TWQ: Unobtainable DVDs

This week, TWQ (the Weekend Question) asks about those DVDs that you have never managed  to get.

Which movies or TV shows have you been unable to get on DVD as the studios have failed to put them out? List as many as you wish.

My answers are:

* Raise The Red Lantern: This Chinese movie has been on DVD, but with no subtitles or with a very poor print. The studio has never issued a 'proper' version, though it is much sought after.

* WKRP In Cincinnati. This gem never made it on to DVD.

* Midnight Caller. This drama was really well made. A complete box set would be fab.

Now it's over to you...

omg...I LOVED "WKRP in Cincinati"!!! And you're telling me it's not on DVD?!?! WTH!!! Drats! I remember staying up late to watch that on the weekends when I was a teen. I probably didn't get all the jokes, but that doesn't matter does it?!

WKRP is on DVD and you can get them on Netflicks. I ordered and watched them, they are still funny as hell expecially the Turkey episode.

I don't really have an answer to this one but I thought I'd pop in and say 'hello' anyway!

Speaking of DVDs, though, I got Amanda the first season of "Sherlock" on DVD for Christmas and we both absolutely love the show! Benedict Cumberbatch is a most excellent Sherlock and the guy who plays Watson ain't half bad either! Have you seen it yet?

Most of the stuff I like is on DVD but I can't afford them or they've gone out of print.

Yellow Submarine is out of print and my VHS is deader than spam.

The Monkees series is done in 2 boxsets that cost an arm and a leg a pop :(
