More Wizard Video titles. Their crazy cover artwork would have looked awesome in the 12" format: http://www.critcononline.com/wizard_vid ... covers.htmGeorge A Romero's There's Always Vanilla - I think that's the only Romero title that wasn't released on LD in some format while LD was still in use Dario Argento's Inferno - it was released on LD in the PAL format, but that doesn't do me any good!

I could list dozens of titles as many of my favourite movies haven't ever been released in this format, but to mention few...:
Cut & Run and uncut Intruder - released in HK on tape (C&R also on VCD) but not on LD
Last Shark and Lucio Fulci's Zombie 3 - rumours about japanese releases pop up every now and then around the net but many professional long-term collectors, including n$a, have confirmed they don't exist
Anthropophagous, Absurd, Romano Scavolini's Nightmare, Slayer and Burning - I just wonder how those crazy asians missed completely these ones
Mountain of the Cannibal God - IIRC EC Entertainment planned to put this out among many other interesting ones but after first couple of titles they decided to drop LD production and release forthcoming titles only as tapes
Vampyros Lesbos and The Car - couple of more cancelled titles
Torso, One on Top of the Other, Beatrice Cenci, Napoli Violenta and Milano Calibro 9 - just among countless number of other italian titles...
Night of the Devils - Why oh why japanese released this masterpiece only on tape???

mlcsmith wrote: I thought of one that was released in the LD's lifespan. Kevin Smith's film Dogma. If Chasing Amy got the criterion treatment, why not Dogma? I actually asked Kevin Smith that once when I was at a Q&A with him. Well, I asked him what it was like to be one of the few contemporary American directors to have a film released by the Criterion collection. And he told me that he was really pleased when they asked him and was happy to work with Criterion. They did in fact ask Miramax if they could make a Criterion release of Dogma and Miramax crunched the numbers and decided that they would rather just put out their own special edition DVD than have Criterion handle it because they calculated they'd make more money.

More TV shows. Although there were a few television shows released on laserdisc, almost all of the were from CBS or Worldvision. In fact, that being said, most television shows released by those companies were either comedy or sci-fi horror shows like Twilight Zone or Twin Peaks.
