Hey what movies did you put off buying and now they are out of print that you regret missing the most?

I woke up this morning thinking Fletch would be a fun flick to get on DVD only to find its OOP and sells for like 50 bucks. Last week it was Revenge of the Nerds, however at least its coming out in special edition. I still would rather juts have 1 and 2 on the same dvd. Oh well.

What about you guys? Does this happen to you? What movie did you want to buy only to find out you couldnt?

I'd have to say "Vibes" with Cyndi Lauper and "Turk 182" both of which I can't get. My husband would like "From The Hip" starring Judd Nelson. Can't get any of these movies in Australia.

The only 80s movie I wanted that is now apparently OOP on DVD is Maid to Order with Ally Sheedy and Beverly D'Angelo. It wasn't a top priority purchase or anything, just an OK flick that I figured I'd get eventually. Oh well...

The cheapest unopened copy of the movie currently on there is $26.00... no way in hell I pay that. And I refuse to buy used DVDs.

Thanks for the link, tho.

I should have grabbed She's out of control when it first came out on DVD. Now, it's going for big money.

I missed out on 'Wraith' in Walmart for $5 in DVD format. I did give one to a friend for his birthday maybe I should get that copy back and give him another movie in place of it. lol
