I grew up watching these... When I was older I managed a video store. The coolest thing about that job was making friends with distributers and my boss allowing me to order movies at a discount for my home collection. Before Katrina I had over 5000 movies on VHS. Some of the movies I ordered was because I saw them in small late night theaters. This video makes me happy 👍😊

Did you know the movie was based on fact?

[@Larry_Ibarra]

There was a silent movie from the 1920s called Greed. It was an enormous epic that was originally 9 hours long or something like that. It was of course cut down significantly, prompting the director to declare that his masterpiece was ruined. It had a troubled production; much of it was filmed in Death Valley and many of the cast and crew became ill. Nowadays even the cut version is difficult find on to dvd, blu -ray and streaming. There might be clips of it on youtube though.

[@agustinprystupa280]

Yes it was released in 1924 director was Erich Von Stroheim MGM bosses said that no one would ever paid a ticket to watch a 9 hour long film that's why the movie was dramatically cut

[@notperfectandneverwillbe4825]

And the film was most likely ruined like Eric von Stroheim said. Because it was originally 9 hrs (which I have to agree is a little long for a silent film) but they butchered it to under two hrs. I have seen this copy in a history of film where we watched and discussed a number of silent films. Sunset is a very good dramatic silent film.

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

He co-owns the film with Jagger, who graciously sent us his copy for exhibition at the Los Angles Film Festival.

A "hard to find" movie that I love and hope it gets released/remastered someday is "Some of My Best Friends Are". With a young Rue McClanahan (Golden Girls) and Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers). Both this film and Boys in the Band were so ahead of their time in portraying gay men in something more than a punchline to be laughed at. Instead, dramatic roles with brilliant performances. I remember watching both as a gay young man in the 70's and 80's and realizing I wasn't so different. Although Boys in the Band has recently been remade (JIm Parsons did an incredible job in the remake), "Some of My Best Friends Are" remains elusive.

[@michaelbeblowski4548]

Because of an early 2000s change in Federal law dealing with compensating artists for licensing music prompted by digital piracy, Nowhere was never released on DVD in the United States because of its iconic soundtrack. The amount of money required for any production company to license the original songs would make the DVD too "expensive" for them to recoup their initial investment. Though Strand Releasing has very recently re-released the film with excised footage to theaters and a forthcoming DVD and Blu-Ray in mentioned in their website, I don't know if the original soundtrack is intact....

It's cool to hold on to old tapes, but the bad news is that magnetic tapes deteriorate, so you might want to consider digitizing them before the degradation in picture quality becomes noticeable. VHS tapes, like cassette tapes, are a terrible archival medium. They go bad just by existing. This is not necessarily the case with film, if stored properly, but there is not much you can do to restore a steadily demagnetizing tape (not to mention physical damage).

If you want to know now badly they were treated, just look at what happened to James Baskett, who starred in the movie. He won an Oscar for his performance but couldn't attend the ceremony. It was for whites only. Disgusting.

@@matthewbelcher5389 True. I have a very good foreign DVD of it.

[@LucyLioness100]

You can find foreign prints of the movie, but definitely no U.S. DVD

One of my favorite films is Godzilla vs Biollante. At the time it was released plenty of vhs tapes went out, and my family still has one. However, getting your hands on a dvd was near impossible until 2012, and even now it's hard to find a copy that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, or isn't a part of a movie set.

[@Evan64m]

I have a blu ray of it I remember there were a bunch of them at Best Buy in the dollar bin

[@brentdrapesa2397]

The original cut of The Big Boss with all the deleted scenes is pretty much impossible to get or even view. Apparently one of the only people still alive who has a copy is a photographer in hong kong

[@robertclarke8811]

The horror movie, Just Before Dawn starring George Kennedy & Chris Lemmon would be another that fits the list.

[@thecrowpit24]

Just Before Dawn has a Blu-ray release.

[@Steven-pn8kd]

Any TV movie that was never released on video should be on here.

I have the golden vhs collection of the original Star Wars Trilogy. I had found it at my local k-mart when I had worked there after high school in 2000. I had hid it in my work locker and had used my check from that week to buy the VHS trilogy. I had watched it only a few times and wished to watch it again. But I no longer have a working VHS player (got rid of my old one years ago). I had also gotten Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats on a double VHS at the same time (which I still have, next to my Star Wars VHS).

[@Mira_Dunia]

You began the video with a ranting Oliver Reed - immediately got my attention! 😀

[@mikememine1423]

Good eye and ears!

[@heatherpayne1995]

My husband threw away multiple VHS copies of the star wars trilogy when I got them on DVD. Thankfully I do also own the 2005 DVDs that have the original versions.

[@codysimmons4367]

Volcano High, the MTV version. Martial arts film with famous rappers doing the voice over! It’s all you need!!!

[@mr.x8259]

Wes Craven’s Chiller. There is yet to be a proper release on DVD.

[@fictionaldaydream]

Meatballs 3 is the hardest one I have a hard time of finding, Patrick Dempsey. We need a blu ray release, hell I would even take a dvd copy.

[@karami8844]

I lucked out on finding a really good condition Criterion Collection DVD of Robert Bresson’s “Diary of a Country Priest” (1951). The DVD has been out of print for many years and only clips exist on YT. I’ve seen just a few Criterion Collection DVDs selling for well over $100. Hands down my favorite movie of all time. ❤️

[@mrtunapie6653]

For those interested, The Devils is in fact available on Blu-ray in the uncut form. It's a private release from Cinema Dream Network. The studio Warner's refuses to this day from giving it an official release, so it will never happen, but they had sent prints out to other studios that contained the cut footage. And yes, it is every bit as insane as you have heard. Also, Ken Russel was forced to make some cuts himself which, of course, are lost forever.

I remember seeing Dead Solid Perfect when it premiered on HBO. Also I once borrowed the DVD of Wired from the local library. Wasn't really a fan and only watched it because I was a fan of Chiklis from when he was on The Commish

[@daviddaviscrawford3669]

Great list

[@RobHorrorLive]

For those who are wondering, they got these clips frol trailers and scenes on KZbin.

[@laurabailey1054]

I saw The Keep at the movies when I was in high school. The book is really good.

[@DKS225]

I can name at least one film that was hard to find but i got eventually. It was The 1987 film Mannequin. i Bought it off a Grey Market Vendor or Pop-Up DVD Stall some years back.

[@mikememine1423]

Lassie...

[@sjogre7789]

A movie I have never found on dvd or blu-ray. Long Gone starring William Petersen & Dermot Mulroney. Great baseball movie. I think a HBO movie.

[@SpamEggSausage]

I saw that ages ago. It was great. Not your average sports movie.

[@Portugal2025]

Sleuth. 1972 film with Sir Laurence Olivier and I guess he is also Sir Michael Caine. Totally wonderful. Near impossible to find except on YT

[@Hotgarbage100]

"The Kiss" from 1988 with Joanna Pacula and Meredith Salenger is another one!

[@N_3_Z]

My Summer Story should be on this list as well

[@bobbydelacroix1515]

Original Dawn of The Dead is so hard find. My vhs copy is how I watch it 😅

[@Saddonghussein]

It has like 3 diferent DVDs ports, original, directors and anniversary one, so you can pick one you want
