While they've not yet given release dates or individual disc specs ABKCO Films have announced that they are restoring the films of Alejandro Jodorowsky - El Topo, The Holy Mountain and Fando & Lis - to give them the quality DVD release fans have been asking for for years. The one thing they are clear one is the most important: newly restored HD telecine transfers. Start saving your pennies.

Yeah, I just authored the DVDs so you can yell at me if they go wonky.

The extra features are real nice. Worth waiting for.

They have George Romero's "Martin" to buy, but not to rent. I saw the film at Karlovy Vary, and I was blown away.

Here are some of the goodies on my request list: Amazonia (1985) Chained Heat 3: Hell Mountain (1998) Cheerleader Camp (1988) Cold Sweat (1970) FM (1978) Lethal Target (1999) Phantom Empire (1987) Shrooms (2007) Tenement: Game of Survival (1985) Vigilante (1983) The Wild Geese (1978) (Thanks to PokerPro for reminding me about this one!) I think GreenCine needs to add some more DVDs...

Since this thread was revived, thought I'd add that we do have Martin for rent.

And as for the list above, weezy will probably chime in with more, but I do know that FM - the inspiration for "WKRP in Cincinnati" was once on DVD a few years back but is long OOP, alas.

ADVERTISE on GreenCine!
