Truffaut’s Day For Night.
Park Row. And it’s driving me absolutely crazy!
I’m truly puzzled by some of the entries here. Jodorowski’s Santa Sangre is widely available on DVD (R2). So is Truffaut’s Day For Night (R1).
“Yol” and Laurel and Hardy’s “Utopia”
As for documentaries, Hearts Of darkness is well overdue a release.
FAO Grey Dasies. But Day For Night isn’t available in R2.
Not “classic,” perhaps, but I’d love to be reacquainted with Curtis Harrington’s Games with James Caan, Katharine Ross and Simone Signoret.
La Jour se Leve. Why is “Essential Arthouse” holding it back?
DAY FOR NIGHT is available on DVD, I own a copy.
Good call on LA JOUR SE LEVE.
The HOTEL TERMINUS.
This is a life-changing documentary about the hunt for Nazi Klaus Barbie. Won an Oscar in 1989, and it’s so good you won’t believe it. Of course, it’s four hours long, but so what? The first time I saw it, I was totally transfixed. When the end credits rolled, I realized that I had a puddle on my shirt. I was so involved in the film I had actually been drooling. Never happened before or since!
Please, anybody… get this on DVD!
@Colin Houlson & others: Just get yourself a region-free DVD player & be done with it.

Vidor’s The Crowd and it’s sort-of sequel, Our Daily Bread.
In the US…Cul de Sac, Figures in a Landscape, Husbands (hopefully soon!), Magnificant Ambersons, Saint Joan…I admit that a couple of these may not make it to classic status, but they’re movies I want.
Nearly anything by Straub and Huillet, Raven’s End by Widerberg, Two German Sisters by Von Trotta, The Conductor by Wadja, and many more, but let’s start with these.
Next week, June 30, ‘09, a re-release of “BARFLY” will appear. Amazon will be selling it for $18. I already own the first DVD of this title which has been selling for lots of money in used condition. Don’t know anything about the transfer quality for this re-release.
Face to Face. God, I want to see it so badly….
Betrayal (1983)
Screenplay: Harold Pinter
Producer: Sam Spiegel
Director: David Jones
Editor: John Bloom
Cast: Jeremy Irons, Ben Kingsley
Brewster McCloud (1973)
Director: Robert Altman
Is anyone with me on these…?
Rendez-Vous Avec La Peur aka Night/Curse of the Demon by Jacques Tourneur (GB-1957)…It’s STILL not edited in zone 2 !!!
Yes, more Pinter! And more Altman! H.E.A.L.T.H. Where’s that at? Who’s keeping these movies from us?? and why??
I’m still waiting for Vampire Circus and Twins of Evil to come out in region 1 releases. Then, my Hammer vampire set will be complete.
Leo Mc’Carey’s Make Way for Tomorrow
Benjamín Cann’s Crónica de un desayuno
I’ve been particularly wanting copies of Johnny Guitar and Letters from an Unknown Woman, which I have never seen. Also, why isn’t Greed on DVD?
Forgot to mention Celine and Julie Go Boating.
There you go Todd:
Celine And Julie Go Boating
Johnny Guitar
Letter From An Unknown Woman
ahh, Letter from an Unknown Woman
and let me join in with so many:
Greed
The Magnificent Ambersons
TCM owns both of these titles and a restoration of Greed was completed in 1999. So what’s the hold-up?
The early films of John Waters
The Mother and the Whore, Glissement progressif du plaisir, Violent Noon :(
