Along with Singin' In the Rain it might be interesting to show The

I'm with you on The Blair Witch project, I found it terrifying and really
unnerving. But then I'm not a very confident camper to begin with, always
figuring I'll be the first camper dragged out of the tent to be devoured by
beasts or hacked to bits by hillbillies.
Also agree that The Birds and
Speaking of Warner Brothers and DVDs, wasn't someone looking for the 1934
Bette Davis/William Powell film Fashions of 1934 awhile back?
WB announced this morning that the film is now available on DVD in the
Warner
Archives Collection, along with 4 other Bette Davis films that haven't been
on DVD
Great! I love these kinds of lists. If anyone feels so inclined, they could
also go through the Warner

those that are still on the unavailable list. I made

Cool list! I just did an edit to remove Ken Loach's Kes, which was also
recently released by Criterion, and Polanski's Cul-de-Sac, which came out
on Criterion today! Been hoping for that one for years.
Are you also removing titles from the list if/when they're put on DVD-R ~ in

That might have been me, Gary. I was trying to remove Youssef Chahine's
Cairo Station from the list, since we actually put that out on DVD a few
years ago... but when I went back to the list it was still there. I like
Tyra's idea though of leaving newly available titles on the list for awhile

Yes, the Warner Archive titles are all DVD-R but they've got chapter stops
and some of their DVD-Rs include theatrical trailers and other material. The
Columbia/Sony DVD-R titles have recently been made available on the Warner
Archive site too, which is nice.
Also, this week the Warner Archives
Hi Farhad,
You might be interested in our film A Flood In Baath Country, which offers
a critical examination of the effects on a small Syrian village when a
shoddy dam collapses nearby. The DVD also includes director Omar Amiralay's
1970 short doc praising the Syrian government's hasty
Hi Maureen,
These films we distribute might work for what you're doing:
*Encounter Point* . http://www.arabfilm.com/item/429/
Documentary about Israelis and Palestinians working together for peaceful,
non-violent resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
*The Letter: An American Town and
*What's Up Doc?* calls into question pre-Oedipal guilt through its use of
subversive semiotics.
spot on, if you ask me. :)

I'm pretty sure Wild River (1960), a wonderful film included in the set,
has never been available on video or DVD before. That one would also make
the set worth getting if the films aren't available separately.

Seattle,
Watched them quite a while ago, so not sure how well they fit in here, but
first to mind were Chris Marker's Sans
Solielhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084628/
and Godard's Weekend http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062480/ and his Il
Nuovo Mondo segment of RoGoPaG http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056171/.
Neat—and what a coincidence! I just watched the terrific 1936 Clark
Gable/Jeanette MacDonald film SAN FRANCISCO last night, in which you get to
sample about 90 minutes of pre-earthquake living in the historic city before
disaster strikes.
