What movies do you think deserve to have a Special edition, Collectors, Deluxe, Extended, or multiple disc sets?

I think all of Stanley Kubrick's films should have them. The original TCM should have a 4 disc Collector Edition (just like Dawn of the Dead). Braveheart should have an anniversary disc set. Oh, and now that PJ is finished with King Kong. He should work on the rumor Grand Special Collectors Edition LOTR Trilogy 14 disc set. More is always good!

What movies do you think deserved it?

Sybil should get one, at least a DVD RELEASE!!!! all I can find it burnt copies avaliable, I want a proper dvd of the film. Wonderful film.

Anyone know if this will get a dvd release?

Star Wars Original Trilogy, Terminator 1-2, Robocop Trilogy...as for a CGI fix.

A 4 disc TCM isn't likely, namely because there are 3 cuts of DOTD, which would suppliment a 4 disc release, whereas TCM has one. The Pioneer Special Edition is just fine. That said, there is an R2 TCM 2 disc release.

Star Wars OT SE has been done, it's the boxed set, Terminator got 2 SE releases already, but a 2 disc would be nice, and T2 was released in 3 different 2 Disc Editions, and they absolutely cannot get any better.

Robocop trilogy..meh..the Criterion "Robocop" is grand, and the sequels don't have a big enough following to merit an SE, especially given the Trilogy boxed set was just released.

I'd like to see a SE of "UHF", however.

i want to see Peter Jackson go back and package Braindead and Bad Taste in a DVD 2 disk pack. i'm sure he'd get a good reaction from the horror community if he released it

I'd like to see some John Hughes SEs, not some stupid box set that just includes the movies you can buy seperately.

I'd like a SE of Hellraiser III. I love the movie but the current DVD available is just awful.

I dunno... the current UHF is pretty good already. It's a shame the deleted scenes aren't separated though.

Excellent DVD topic WD!

The Deer Hunter Finally got it's SE, so I'm happy there.

But I would have to say, Equilbrium needs it's 2 Disc SE.

I'm not sure, But I don't think Memento has a SE.

Also, 'Serenity' Needs a DC.

It does.

They need to re-realease A Clockwork Orange's CE.

Off the top of my head, these need the SE treatment:
Mulholland Drive
Blue Velvet
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Platoon
The Thin Red Line (1998)
American Beauty
The Pianist
Adaptation
28 Days Later

Hell, yeah, it does. I got it for $4 the other day. It's packaged like the 'Seven" 2 Disc is, except that it's a patient file, complete with notes and a stickypad, lol.

ACO, Shining, and FMJ are all getting 2 disc SE's in 2006. The latest release of "Platoon" is an SE, and it's loaded. Also, there is a 3 Disc edition of "The Pianist", which includes the soundtrack. I own it.

Thanks, never knew that I owned the Platton SE.....

Kill Bill DVDs in Australia new a MUCH better release. Such as a 2 disc edition.

Also, This doesn't really fit as a Special Edition. But, you know how they have the SNL best of farley, best of farrel, best of belushi and what not. Well, we need an entire DVD covering all the SNL celebrity Jeopardy's. Good laughs right There, TREBECK!

There is a beautiful region 3 edition that I hope to get in the next few months, have attached a photo of it.




That is a fabulous edition, really glad I have it on dvd.

Yeah, with the new set of SNL DVDs, they haven't been doing any that aren't just focused on one person like Presidential Bash 2000 and Game Show Parodies.

And I'd like a Best of Norm Macdonald.

The Breakfast Club
Creepshow
Four Rooms
Misery
Murder in the First
Porky's
Scent of a Woman

i second that, our versions are shit

I think only Japan got a kick ass Kill Bill DVD edition. The U.S. version was pretty empty. Needed more...

You know Tarantino is going for the double dip with Kill Bill, just like all of his other movies. He's a good director, but he's greedy and full of himself.

Let's be fair.

* For starters, he's only directed 5 movies, and to his credit, "Jackie Brown" was initially released as a 2 disc SE.

* Miramax, not Tarantino himself, oversees the DVD releases of the films they purchase the rights to. Including the extra material.

* Miramax is owned by..surprise, surprise, Disney. If you're not familiar wirh Disney's underhanded tactics when it comes to Home Video and DVD sales, Google "Disney Vault", and see what you get.

As far as Tarantino being full of himself, that's more or less a personal observation, that really shouldn't be taken into account when discussing DVD distribution. I find him to be very selfless, looking at what he's done for the movie industry, and his participation in funding countless movies for others in the U.S.

Ah, okay. It's Disney that's greedy, not Tarantino. I didn't realize 'til you said something that Miramax owns all of his movies.

But wasn't there a really old Jackie Brown bare-bones DVD years ago? I could've sworn there was.

I think Australia has it. I don't re-call seeing a 2 disc edition of it here.

I could listen to Tarantino talk forever.

That's why we have a Tarantino forum!

Very true.

So, I guess that it's inevitable that Kill Bill will get the SE treatment, but will it still be as two separate movies, or will volumes 1 and 2 be integrated into one long ass movie and recut? Personally, I hope for the latter.

It's being re-cut for a theatrical re-release, as one movie, with an intermission. DVD will probably be along the same lines. If you ask me, the two movies are too different to try and put together. 1's a balls out revenge flick, 2 is a straight up drama.

All of Kubrick's films. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dead Alive, Falling Down, NeverEnding Story, Kill Bill, Better Off Dead, The Elephant Man, Childs Play, In The Mouth Of Madness, Don't Look Now, Braveheart.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Only...............Better Off Dead? Don't get me wrong I like it, but isn't it a little far fetched for a SE release? I can't think of a valid reason to. LOL. As old school as it is.

It's just as deserving as any other movie that get's a SE DVD. It's a great, classic 80's comedy.

Dead Alive and Child's Play, YES! I hate that Child's Play is only available in full screen and Dead Alive, my favorite zombie movie, only has a bare-bones edition.

As for TCM, I believe the one with the chainsaw on the cover is considered the "special edition". It came out when the remake did, didn't it?

Just found out that Sybil is getting a 2 disc 30th Anniversary Edition release on May 23rd, so can't wait for that!

Yeah, but it's out of print now.

I think TCM deserves at least a 2 disc edition.

I'm sure they could, but the way they were written, it was to the extremes in each. I think Tarantino could throw something together.

Wow, you're right. Every TCM movie is still in print except the original; that's awful.

Yeah, it sucks. I have a really old, used DVD of TCM, like the old pioneer version before the black one with the chainsaw, and it's starting to show its age. I want a nice new edition.

I think both the original An American Tail and The Land Before Time deserved Special Collectors Editions DVD. But not the sequels...all of them were awful and lame.

As I remember the first sequel in both of those series were pretty decent.

I still prefer the originals. Another film that truly deserves a special edition should be Dirty Harry. Great film! controversial but quite good.

I don't recall much of An American Tail but I remember as a kid loving it when they added the little purple t-rex in Land Before Time 2. I remember getting really tired of it during Part 3 though.

The first Land Before Time was cute, and worth a watch, but I don't necessarily think that it deserves a special edition.

Rumors going around about a 25th anniversary Special Edition for Blade Runner. No release date set...temptative for 2007...I hope.

Finally Antonioni's The Passenger is getting a dvd release, so can't wait for that.

Another I wish would get a dvd release, because it's one of a few Ingmar Bergman films that I have not seen and really really want to, is Face To Face, would love this to be released on dvd. Suppose to be fabulous. Could also release the original cut of it as the tv series also, maybe a double disc package with the film version, and tv series version on discs.

They need to release

Italian Job
Spy Game
The Recruit

I'd like to see a SE of Training Day and The Breakfast Club. Come to think of it, the Bueller Bueller edition of Ferris Bueller's Day Off recently was released, so why wouldn't John Hughes do it with his other movies? I think it'll happen.

Judging by the features on the Bueller... Bueller... Edition, I don't think John Hughes had anything to do with it.

Yyyyyyah, I kinda havta agree there. But I'd still like to see his movies released with some special features rather than the bare bones editions I have (Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles). But what kind of special features can you have on movies like these other than restrospective docu's and some tributes to John Candy?

Beetlejuice deserves a Special Edition.

I have never been happier to upgrade a DVD.

The R2 "Hellraisers" are infinitely better, and from the looks of it, Anchor Bay is re-releasing the TSN version of 3, which was Fullscreen with no real extras.

http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/hellraiser-iii.html

No extras are apparent right now but the article does say it'll be in widescreen.

Fist of the North Star needs a SE, IMO. The original anime version, not that shitty live action adaptation.
