wizard of oz
close encounters of the third kind

i know its a long list, and i'm not expecting them all to be preserved on dvd. in fact i know most are already on dvd, just not criterion. i just think people are missing out on the great criterion commentaries supplied for these films.

I can help you here. I did a DVD-R version of "Close Encounters" using ALL known footage from all known versions of the film, plus all the Criterion supplements. It's on 3 DVD-Rs.

Somewhere I also have a tape of all the supplements of the Criterion "Wizard Of Oz". It has yet to be converted to DVD-R, but it is a prime candidate for a future project.

If you want "Close Encounters", this is no problem since this project was done a couple of years ago.

Right now I'm working a mammoth project...the reconstruction of the historic "Live Aid" concert. But if you're interested in "Close Encounters", I can set aside some time for you. Just
get in touch with me at hiphats@comcast.net and we'll talk terms privately.
