Recently I saw a Two disc Collectors edition of August Underground for $70.00 at Ebay. I was tempted to bid. But just above my economy at the moment.

You can also get bootleg copies for $20. I remenber seen the set in a comic book convention.
I did a little search and it seems like that $30 is a cheaper bargain for the 2 disc edition. I'm considering ordering very soon.
Just yesterday I received my copy of Love, Strange love on the mail. Wow! Good film...it's like Salo but without the violence and torture scenes. Best coming of age film IMO.
I'm now currently in the hunt to get a DVD copy of Titicut Follies. So, yeah..that one may not be as easy to find and might even impose a challenge.

Titicut Follies, I'm not sure that even exists on DVD. From what I've heard in order to get that movie you have to order it directly from the director, who owns the rights to all of his documentaries, and he charges like $300 for them.
I got extremely lucky with that, was able to watch it in a film class I took a few years ago, astounding documentary, very tragic.
It was available on Google Video a while back, which allowed my mom to watch it, which she'd wanted to do since I originally told her about it after I first watched it, it may still be on there.
Also, check PBS, I hear they show it from time to time.

Check Amazon for release dates and availability.

That is sooo cool BF! You got to see it. Would have to love to be in that class just for that reason.
You know me...I'm a stubborn Dwarf. When there is an object of desire...I go for it. I do remenber dvd aficionado had a Region 2 copy a long time ago. Recently I went back to track it..but it's not there anymore.
I'm sure there is a copy out there....I'll find it.
Yeah, I'd never heard of it at the time, but he said that when he shows it most of the class leaves because it's too much for them.
The class started out full, by the end there was only me and like 4 other people there.
I went home and looked at some info online about the movie, and discovered how rare it is and how so many people have been trying to track it down just to watch it once. Just lucked out.
But yeah, if a DVD exists I'm sure you can find it, best of luck to you, buddy. Great movie.
Re: Very Rare DVD's You want in your collection.

During my recent trip to Comic Con I got some info on some of the titles I been looking for awhile. I was given the address of retailer site which carries two of the titles in my original list. I found Vase de Noces for Under $20. Then I found Pixote for $50. These films were never release in the US and UK and also the content of some scenes in the films may NEVER allowed for a general release. So I been doing good in progress to complete my list.
I did locate and purchase a few Spaghetti Western titles which are hard to find.
