David Lynch's Lost Highway. There has not been a U.S. release, and the Canadian one sucks ass. 
Also, the rest of the La Femme Nikita tv series needs to be released. They released season 1. Then they finally released season 2, only to recall it before it was in most stores (due to liscensing problems with the music I believe). That was almost a year ago, and they still havn't put season 2 back on shelves. I managed to snag season 2 back at the aborted release, so that's not really my problem. The problem is, if they can't get season 2 out the door, when am I ever gonna see season's 3, 4, and 5?

Criterion's supposedly got this on tap for mid-year.
Matthew Barney's The Cremaster Cycle. Palm Pictures was supposed to bring it out last year, but they've been screwing around for some reason. The only part of the five-film series you can buy is a 30-minute excerpt from Cremaster 3, but even that's out of print now.

cant seem to find the Frightners DVD anywhere

Check Wal-Mart or something for the Frighteners. I see it's hideous abomination of a cover all over the place... If you can wait, though, there's a special edition in the works (along with - finally - The Game).

I think the mail-away offer is dead, but you can still find the "Studio Classics" box set that it came in for around $20 or so. A great deal at that price, and you can just Ebay the other discs from the set if you already have or don't want them.

What exactly have you heard regarding a "Special Edition"? I've been waiting on Lost Highway's DVD release for a good long while.
Is your copy of Lost Highway the Canadian version? How do like it? I heard that version was barely better than VHS, otherwise I would already own it.

Criterion will most likely release a better, two-disc version of Seven Samurai sometime this year. And if you want a better transfer of Ran, get the r3hk release. Looks much better than the recent r1 Masterworks dvd: http://www.layoyo.com/cgi-bin/ncomm...&prmenbr=152&CGRY_NUM=251&LANGUAGE=1&curr=USD
Cover looks the same, but the transfer is not. I have both versions.

On the IMDB boards someone was mentioning a Special Edition, sorry but I don't remember what they said, I just checked and can't seem to find the thread.
My version is the Canadian edition, and the first 45 minutes of it are almost unwatchable, the sound quality is just awful, and the first 45 minutes are so dark, and this DVD doesn't handle it too well. But when Pete kicks in, it looks alright. Not DVD quality, but better than VHS.
I just wanted the movie. And I would never buy a VHS.
Day of the Beast
Very important minutes such as an old woman crying, "I lived through Nagasaki, I don't think I can handle something like this."
The excised line draws a very solid line through the atom bomb metaphor of Godzilla and is a pretty good indication that the people who released the movie in America didn't think the public was ready to see the face Japanese suffering that soon after WWII.
