Battletech
Exo-squad
x-men evolution season 3&4
Wheel of time
Crystal shard and the rest
a good Dungeons and dragons movie
Fray
Mechwarrior(a new and improved Battletech)
City of heroes
Shadowrun
the Honor Herington series
A new and good Star Trek
that should do for a start

As for the Starship Troopers fan. Look for Roughnecks: the starship trooper chronicles. Its from the people who did reboot. Kinda between the movie and the book. Tmurrie,Shadow raiders rocks.

Just two quick additions...

Robin Hood: Men in Tights - WHY is this not on DVD yet? I mean, according to Amazon not even being worked on)

Brotherhood of the Wolf, Collector's Edition - By the time I decided I wanted this movie, both the regular and collector's edition were not available on Amazon. The collector's edition is way too expensive, too.

Wow - thanks for the flashback - yes, I'd love to see this again. Jan Hooks as Darla, almost forgot about that. (We lived in Georgia from 1979-1983.)

There are two sets I am dying to get if they would ever become available:

Due South
and
Night Court

(I miss Night Court so much!)

Packer fans welcome.
All others tolerated.

Or a kind of fill your own dvd like they do with music cds. Your own personal "best of" - which could easily be used as you describe.

terry - who couldn't watch Sentinel even for Peter Wingfield...

This thread makes me sad - all the good stuff that isn't available when so much drek is sitting on the shelves of video stores.

My list of real stuff:

Hey Dude (an old Nickelodean show) just to see the look on my daughter's face when I gave it to her.

The Mickey Mouse Club (the Britney, Justin, Cristina version on the Disney channel) see above. I have such fond memories of that show. The one thing I could threaten to ground the girl from and it worked. [evil mom moment]

Belle and Sebastian - the French cartoon series. My husband even liked this one.

Hamlet - Branagh, the technology is here now! No more excuses.

Time Trax - okay, now it's clear that I have extremely eclectic taste (or none), this one is a guilty pleasure. Rewatching a tape recently, it's better than I remember but then, after years of reality tv, anything would be.

Maverick - the series (and a separate dvd, with lots of dish from James Garner on the legal issues or just lots of extra James Garner)

Kung Fu - where is my season 2 and 3?

Now and Again - may CBS rot in hell for not doing a tv movie to resolve the cliffhanger. (And does anyone have the book virus episode on vcd or tape?)

Which segues nicely into my fantasy list of TV movie sequels/dvds for the following shows:

Dark Angel

Highlander: Raven (Nick kicks Amanda's behind, with lots of Paris scenery in the background)

Quantum Leap - one where Sam makes it home!

Methos - the Watcher years?

B5 Crusade - the cure is found, does anyone care?

And finally, one I'll never get but would like anyway - a Miles Vorkosigan Mini-series

What a great thread!! :) There are so many things I'd love to have on DVD...

Jonathan Creek all seasons
(a great BBC detective show. Anthony Stewart Head was in a few episodes.)

La Femme Nikita all seasons

Ally McBeal all seasons
(how many people LOVED this show?? I can guess it's more popular than a lot of the shows recently out. But will they release it? No, of course not. Probably music issues. Barry White and all that. :( )

CSI
all seasons (none of the spinoffs, though)
Joan of Arcadia
Seasons 1-5

Witchblade
Season 1-5, where Sara and Gabriel hook up, Ian seperates himself from Irons and then Sara and Ian hook up.

Dune
the sci-fi channel mini-series.

The Darkness
seasons 1-5. It's a dream, and they'd probably mess it up, but, oh, how I'd love to see Jackie Escatado and the darklings on a regular basis

Uncorked

one of my favorite movies of ALL time, and apparently very hard to find on DVD

Oh, for those of you who want things on DVD that aren't out, go to www.TVshowsonDVD.com and sign up. At the least, you get information about releases you're interested in. At the most, you might affect the PTB's and get yourself a show you're dying for!!

Miles Vorkosigan ROCKS! But for all those books that I absoutely love...I wonder if a movie would be good for it. It could never be done the way you'd want it...

Especially considering the only things on the other two discs are documentaries about the history, & a book that outlines the particular interpretation of history used in the film. Not a lot, and looked to me like it would easily fit on one more DVD (instead of two more).

Notwithstanding the above, the Collectors' edition is available from Amazon Canada http://www.amazon.ca , listing for $31.41 Cdn. This may look like a good deal, but you will pay taxes on it and, if you have it shipped out of Canada, you will also pay shipping, even if your order might otherwise qualify for free shipping. So, it will cost you @least $32 US. But this is a magnificent film. If I didn't already have the single-disc edition, it would be worth it to me.
