Mr. Cavorting with Nudists recommended Verboten! , The Man I Love, Untamed Youth and Dogville Shorts, Auntie Christina Freebie & the Bean, and CaptKarl Brewster McCloud.

There are actually plenty of good movies never released on DVD, and not available on demand or any other way, really.  For example, Rad, the classic BMX love story.  (Sign the petition!).

List others. Thank you.

I haven't seen it myself, but there's a decent HDTV > DVD bootleg floating around called Rad.1986.NTSC.HDTV.DVDR-CMG


Here are some others I'd like to see on DVD

Once (1971) - mysterious and elusive experimental film with great soundtrack




Sea of Joy (1971) - Australian surfing doc




Last Summer (1969)  and many other Frank Perry films

LAST SUMMER is one of the most highly requested titles in our vast library, and we planned to make it available last year when we launched the Warner Archive Collection. When we were unable to secure a good quality master which retained the film's original theatrical aspect ratio, the release was postponed. Fortunately, the issue is resolved and we look forward to announcing its DVD premiere later this year.

American Dreamer (1971) - perhaps Hopper's best work

American Dreamer


Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) - it's better than a lot of Vadim movies already on DVD, written by Gene Roddenberry




Phantom Tollbooth (1970) - kiddie classic




World's Greatest Sinner (1962) - greatest independent movie ever
(TCM sourced DVD-R is on thepiratebay)





Michael Mann's The Keep often gets mentioned in these types of threads, but the movie isn't very good

Is A New Leaf (Elaine May, 1971) available on DVD or any on-demand service?

[roubaix]

I don't think so, it's #53 on this list

Strange that Sleuth has had 2 DVD releases (I think) but it's still included

I saw that at a drive-in with my parents when it first came out.

I don't think Johnny Guitar (1954, Nicholas Ray) has ever been released on DVD.

I don't think Johnny Guitar (1954, Nicholas Ray) has ever been released on DVD.

Neither has Ray's THE LUSTY MEN, which I talked about on here somewhere before.

A Thousand Clowns (1965)  I don't why it hasn't yet been released on DVD. The movie was nominated for several Oscars.

[Joe Rogaine]

They're going to show Stunt Man on TCM this weekend, its not available on DVD.

I thought Johnny Guitar was on Criterion.

Brewster McClound just recently got released on DVD.

I've been waiting for Hickey & Boggs to show up somewhere -- it's an early '70s I Spy Cosby/Culp reunion, but they play a couple hard-boiled detectives and the film's supposedly kind of gritty and bleak. I read someone compare Cosby's performance in this to Lee Marvin, so now I need to see this to find out if that actually makes any sense.

As a Warner Archive disc, which are overpriced DVD-Rs.

I'm not sure if this is officially OOP, but there's been some talk of an eventual Criterion pick-up.  A friend of mine recently visited the Criterion offices and told them to release it.  They seemed agreeable to his demands.  The existing DVD does have a great commentary track with Haynes, Julianne Moore, and producer Christine Vachon.

I think Danger Diabolik is no longer available, or it might have just come back in print. One of the two. There was a bunch of stuff snipped out of the MST3K finale and it's been a long time since I saw the real thing. I do love that finale though ... I about passed out when I found out that was the final movie they were going to do.

In addition to Golan Globus, another favorite name to see in the opening credits that assures you're about to see something ridiculous ... Dino De Laurentiis!
