Region 1 Ducktales: The Movie (Theatrical Release)

It was released as a Disney Movie Club Exclusive, can't get it anywhere else. I might have an extra or two for sale (sealed) if anyone's interested.

I also have that, I kinda forgot it was pretty hard to come by.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

Commercially released? Probably the Murder, Anyone? laserdisc, which I own solely for its early glimpse of Lea Thompson hotness.

Off cable? Clint Eastwood's Breezy (edit) Whoops, it's out now!

Out of It (Jon Voight's first film), and The Race For the Double Helix.

Random TV? The episode of Late Night with David Letterman where Dave was at home waiting for the cable guy and Pee-wee Herman hosted.

I don't know how rare it is, but I have the R1 NTSC boxset of the complete "Robin of Sherwood" series that aired on Showtime (I think) back in the early/mid '80s. It was a good series.

Figures. I ended up importing the R2 UK finally last year because my player can change regions and swap PAL encodes back to NTSC. Leave it to Disney to make it a club exclusive. Sneaky bastards.

Feel like trading? I'd love to see that.

Probably my rarest DVD would be Moonwalker from Australia, becuase one I live in the USA, second it is not aviable in the USA, and third it is now out of print.

Let me see if I can hunt it down. This week's pretty busy.

What do you have in the way of tradeables? My wish list includes a couple of early Conans: the original Rebecca Romijn 'suck-n-blow' interview, and Andy's sting operation.

(edit) I found the old cassette, and it turns out I was combining two different eps in my memory. The 'guest-host' Late Night featured Larry "Bud" Melman, not Pee-wee. Interviews: Jack LaLanne and Brother Theodore. Great stuff.

Maybe Little Shop of Horrors with the alternate ending. I bought it the day it came out.

Also, Trilogy of Terror is pretty rare, I think.

I have the 1977 BBC Presentation of "Count Dracula" in PAL format with Louis Jourdan as the titular nemesis. This is perhaps the most faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel ... far more so than Coppola's film. This was briefly available but to my knowledge, remains OOP and is very difficult to find.

Edit: Oh, and silly me, I forgot Jean Shepard's four "Ralphie" films that appeared on PBS' American Playhouse. These are more stories about "Ralphie" from "A Christmas Story" at different times in his life. One of them, "The Great American Fouth Of July ... And Other Disasters" stars Matt Dillon as Ralphie in his High School years. The four films are:
The Phantom of the Open Hearth (1976)
The Great American Fourth of July ... (1982)
The Star-Crossed Romance of Josephine Cosnowski (1983)
and
Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss (1988)

Look 'em up on IMDB for details.

Wow, ADM, I'd LOVE to see you do a release of those. I remember seeing Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss one day on Nickelodeon's "Special Delivery" series. I still chuckle when I think about Jerry O'Connell and his friends carrying that refridgerator up those stairs. I hadn't heard about the others though! Has anyone ever bothered checking out the Keiran Culkin A Christmas Story follow-up, My Summer Story? I've always been morbidly curious.

- Within the Woods (by Sam Raimi, Pre Evil Dead, considered to be the prequel [Campbell is in it]) however it is the only shite quality one available.
- The Maxx (MTV Oddities)
- X Men All Seasons
- Salute Your Shorts
- Battle Royale 1 & 2 NTSC

(I also have many from people from here.. but I don't exactly feel like naming them)

I also like the old star trek definitive collection but I wouldn't consider it rare as it's sold on ebay on a wekkly basis

It's harder with Films than it is with music, could list a load of records limited to less than 15 copies. Not including workprints or bootlegs:

Official Music videos:
Legendary Pink Dots - Siren (99 copies)
Current 93 - Since Yesterday
Ministry - Incase You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up
Revolting Cocks - You God Damn Son Of A Bitch
Psychic TV - Live in Berlin

All long out of print and hard to find, often pricey.

Film-wise got the 16 disc, 4 box sets of Twin Peaks season 1 and 2 on laserdisc.
Got the tine box first edition of Battle Royale with the piece of film
Evil Dead book of the dead (Pal version)
None of these are super rare though, 1000s of copies of each were pressed

I bought it on a german car boot, it's an original copy of the master from the UFA-Plant where it was made. It showes the version of the movie before it was trimmed for the different countries. Unfortunately it's in german but it was much longer than the german dvd/vhs and ld versions. I have the GB DVDs somewhere, so I could compare these on a rainy weekend...

Hah, awesome! That's the last respones I expected to get!
I'm actually Andy Gowans if you're on Cloud Zero; I helped put out 9 Lives To Wonder and Tanith on vinyl, actually working right now updating the LPD discog (been sadled with keeping it up to date now). I'm hoping to catch the shows in Portland and Seattle - if I can get enough money to have a vacation this year. It's weird where fellow Dot-heads pop up - any chance I know you? I know a few LPD fans in Denver. I'm such a LPD geek I've seen them play 10 times in the past 4 years - you can't beat the dots live!

I have the Complete Battle of the Planets Series Japanese sound with subtitles, not the greatest but the best that is available at this point. Ladies and Gentleman the Rolling Stones concert video from 1972, the band when it really was the greatest rock and roll band in the world. If you have never seen them live from the Nick Taylor period then you will be very surprised how good they were. I was. (I also have the apple acetate of "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" which has the 3 verse of Sympathy for the Devil on CD very rare)

I have a very good quality of DVD of Super Bowl 3 when my Jets won their only Super Bowl with Joe Namath at the helm. I also have a very rare Color broadcast of Mohammed Ali vs. Brian London from 1966. It is cool to see Ali at his very peek in Color video, although Color TV was still in it infancy and it is not as vivid as today.

off-topic - ANDY! That's cool, I'm not sure if we meet but if so it would have been in Denver.
