Videos like this are priceless. True film preservation since there's still so many lost on VHS or worse, no home video release ever. More like this please!
Please continue to do more of these videos. Such underrated movies stuck on vhs. I just got rid of desert kill and paternity on vhs because it just got a blu ray release by kino. Brian, please keep doing the Lord's work for movies and physical media.
Fascinating stuff! There’s a bittersweet quality to these, as I become excited about the films only to remember how difficult they are to see. I’d love to see more videos in this vein.
Yes it’s kind of a bittersweet time ultimately. For me part of the draw back in to collecting vhs again was just realizing some of these movies are maybe not coming to DVD or Blu-ray maybe ever if they havent shown up by 2024.
Had the good fortune of buying out the VHS inventory from (one of) the last video store in the Twin Cities - a year ago. Lots of only on VHS gems including a cool Key Video "Last Summer" tape - along with a lot of direct-to-video 90s erotic cinema - ala the great 2023 doc "We Kill For Love." Happy hunting Brian. Tapes are a great way to add to your discoveries list.
Oh how cool you got all those tapes, and LAST SUMMER to boot. That’s definitely on my list of vhs I’d like to have a copy of. I’m also looking for THIEF (1971) the TV movie with Richard Crenna and Angie Dickinson if you ever see that tape!
This was really good! I was a teenager during the heyday of VHS, I actually own a DVD/VHS player and still have a few VHS tapes mainly big box stuff I collect.
Love the Foolkiller! I still have a copy that I bought from a video store that was closing down in the late 90's. This is one of the titles that can easily fit in the Criterion Collection. The rights must be a mess. Criminally overlooked.
@@JustTheDiscs For sure. I actually suggested it to Criterion a few years ago but I got radio silence. Afterall, I'm just some random guy on the internet, so no surprises. It was a shot in the dark, but I tried.
Circuitry Man 1 and 2 were the ones I always wanted but just gave in and got them digital. Other VHS from my list Meatballs 3 The Big Score 1983 The Steagle The Wiz Kid E. Nick A Legend In His Own Mind
This is was best day! I actually like it night of the juggler and nightlife both really obscure movie, i just watch it last weeks ago, it was really great fun movie and also deserved it on blu ray proper releasing since this both for stuck on trapped vhs long time out of print rare so hard to find.
Would enjoy more of these type vids! It's incredible that LIGHT OF DAY is not on DVD, as there are big fan bases for Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett. I would like to see a blu-ray release of GRIFFIN AND PHOENIX, the original made for tv movie with Peter Falk and Jill Clayburgh. (Not the remake!) It came out on CBS Fox videotape. NAKED OBSESSION is a low budget gem from Dan Golden, with William Katt and Maria Ford. Only on videotape. NIGHT SIEGE: PROJECT SHADOWCHASER ii came out on a double feature Image DVD briefly and is long out of print. The DVD goes for ridiculous money. It was a fun DIE HARD in a nuclear power plant riff with Bryan Genessee, Frank Zagarino (and his incredible hair), and Beth Toussaint.
Enemy Territory have Dutch dvd released by The Company of Motion Pictures. Light of Day should have French release, i have seen the movie is original from Columbia Tristar, those days better known as Sony. Columbia Tristar the same studio that released Stuart Little movies on Bluray.
These foreign releases are often hard to read the legitimacy of so I often don’t count them. Some are often just glorified vhs rips and it’s hard to know what’s what. Hoping for more legit releases of all of these
