03/04/02: What rare, out of print videos would you just KILL to see?

Posted By: 0b1knob

You know, the stuff that's OOP or maybe never commercailly released in the first place? A few of mine:

Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. 195? version by Luis Bunuel starring Dan O'Herlihy, who was nominated for best actor oscar. Never been out on home video. Why? Might this be available from Spanish sources?

George Orwell's 1984. 195? version starring Edmund O'Brien. Most people hated it but I used to like it back when they still showed old black and white movies on late night TV.

Rich Man, Poor Man. 197? TV miniseries. OOP for many years, never had a real quality release. Very old 12 tape sets of it sometimes sell on Ebay for (I kid you not) $400+.

Pennies from Heaven. Original BBC miniseries starring Bob Hoskins, not the dreadful Steve Martin remake. Never got a release on VHS or DVD.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars. This was scheduled for a DVD release but then withdrawn. Bastards. A very rare special two disc laserdisc release is so rare as to be almost priceless.

Karaoke and Cold Lazarus. Last two miniseries by Dennis Potter. Never got a chance to see them. Were they even shown in the US? Also Blue Remembered Hills and a couple of others. All Dennis Potter's works just cry out for a deluxe box set release.
