Inspired by some recent threads, I have to ask:

Is a bad DVD release better than no release at all? There are some movies that just don't get the all-star treatment as the big blockbusters... I guess some release is better than nothing at all, but it still leaves me wanting better quality sometimes!

Some movies I'd like to see remastered and re-released:

Joysticks (current disc looks pretty bad - it's 4x3 not OAR, dark picture, VHS seems superior to this)

Just One of The Guys (current disc looks great, but its 4x3 - not OAR)

Can't Buy Me Love (current disc looks great, but its 4x3 - not OAR)

My Science Project (current disc is OAR but not anamorphic, colors look pretty washed out)

What movies would you like to see redone? I'm sure I'll think of more [Smile]

For me it's: Trick or Treat (1986)

This awesome film did get a release in 2002 (but it was completely lacking in special features) so it was strictly a bare bones effort. Cult movie company Anchorbay were all set to release a 20th anniversary special edition version in 2006 but had to abandon it when they encountered problems with the music rights. Talk about a major bummer! [Frown]

I don't like when they're digital remastered. Why can't they just convert them to DVD and leave the rest alone. I don't like to watch an 80's movie that looks like a new one. So I seldom buy them on DVD because I can't trust what they have done to the movie. Like my favorite movie Legend is all ruined because of that. I hope the DVD Ultimate Edition is better. Now, I don't think many people agree with me on this, though . . .

I kind of agree Te-em. I do like buying my 80's movies on DVD, simply because they take up less room, but I don't mind buying the cheaper versions (ie, in the $5.00 bin) because I like the grittiness of the old eighties movies. It is nice, though, to get extra features that tell you lots more about your old favorites.

I would like to see Stephen King do a commentary on Maximum Overdrive, since it is the only one of his works he has actually directed (poorly or not, I still like it).

The DVDs released by Horse of Horror are the best. You can't tell if it's a DVD or VHS when you watch it. They just converted it into DVD format and left it that way. Even the cover is from a VHS. It says cassette at the back cover even if it is a disc!

2010...I believe the version out on DVD is non-anamorphic and if its not from the 80's...its close enough [Big Grin]

Definitely agree on 2010, the DVD was released in 2000, maybe they're waiting until 2010 to re-release 2010? it's only a couple of years away now...
