What's the one for you?
What's the ONE movie that you absolutely have to have that hasn't made it to DVD? Personally, there are a ton of films that are on my must-own list, but if I could only pick one, it would be:
The Thing - that's the original, which was initially named The Thing From Another World, released in 1951, with Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan and James Arness (as the thing). It is based on the short-story Who Goes There? by the legendary John W. Campbell, Jr. I have really fond memories of watching this as a youngster. It alternately scared me silly, had me hopping on the edge of my seat, and sighing in relief as the heroes escaped another encounter. It has always endeared itself to me with its humor, wit, intelligent script and clean-cut characters all doing what they thought was the best for us all. It brings back a time when Hollywood was more than a block of explosives and a bunch of body-beautifuls. I've managed to keep a fairly pristine copy on VHS, watching it only rarely - once, introducing it to my kids, with really good results even though "it's one of those black and white things".
Some day, I hope this great little film gets the DVD treatment it deserves.
What's yours? Why?
