| | Posted: | | | | Was reminiscing last night driving home from San Diego and began talking some classic 80s cinema with my younger girlfriend (born in 79). So today I went looking for some of these classic movies and much to my dismay ran into several dead-ends!!! Here are some of the films I looking for if anyone knows a retailer (prefer new over used, definitely want studio release)...
Oxford Blues: Rob Lowe
The Night Before: Keeanu Reeves and Lori Laughlin
Electric Dreams: Virginia Madsen
War Games: Matthew Broderick
Fire with Fire: Virgina Madsen
April Fool's Day: Various
Little Sister: Jonathan Silverman and Allysa Milano
Some of these probably been in and out of print, but perhaps some of them have never been released. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! | | | | My Collection!!! |

| | Posted: | | | | For Electric Dreams the problem is with the music rights, so don't hold your breath for its release. |

For Electric Dreams the problem is with the music rights, so don't hold your breath for its release. This is a shame because it is a great little movie. I am a big Virginia Madsen fan, had a teenage crush on her (along with Pheobe Cates and Jennifer Connelly) and this is probably one of my favorites of hers along with Creator!!! Thanks for the awesome responses though. I must be having Google issues because I had difficulty finding some of these earlier but now I have found them with your help, weird!!! | | | | My Collection!!! |

Electric Dreams: high on the wish list. If it's ever been released i'm not aware of it. That's awesome news about War Games.  Electric Dreams is another one that I've always enjoyed and would love for it to hit DVD. Fire with Fire was one that I had hoped Legend Films would license from Paramount, as they've recently released quite a few rarer Paramount releases. | | | | Corey | | | | Last edited: by Katatonia |

Secret Admirer...young Kelly Preston
3 O'Clock High
VisionQuest
Class
Dream a Little Dream
Fright Night
Gotcha
House
Last American Virgin
Mischief...young Kelly Preston again
My Science Project
Once Bitten
This reminiscing gets expensive, I still have a 50+ list of 80s cinema I want to buy!!! | | | | My Collection!!! |

| | Posted: | | | | From the website FAQ :
"We only carry titles that are not commercially available in the US and are in the public domain or imported from overseas companies."
1. The movie is not in the PD (as all the others in their catalog)
2. The dvd was never release anywhere on dvd but it was on vhs, so it's certainly taken from it.
I'm not a burn the witches person when we talk about bordeline dvd (I have some), but don't expect anything better than what it's on the vhs (probably Pan&Scan with tracking damage) |

Amazon It's crappy to the limit, and thankfully has almost nothing to do with the original storyline except for using the title. | | | | Corey |
