What
better time to think of Peter Sellers' Oscar
nominated performance as Chance the gardener
in Being There(1979) Stephen
Smedley of Vashon, Washington nominates this fine
movie for a DVD release.
A
small, underrated British Scifi film, The
Day the Earth Caught Fire(1961) is
a DVD MIA sited by Peter Haller of Avon Lake,
Ohio.
Amongst
the lost souls of Film Noir, Steve Thompson is one
of the more memorable saps. Burt Lancaster is great
as the hulking ex-con caught in a web of deadly
spiders in Criss
Cross(1949). The tepid remake directed by
Steven Soderbergh, The Underneath(1995), is
already available on DVD from Universal.

Gregory
Peck, Anthony Quinn and David Niven star in The
Guns of Navarone(5/23/00). Columbia is
releasing the 1961 film in a special edition
featuring audio commentary from director J. Lee
Thompson and lots of other extras. Ah, yes,
anamorphic widescreen.
Don't
let the failure Man
in the Moon(5/30/00) at the box office
discourage you from catching this very strange and
moving portrait of comedy's lost soul, Andy Kaufman.
Director Milos Forman may not have the legend of
Larry Flynt this time out, but he does have an
amazing Jim Carrey performance. Universal is
packaging this as a special edition.
