What about all the Ford/GM/Chrysler/AMC training discs?

I'm sure a rerelease on DVD would be of interest to Motorheads/Restorers/Collectors...

Hi, I am just adding to the topic with Last Days of Planet Earth (1974) [LV12862], which I just picked up.

A Japanese movie, this is the Pan and Scan dubbed American version of Prophecies of Nostradamus 1974. This movie never saw any Japanese release on home video due to its portrayal of irradiated humans (this is and continues to be a very sensitive topic in Japan for obvious reasons). It is currently under self-imposed studio ban by Toho, which is a shame because it is a truly unique, terrifying movie. The American version has the banned scene, where two mutated people fight over a dry dirt landscape over a single worm. I have transferred the disc with a Domesday Duplicator and am archiving it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecies_of_Nostradamus

An interesting quirk is that the book had a clear impact, because Nostradamus became wildly popular in Japan in the 90s, particularly influencing new age religious movements like the cult of Aum.

The Fullscreen and Widescreen AC3 versions of My Fair Lady contain a unique cut of the film where Audrey Hepburn sings Wouldn't It Be Loverly instead of Marni Nixon. I felt that this helps the transformation of Eliza Doolittle from a flower girl to a proper lady, which in this version includes refining her singing voice.
