Let's put it this way: There are nearly 80,000 VHS catalog titles out there compare to something like 14,000-18,000 (depending on what you're counting and when during the year) DVD titles. A lot of the good stuff, the classic stuff, is slated for release, but it's obviously a case by case basis. Barton Fink by the Coen Brothers, for example -- not out yet. And it's equally weird that something as basic as Henry Fool is not yet out on DVD. But we have a radar out for these things (or you GC members will bug us about it ;) and we'll make sure to get it in stock. best regards-- dennis! > On September 14, 2002 - 9:00 PM PST Signalstation wrote: > --------------------------------- > I don't understand why more of Hal Hartley's films aren't available.
