In honor of Jeremy Richey at
Moon in the Gutter's dedication of February as "M.I.A. on Region 1 DVD" month, I've cultivated a list of twenty-eight (I assume this isn't a leap year; I didn't check) of my favorite films that have yet to be released on the format. I will hopefully write further on a number of these titles if I can dust of my VCR and/or get a chance to watch the DVD dubs I made of a number of them. They are in no particular order. As of right now, I'm still in the deciding stages of whether or not I want to establish a more definitive list of titles still M.I.A. in the US on DVD. PS: You can find #28
right here, so feel free to fill your endless need for Asia Argento.
