not, but I want it), and "Stay Tuned"

I've read a few of the old radio scripts and caught reruns of "Challenge of the Yukon". I love that show! It's pretty old, but King has grown on me (he reminds me of my late lead dog, Toklat).

I would love to have "Chappelle's Show", season 2!!!!

ktstew, the first 3 seasons of Nothern Exposure has been released on DVD.

kyleis, I've heard that because previous reality shows haven't done well on dvd, that AR may not ever be released. I'm with you, though. I would buy every season. With AR, it's not just who wins, it's the journey in getting to the last pitstop.

I'm waiting for Wings with the Hackett brothers to come out.

Since I first posted this thread, both "The Milagro Beanfield War" and "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies" have been released on dvd and into my collection.

"The President's Analyst" was another movie favorite finally released on dvd. I heard it was held up for years because of disputes over rights to songs featured in the film. Glad they ironed out those differences as it wouldn't have been the same without the great tunes that movie featured.

Season one of "Bewitched" will be released this summer. There will be both a b&w and colorized version of this season which was originally only released in black & white- which is how I want my copy. I can't wait for this, I always loved Elizabeth Montgomery.

Another favorite series, "Remington Steele", gets the dvd treatment this summer.

"Wings"- I agree with DieHard that it needs to be released.

I won't even start listing the movies, or I'll sit here for a week or so... As to TV shows, however, I would like...

The Persuaders (old show starring Roger Moore and Tony Curtis; great success in Germany but not in English-speaking countries as far as I know)
Lois & Clark (the Superman series starring Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher - but this will never come out on DVD, I fear....)
Lost (most addictive show I've ever watched; halfway through season 1 here in Germany; you guys are way ahead of us, as usual)
Dark Angel (didn`t even think the show was good, but once I got into it, I was hooked - and they stopped airing the re-runs halfway through season 1; I really wanna know how it ends!)
X-Files (this is so far down on my list 'cause I have the whole show on video - but the English version plus the extras would be nice...)
Buffy, Angel (see X-Files comment)
I'd also like The Nanny although I've seen every single episode at least three times; it just never gets boring

And then there's a few collector's boxes, such as the LOTR Extended Edition , Star Wars, Harry Potter movies...

But all of this is wishful thinking, as I'm only a poor student
