Found my original unopened blu ray copy of Dogma while moving recently. Someone told me it was a rare find. All this does is confirm that buying physical media is the way to go.
It’s interesting for kids. Most people don’t realize that back in the day the politically correct people were the stuffy republican upper echelon assholes. How the tables have turned.
@perrycoffey5410 I've been trying to rewatch it for well over 10 years now, and i simply can't find it. Damn thing was on every week for years when I was growing up
Still have my Dogma Special Edition & PCU DVDs. PCU is a version of Animal House for a 90's audience. Still relates well to today. To see where it all came from. Dogma and the Buddy Christ was hilarious.
I still quote PCU. " COFFEE, COFFEE NOW!" and of course " Causeheads". You can find HQ dvd and blu rays of Cannonball Run, Corvette Summer, Hooper and a ton of obscure car movies at any major car show. I got my collection from the Pittsburgh World Of Wheels.
Murder by the Book a 1987 TV Movie with Robert Hays as a mild mannered Mystery Writer who gets caught up in his work that his fictional character from his books arrives to him in hullicinations. Very Hard to find, despite coming out on VHS has never been available on DVD, Blu Ray or on Streaming. Another one for your list.
Late last year, I got to watch Freaked at a double-feature with Gremlins 2. I have been a fan of both those movies but had never seen either of them on the big screen and was so grateful to the New Beverly for screening them
I just paid $30 for PCU. I couldn’t believe it was out of print and so expensive. Personally, I like visiting estate sales, and buying up CDs and DVDs. That’s how I got Cannonball Run and The Abyss 😊
I know that Fright Night 2 is extremely rare and hard to find. It's very expensive now also. Jeremy Piven has a lot of movies like this also. Not sure if it's out of print but I remember watching a movie called Dr Jekyll and Ms Hyde all the time back in the day. It had Tim Daly and Sean Young in it.
This is an interesting list. I actually have 5 of the 10 in my DVD collection (Dogma, Cannonball Run, Shoot to Kill, PCU and Ricochet). Movies are getting harder and harder to find but still have my collection.
I have an extensive DVD collection too including many movies that you can't find any longer and I keep adding to it. Unless you can hold it in your hand (DVD's or Blu-ray) you don't really own it.
These following Disney/Touchstone/Hollywood Pictures titles have never been released on DVD or Blu-ray: Off Beat (1986), The Rescue (1988), Run (1991), True Identity (1991), Passed Away (1992), Jerky Boys: The Movie (1995) and Shadow Conspiracy (1997).
Its definitely not a mystery why that god awful trash fire Jerky Boys movie has never been released on dvd or blu-ray....That trash is god awful. they typically want to release things that the majority of people want, not just a handful of people
Blood In Blood Out is on RUclips. Theres one good upload of it but there is section where the sound drops out because of copyright but other than its fine. There's a few different uploads of it so be careful which one ya pick. One the screen freezes towards the end and its just the sound until its over.
I really wish disney would release a 4k version of blood in, blood out it is one of my favorite movies and after all these years it would be great to see it in 4k and with the subtitles when the actors speak spanish and possibly more extra footage.
I can at least feel proud of having Dogma, 28 Days Later and Blood in Blood Out on DVD. One that you left off that’s also unavailable anywhere is Red State.
I love this series! I'll like to add that Rumble in the Bronx (1995), Police Story 4: First Strike (1996) & Who Am I? (1998) are only available in the west as an inferior US/international cuts.
Those are the only cuts I've ever known. Because I seen both at the show when I was in my early 20s. And I own both of these, so what are the other cuts you mention? Obviously First Strike would be called Police Story 4 in China. But I never knew Rumble in Vancouver Canada had any other cut.
@@Brickstyles2 When those movies were released in the west, they were re-dubed & heavily cut. For example: The original Hong Kong cut of Rumble In the Bronx is 104 mins. long, while US/international cut is 89 mins. The original Hong Kong cut of Police Story 4 is 107 mins. long, while US/international cut is only 84 mins. The original Hong Kong cut of Who Am I? is 117 mins. long, while US/international cut is 108 mins. For more info check IMDb.
I think dvd still looks fine for most stuff. I don't really care about bluray unless it's a big action movie or something where the visuals are the most impressive thing about the movie (like "avatar" or "life of pi"). I grew up with VHS on an 18" TV, and didn't even have cable, so I'm not picky.
I've said the same thing for a long time, and still generally agree. If it's a good movie then it's a good movie. I enjoyed the heck out of movies on VHS when I didn't know any better. Alas, the more HD content I see on a regular basis, the more jarring it gets to see how poorly DVD compares. One minute I'm watching some youtuber's crystal clear 4k video recorded on their phone and the next minute I'm wondering how I never noticed just how soft and low-res Fargo is on DVD.
Try looking for 'Shoot to Kill' under the title 'Deadly Pursuit'. That's the title used in the UK. I had no problem finding it on DVD (I rented it on VHS in the 80's and also had a VHS copy taped from Sky Movies in the early 90's). The UK Sun newspaper gave away copies of Cannonball Run on DVD about 15 years ago. I still have my copy in the cardboard sleeve it came in. I also have Ricochet and 28 Days later on DVD.
Dogma is definitely an underrated gem. My favorites that I struggled to find over the years: -BASEketball, from the South Park guys, from the early days. Too funny if you like South Park. - Fanboys from 2009 is really hard to find, even as a torrent. It's about a group of friends who want to break into the Skywalker Ranch to steal the first cut of Episode 1 before their friend dies of a terminal illness. Hilarious with the occasional gut punch. - Dark City, a sci-fi noir with Kiefer Sutherland. Super weird but a great movie. - Old School with Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and that lot. Hard to find in Europe. - The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Probably too weird, yet it is amazing. You'll be on the edge of your seat with antici......................................................pation.
So many films are hard to find on physical media or upgrades!! The sure thing, Sean Penn fims, sorcerrer, some films by Ron Howard, Extreme Prejudice, Films by John Boorman and many more have been forgotten or in some legal limbo because of music rights or something else!!
The Sure Thing just got reissued on Blu-ray by Sandpiper Pictures awhile back, and Extreme Prejudice has been on Blu-ray by Lionsgate for over a year now.
The one thing that took me by surprise about *"Ricochet"* was that Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner was in it and she was great. I'm surprised she hasn't done more films.
The Cannonball Run is pretty easy to find, on Blu-ray, in Australia. So, if you want to import it, that is your best shot. Hard movies to find, on blu-ray, are The Punisher - Director's Cut, Johnny Mnemonic, The Wraith and The Condemned.
Cannonball Run has been available in Australia on bluray for years, and just been re-released. Also in a double pack with the sequel. Available from Umbrella Entertainment
One that should be spotlighted in a future episode is The Chase (1994). This has never gotten a Blu-ray release anywhere and isn't on streaming. In addition, the DVD goes for quite a bit of money.
TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA - it is so hard to find and such a great movie. 1985, William Friedkin, one of the best car chases of all time, funny money, drugs, sex, great acting from Willem Dafoe. Help me understand why this one is so hard to find anywhere
I have PCU on DVD. Talk about being way ahead of it's time! Also Phoenix with Ray Liotta and many other great actors can be found on DvD but I don't see it often. Great flick.
I was lucky to find a double feature dvd with PCU and Airheads several years back when Walmart still carried a sizeable dvd section. (Man, I miss those 5$ bins.) Two other DVDs i own that are hard to find are Trick or Treat, the 1986 horror movie with cameos from Ozzy and Gene Simmons, and The Worst Witch starring Fairuza Balk. Both i was incredibly lucky to get on amazon before prices skyrocketed.
Videos like this make me really happy that I have owned my copies of Dogma and Freaked on DVD's for decades. I find it strange when I see people on the internet talking about physical media being dead when there's literally millions of movie collectors that have been collecting these films longer than social media has existed. I have recently picked up several Blu-ray disks of some of my favorite films as a kid of the 80's. There will always be people willing to spend their money on films they want to watch as long as there are films still being put on physical media and people will want to re-watch them. This is the biggest problem with films these days, most films aren't worth watching more than once and are dated as soon as they are released. The true sign of a film that will remain timeless is how people will want to re-watch a film after the initial hype of their release has died down. It's because of physical media that many films have become cult classics years or even decades after their theatrical release. Even a film that appears to be successful can age poorly and will eventually be forgotten in time.
Some more hard to find movies Airheads(1994) , The Scout(1994) , License To Drive(1988), Lucas(1986) , Jumping Jack Flash(1986) , The Star Chamber(1983), The Pick Up Artist(1988)
I was lucky to find Airheads and PCU in a double pack several years back. Jumpin' Jack Flash was available on Tubi last year. I was able to watch it and glad that it's still a fun movie.
@@jesseswarbrick7895 isn't it great?!! I've been pleasantly surprised to see so many movies and shows on there that no one else has. In fact I finally was able to watch the Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeow movie, Yes, Madam, the other day because it's on tubi. Come to find out, it had an alternate title this entire time!
You are only like the 3rd person I've ever mention the 3rd cannonball run... Likely because it wasn't technically released as cannonball run 3 but as Speed Zone I believe, and no one saw it. But John candy and Eugene levey killed it. Pcu and freaked are both super under rated.
Blood In Blood Out was awesome when it was released...flew under the radar lol. IIRC HBO use to play Ricochet on heavy rotation back in the day. I remember watching it repeatedly because nothing else was on and who doesn't love John Lithgow and Denzel?
Blood in blood out is on RUclips. The version uploaded by DASH is the best. I found DVD at Walmart years ago it was bundled with American Me. I met Damian Chapa who played Miklo a few years back when he was doing a meet and greet tour. Love that movie. The guy who played Big Al passed away this week.
Most of Jackie Chan movies from the 90s like Who I am, Mr nice guy, Police story 3 & First Strike, Drunken Master 2 and also the first Project A from the 80s
I had seen wired the book in searches somewhere as it was searching for Condon, Ness, weird magazine, but I was surprised to know that there was a dark drama available about John Belushi. Thank you.
Two great Irish movies, I went Down (1997) and Eat The Peach (1986) are well regarded in Ireland and still rare as rocking horse shite on DVD. They sometimes crop up on RUclips or on TV, though. Both are worth a look.
To this day, I've still never been able to get through Wired and I've tried at least twice ; it really is that awful. I can see why Belushi's familly and Aykroyd were unhappy with it, but at the same time, I feel bad for Chiklis ; even though he eventually managed to put the film behind him, he found it difficult to get work for some time after its release.
It's funny, but as I'm watching this video, I'm checking Amazon for each of the titles and wow! Nearly every single one is available to buy on DVD or Blu-ray or rent! So much for being "hard to find". LOL!!
I feel fortunate that I have good copies of PCU, 28 Days Later and Shoot To Kill. Thanks for confirming my commitment I spent a decade on was well spent. So many movies cannot be found streaming and are no longer in print on DVD.
I once rented 2 movies to watch over a weekend. 'Can't Buy Me Love' with Amada Petersen and Patrick Dempsey and 'Three for the Road' with Charlie Sheen. Both seem pretty hard to find, particularly the latter film.
I'm a huge physical media collector, so I love these videos. I didn't know Dogma was hard to find...I feel like I see it in certain stores, but I'm probably wrong!
@@BishopWalters12 There's a store that sells used media near my house, and they often don't know or care what things are worth, I'll keep my eye out. Also, I love thriftbooks!
ok, these are impossible to find now on streaming or Bluray, Silver Streak (1976), Nickelodeon (1976), Marci X (2003), Happiness (1998) and A Wedding (1978).
Add "Dark Blood" which was River Phoenix's last film. It was unfinished, with River still needing to film four scenes. It was never released because the family thinks it puts River in a bad light (he was playing a nasty character in the film) and it would be cashing in on River's death.
I'm ready for it. My recent theory is that it's of questionable taste but not as bad as people claim. The few reports from people who've seen it are tainted from its reputation. Imagine a Jackson Pollack painting. 2 tour groups are being introduced to it. 1 group is told it's a bold expression of blah blah etc... the other group is told it was voted the worst painting in history. The 2 groups will have drastically different reactions to the same thing.
PCU was so ahead of it's time.. It's like Idiocracy.. It predicted the future. Ricochet to me is one of Denzels greatest performances. It lead the way for him to become The Equalizer.
The Legend of The Lone Ranger (1981). It stars Jason Robards and Christopher Lloyd. I've seen this film broadcast on TV, but is not available for streaming; nor is it available on DVD/Blu-Ray. Heartbeeps (1981). Stars Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters. I saw this film quite a bit on cable TV in the 80's. Not even sure if it was ever made for DVD/Blu-Ray or even streaming.
Pcu is one of those movies I can remember like yesterday seeing on the shelf of blockbuster that I always wondered about but nva rented. I gotta find shoot to kill, that looks really good
Great list. I think about 'Shoot to Kill' a few times a year, it disappeared from public conciousness. That, Cannonball & Cocoon I haven't seen since the late 80's. How has a modern Cannonball not been made? It's a great formula and not really the kind of movie people would have a problem with remakes/ sequels.
It’s difficult to find “Name of the Rose” with Sean Connery and Christian Slater. Also with Slater is “Pump Up the Volume” and is difficult. So is “Foul Play” with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawk. And finally, “Bat-21” with Gene Hackman.
Dogma is free on YT. I love the classic PCU, hilarious. Have the double disc of PCU/ Airheads. Have 28 days later on VHS and DVD, great movie imo. Would love to see you highlight Jesus' Son, Kalifornia or Wristcutters: A Love Story. Hard to find now.
Shoot!! I have most of these!! Dogma, Cannonball and PCU are all stuff I would watch with my family!! Blood in , Blood out is a friend group favorite!! I’ve seen it so many times, that my friends and I use those lines just in conversation. My Hispanic friends at work love when I whip out lines from that one!! I call my friend Miguel , Chewy every day!! He calls me the same!! We know it’s not right, but still fun!
Here is it list and it’s frustrating. 1. Loverboy with Patrick Dempsey, 2. Only you with Helen hunt and Andrew McCarthy 3. Camp cuccamunga but was renamed how I spent my summer vacation featuring a very young Jennifer Aniston 4. Good King Wenceslas with the late Jonathan Brandis.
For me the one that drives me crazy is Gleaming the Cube. Christian Slater Skateboarding Murder Mystery (with Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen doing his stunts and Tony and most of the Bones Brigade in it as well) and was filmed where I lived in HS in LA.
The Last Temptation of Christ. Nearly impossible to find. Excellent movie. (Side note: I love, love LOVE CannonBall Run!" must have seen it dozens of times as a kid, and single-handedly gave me the love of Ferrari's and Lamborghini's, it's also incredibly funny too!).
Dogma? Really? I still have my old 2-disc DVD. The corner of the box was chewed a little by my sister's dog, but it's otherwise still in pretty good shape. I had no idea it was rare.
Wow, Shoot To Kill. I'd nearly forgotten about that one. I'll have to dig and see if I still have my old tape that I recorded it from HBO. Probably looks terrible by now. lol
I actually recently saw Ricochet, randomly was given to me in a pile of DVD's - great action flick! PCU on the other hand has escaped me since I was a teen watching every dumb college comedy I could get my hands on!
I have Cannonball Run on bluray. You can get it still on bluray new in a combo package as well. One that I've been looking for: The Last Chase with Lee Majors. I have it on VHS...
Blood In, Blood Out.. Wow! An amazimg flick! Absolitely had to get it on DVD back in the day after seeing it on TV. Great movie.👍🏻👍🏻 And; no. Never been into blu-ray myself..😂
Before this video came out, I recently found out that 28 Days Later and apparently its sequel 28 Weeks Later is hard to find when I was just "window shopping" through eBay one day which is weird since I wasn't even looking for those movies! I'm glad I still have my DVD copy of them. Actually, I have the double feature copy where both movies came together. I brought it back in 2009 at Walmart for only a few bucks. I 'm sure glad I did. Funny enough, it was around this time that 28 Days Later and its sequel were airing on TV a lot. Now, the movie and its sequel seemed to have disappeared. They don't even show it around the Halloween season anymore.
I was lucky enough to find a dvd of Cannonball Run, for very cheap. Hey, would you guys consider doing a video over classic films, that for whatever reason, have never been released on any home video format. Like the 1959 remake of the Blue Angel, Slow Dancing in the Big City, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Freckles, Shock Treatment (the 20th Century Fox film from 1964, not the 1981 film), etc. ?
*”Can you blow me where the pampers is?”* quote from PCU lives rent free in my memory. 😂
GUTTER IS A TOOL! I swear, if I ever get to meet Jon Favreau, that's the first thing I'm gonna say.
My friends and I watched PCU so much that we use those lines and casual conversation
"MEAT TOSSER! STOP THE VIOLATOR!"
Jon Favreau's best role
Found my original unopened blu ray copy of Dogma while moving recently. Someone told me it was a rare find.
All this does is confirm that buying physical media is the way to go.
Want to sell it?
Glad to have my special edition DVD but I'm always keeping an eye out for the BluRay.
Dogma sucks
I own Dogma on physical too, 1st print.
@@Heyitsallgoodmandogma is available in full on RUclips
I know that Cannonball Run isn’t Citizen Cane, but I still find it funny. It even inspired Jackie Chan to show bloopers at the end of his films.
I had all of them on
VHS & original VHS tapes
along with the
GUMBALL RALLY
movies
Loved Gumball Rally!
I loved Cocoon as a kid in the 1980's.
PCU was such a fun movie to watch as a teen
I couldn't watch it in my 30s makes me depressed as hell I bought it for $2 but i busted it because i was pissed
Free Nelson Mandela!!!!! hahahahahahha
It’s interesting for kids. Most people don’t realize that back in the day the politically correct people were the stuffy republican upper echelon assholes.
How the tables have turned.
It disturbingly predicted the future. lol
@perrycoffey5410 I've been trying to rewatch it for well over 10 years now, and i simply can't find it. Damn thing was on every week for years when I was growing up
Still have my Dogma Special Edition & PCU DVDs.
PCU is a version of Animal House for a 90's audience.
Still relates well to today. To see where it all came from.
Dogma and the Buddy Christ was hilarious.
I still quote PCU. " COFFEE, COFFEE NOW!" and of course " Causeheads". You can find HQ dvd and blu rays of Cannonball Run, Corvette Summer, Hooper and a ton of obscure car movies at any major car show. I got my collection from the Pittsburgh World Of Wheels.
I have The Cannonball Run on Blu-Ray 📀
“Don’t be that guy” is my life mantra
Pins and needles!!!
You're wearing the shirt of the band. You're going to see....... don't be that guy😂
I use that coffee line too. Along with "you can major in Gameboy if you know how to bullshit".
Cannonball Run is on blu-ray since 2011
I know, I have the Blu-Ray myself 😁
31.04 baby
Yeah same.
Yep. I’d say the second movie needs a better US release. The there’s only a DVD with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
The first and the second one have been released on bluray

Its definitely not a mystery why that god awful trash fire Jerky Boys movie has never been released on dvd or blu-ray....That trash is god awful. they typically want to release things that the majority of people want, not just a handful of people
Jerky Boys not being released is a blessing. I'd be willing to bet Alan Arkin regretted making that "movie" till the day he died.

PCU is a great movie and I think many should watch today.

More relavent today than when released...

@@gregofcanada4494 That car chase is insane. Literal madness put on film.
I have PCU on DVD. Talk about being way ahead of it's time! Also Phoenix with Ray Liotta and many other great actors can be found on DvD but I don't see it often. Great flick.
I was lucky to find a double feature dvd with PCU and Airheads several years back when Walmart still carried a sizeable dvd section. (Man, I miss those 5$ bins.)
Two other DVDs i own that are hard to find are Trick or Treat, the 1986 horror movie with cameos from Ozzy and Gene Simmons, and The Worst Witch starring Fairuza Balk. Both i was incredibly lucky to get on amazon before prices skyrocketed.
Videos like this make me really happy that I have owned my copies of Dogma and Freaked on DVD's for decades. I find it strange when I see people on the internet talking about physical media being dead when there's literally millions of movie collectors that have been collecting these films longer than social media has existed. I have recently picked up several Blu-ray disks of some of my favorite films as a kid of the 80's. There will always be people willing to spend their money on films they want to watch as long as there are films still being put on physical media and people will want to re-watch them. This is the biggest problem with films these days, most films aren't worth watching more than once and are dated as soon as they are released. The true sign of a film that will remain timeless is how people will want to re-watch a film after the initial hype of their release has died down. It's because of physical media that many films have become cult classics years or even decades after their theatrical release. Even a film that appears to be successful can age poorly and will eventually be forgotten in time.
Some more hard to find movies Airheads(1994) , The Scout(1994) , License To Drive(1988), Lucas(1986) , Jumping Jack Flash(1986) , The Star Chamber(1983), The Pick Up Artist(1988)
I was lucky to find Airheads and PCU in a double pack several years back.
Jumpin' Jack Flash was available on Tubi last year. I was able to watch it and glad that it's still a fun movie.
@cinema_chic I love Tubi, so many hard to find movies on there, especially 80s and 90s movies
@@jesseswarbrick7895 isn't it great?!! I've been pleasantly surprised to see so many movies and shows on there that no one else has. In fact I finally was able to watch the Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeow movie, Yes, Madam, the other day because it's on tubi. Come to find out, it had an alternate title this entire time!
Clancy Brown's hair 😅
You are only like the 3rd person I've ever mention the 3rd cannonball run... Likely because it wasn't technically released as cannonball run 3 but as Speed Zone I believe, and no one saw it.
But John candy and Eugene levey killed it.
Pcu and freaked are both super under rated.
Blood In Blood Out was awesome when it was released...flew under the radar lol. IIRC HBO use to play Ricochet on heavy rotation back in the day. I remember watching it repeatedly because nothing else was on and who doesn't love John Lithgow and Denzel?
Blood in blood out is on RUclips. The version uploaded by DASH is the best. I found DVD at Walmart years ago it was bundled with American Me. I met Damian Chapa who played Miklo a few years back when he was doing a meet and greet tour. Love that movie. The guy who played Big Al passed away this week.
Most of Jackie Chan movies from the 90s like Who I am, Mr nice guy, Police story 3 & First Strike, Drunken Master 2 and also the first Project A from the 80s
I had seen wired the book in searches somewhere as it was searching for Condon, Ness, weird magazine, but I was surprised to know that there was a dark drama available about John Belushi. Thank you.
Two great Irish movies, I went Down (1997) and Eat The Peach (1986) are well regarded in Ireland and still rare as rocking horse shite on DVD. They sometimes crop up on RUclips or on TV, though. Both are worth a look.
I'm lucky I have kept my dogma special edition that I bought when it first came out on DVD and I just recently found a copy of shoot to kill on DVD
Can we all agree that Disney owning the rights to so many movies sucks?
I have PCU on DVD. still enjoy watching it.
Cannonball Run was literally on tv two days ago.
Just rewatched Cannonball Run and as kid loved this movie. Now not so much, what a piece of crap doesn’t hold up whatsoever.
To this day, I've still never been able to get through Wired and I've tried at least twice ; it really is that awful. I can see why Belushi's familly and Aykroyd were unhappy with it, but at the same time, I feel bad for Chiklis ; even though he eventually managed to put the film behind him, he found it difficult to get work for some time after its release.
It's funny, but as I'm watching this video, I'm checking Amazon for each of the titles and wow! Nearly every single one is available to buy on DVD or Blu-ray or rent! So much for being "hard to find". LOL!!
This video is Clickbait CRAP!.
Dogma is NIT hard to find on DVD. It isn't rare whatsoever, that is such a BS. MYTH!
Agreed. I am finding over 80%.@@GaryTongue-to3pw
Agreed. I am finding over 80% online.
I feel fortunate that I have good copies of PCU, 28 Days Later and Shoot To Kill. Thanks for confirming my commitment I spent a decade on was well spent. So many movies cannot be found streaming and are no longer in print on DVD.
I once rented 2 movies to watch over a weekend. 'Can't Buy Me Love' with Amada Petersen and Patrick Dempsey and 'Three for the Road' with Charlie Sheen. Both seem pretty hard to find, particularly the latter film.
I saw CBML on Sky Movies in the late 80's. One DVD I found hard to find was Moving with Richard Pryor. I thought it was under-rated.
"Three for the Road" can currently be bought as a manufactured-on-demand DVD as a double feature with a film called "Battle Truck".
@@caeserromero3013: Yeah , ”Moving” is such a Pryor golden nugget. I love that movie. Now I’m on a quest to get it. (That lawnmower hahahaha)
@@raggeragnar "Well, choke ma chicken!" 🤣
You can pick most of these up for a couple of £ in CEX here in the UK??? - Not that hard to find really!
Johnny Dangerously is extremely hard to find
I have Shoot to kill Aka Deadly pursuit in the UK and both Cannon Ball run 1/2 are both out at the end of January according to Amazon in the UK.
Ken Russell's film have a hard time on physical media ...Still waiting for the Music lovers and the Devils on Blu Ray..
I'm a huge physical media collector, so I love these videos. I didn't know Dogma was hard to find...I feel like I see it in certain stores, but I'm probably wrong!
Harvey Weinstein owns the rights; I got my DVD off Thiftbooks last summer for about $15.
@@BishopWalters12 There's a store that sells used media near my house, and they often don't know or care what things are worth, I'll keep my eye out. Also, I love thriftbooks!
I actually have dogma and 28 days later on DVD I stopped buying Blu-ray a while back, but I think I might start buying stuff on DVD again
Scavenger Hunt. It was a brilliant quotable comedy with probably one of the best ensemble casts in the history of movies!
ok, these are impossible to find now on streaming or Bluray, Silver Streak (1976), Nickelodeon (1976), Marci X (2003), Happiness (1998) and A Wedding (1978).
Mr. Horn, the full 3 hour TV miniseries starring David Carradine, and Richard Widmark.
Sling Blade is hard to find
So glad I have it on DVD. It's so good.
Freaked on DVD is chocked full of extras. Seriously worth the get.
I found a double DVD package of Dogma at a flea market one Sunday 20 years ago now. Had no idea then it would be so difficult to find now.
THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED
Never released in any form.
Apparently it will be released for the first time this year.
Add "Dark Blood" which was River Phoenix's last film.
It was unfinished, with River still needing to film four scenes.
It was never released because the family thinks it puts River in a bad light (he was playing a nasty character in the film) and it would be cashing in on River's death.
I'm ready for it. My recent theory is that it's of questionable taste but not as bad as people claim.
The few reports from people who've seen it are tainted from its reputation.
Imagine a Jackson Pollack painting. 2 tour groups are being introduced to it. 1 group is told it's a bold expression of blah blah etc... the other group is told it was voted the worst painting in history.
The 2 groups will have drastically different reactions to the same thing.
its free on communisttube my son@@dhenderson1810
Jumpin' Jack Flash and Splash were briefly released on Blu-ray but are now out of print and hard to find.
I have PCU on dvd bought it a few years ago on Amazon used
I have 3 of these - Dogma, Cannonball and PCU. Neat video.
PCU was so ahead of it's time.. It's like Idiocracy.. It predicted the future. Ricochet to me is one of Denzels greatest performances. It lead the way for him to become The Equalizer.
The Legend of The Lone Ranger (1981). It stars Jason Robards and Christopher Lloyd. I've seen this film broadcast on TV, but is not available for streaming; nor is it available on DVD/Blu-Ray.
Heartbeeps (1981). Stars Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters. I saw this film quite a bit on cable TV in the 80's. Not even sure if it was ever made for DVD/Blu-Ray or even streaming.
Both Legend of the Lone Ranger and Heartbeeps have Blu-ray and DVD releases and neither are currently OOP. So not terribly expensive.
Pcu is one of those movies I can remember like yesterday seeing on the shelf of blockbuster that I always wondered about but nva rented. I gotta find shoot to kill, that looks really good
Jon Favreau plays a college stoner..
The first Cannonball Run was briefly available for digital purchase on Amazon a year ago, but then it was removed.
The Pirate Movie was an adaptation of The Pirates of Penzance. It’s on RUclips, but not available anywhere else
Great list. I think about 'Shoot to Kill' a few times a year, it disappeared from public conciousness. That, Cannonball & Cocoon I haven't seen since the late 80's.
How has a modern Cannonball not been made? It's a great formula and not really the kind of movie people would have a problem with remakes/ sequels.
PCU has been on my list for years!!
It’s difficult to find “Name of the Rose” with Sean Connery and Christian Slater. Also with Slater is “Pump Up the Volume” and is difficult. So is “Foul Play” with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawk. And finally, “Bat-21” with Gene Hackman.
Pump Up the Volume has been on Blu-ray from Warner Archive while Foul Play came out from Paramount over a year ago.
Dogma is free on YT. I love the classic PCU, hilarious. Have the double disc of PCU/ Airheads. Have 28 days later on VHS and DVD, great movie imo.
Would love to see you highlight Jesus' Son, Kalifornia or Wristcutters: A Love Story. Hard to find now.
Pump Up The Volume with Christian Slater was a 90s cult classic that is nowhere to be found today
I have it on DVD still.
The Last Chase (1981) is very hard to find streaming or on DVD. It's about a post pandemic USA that bans gas fueled cars.
Dogma i think is still on Utube
Shoot!! I have most of these!!
Dogma, Cannonball and PCU are all stuff I would watch with my family!!
Blood in , Blood out is a friend group favorite!!
I’ve seen it so many times, that my friends and I use those lines just in conversation.
My Hispanic friends at work love when I whip out lines from that one!!
I call my friend Miguel , Chewy every day!!
He calls me the same!!
We know it’s not right, but still fun!
Funnily enough, Cannonball Run 1&2 have just been re-released on Blu-ray in the UK today.
I just bought 28 Days Later used on Blu Ray yesterday, along with 28 Weeks Later.
I bought both on blu ray a few months ago and they were relatively cheap
@@Dr.Dark78 nice. I had them both on DVD, though I lent one of them and never got it back. Felt it was time to upgrade.
Here is it list and it’s frustrating. 1. Loverboy with Patrick Dempsey, 2. Only you with Helen hunt and Andrew McCarthy 3. Camp cuccamunga but was renamed how I spent my summer vacation featuring a very young Jennifer Aniston 4. Good King Wenceslas with the late Jonathan Brandis.
"Blood in, Blood out" is called "Bound by Honor" on IMDB.
Or by it's actual title, Blood In, Blood Out.
For me the one that drives me crazy is Gleaming the Cube. Christian Slater Skateboarding Murder Mystery (with Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen doing his stunts and Tony and most of the Bones Brigade in it as well) and was filmed where I lived in HS in LA.
Another Christian Slater gem is Pump up the Volume. I don't think it has ever been released on Blu ray and isn't available for streaming.
The Last Temptation of Christ. Nearly impossible to find. Excellent movie. (Side note: I love, love LOVE CannonBall Run!" must have seen it dozens of times as a kid, and single-handedly gave me the love of Ferrari's and Lamborghini's, it's also incredibly funny too!).
eBay has a lot of criterion collection dvds
Dogma? Really? I still have my old 2-disc DVD. The corner of the box was chewed a little by my sister's dog, but it's otherwise still in pretty good shape. I had no idea it was rare.
The Blu Ray is hard to find, which is the whole point of this video series.
You used to be able to find all this stuff on DVD and Blu-ray at your local swap. Meet brand new in the packaging
Wow, Shoot To Kill. I'd nearly forgotten about that one. I'll have to dig and see if I still have my old tape that I recorded it from HBO. Probably looks terrible by now. lol
Blood In Blood Out is amazing! Ricochet is great too. Would buy both of these physically in a heartbeat.
Cannonball Run is readily available on Blu-Ray. I picked up a copy at my local JB Hi-Fi
I actually recently saw Ricochet, randomly was given to me in a pile of DVD's - great action flick! PCU on the other hand has escaped me since I was a teen watching every dumb college comedy I could get my hands on!
I have Cannonball Run on bluray. You can get it still on bluray new in a combo package as well. One that I've been looking for: The Last Chase with Lee Majors. I have it on VHS...
PCU was such a classic movie but it felt like there was never a place in the world for it
Blood In, Blood Out.. Wow! An amazimg flick! Absolitely had to get it on DVD back in the day after seeing it on TV. Great movie.👍🏻👍🏻
And; no. Never been into blu-ray myself..😂
"Thursday" is another hard to find gem.
Got Dogma on DVD surely. A buddy of mine even has the VHS somewhere I bet...
Time Rider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann is hard to find. I remember loving it as a kid, but I m not paying $40ish to relive it.
Before this video came out, I recently found out that 28 Days Later and apparently its sequel 28 Weeks Later is hard to find when I was just "window shopping" through eBay one day which is weird since I wasn't even looking for those movies! I'm glad I still have my DVD copy of them. Actually, I have the double feature copy where both movies came together. I brought it back in 2009 at Walmart for only a few bucks. I 'm sure glad I did. Funny enough, it was around this time that 28 Days Later and its sequel were airing on TV a lot. Now, the movie and its sequel seemed to have disappeared. They don't even show it around the Halloween season anymore.
I was lucky enough to find a dvd of Cannonball Run, for very cheap. Hey, would you guys consider doing a video over classic films, that for whatever reason, have never been released on any home video format. Like the 1959 remake of the Blue Angel, Slow Dancing in the Big City, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Freckles, Shock Treatment (the 20th Century Fox film from 1964, not the 1981 film), etc. ?
"Cactus in the Snow" starring Richard Thomas. Early '70s flick I still haven't found. Saw it when first released in theatres.
