In addition to the obvious classics still not available on DVD ("King Kong", "Harry and Tonto", the Turner restoration of "Greed")
there are many lesser films that really should be issued in the DVD format. Three are:"Pride of the Marines", which traces a young man (John Payne, I think) through the late depression and into WW II, where he sees combat as a Marine and is severely injured.
"The Dark at the Top of the Stairs", the William Inge play about a turn of the century harness salesman (Robert Preston)whose career and marriage are under great duress (Eve Arden wonderful in this as a racist relative).
"A Death in the Family', the James Agee story about the effect on the prudish widow and small son of the death of their breadwinner (Preston again) in an auto accident.)
I'm sure other folks have contributions here (I'll add two more, the two versions of the Fanny Hurst tearjerker, "Back Street").
Follow Ups:
...the *original* "Godzilla", which critics opined was a whole different movie.clark
Yes, I recenmtly read an article/interview with the man at Warner's in charge of the restoration. They are taking their time to get it right. I have the Image laserdisc which is better than the Criterion but want it on DVD. The Image was mastered from a complete 35 mm print (i.e., no cuts) found in Switzerland in the eighties.
1967. George C. Scott plays a grifter passing on the art to a young apprentice (Michael Sarrazin).A performance that, along with his role in Dr. Strangelove, really makes you wish Scott had done more comedies.
