The Scorsese version? If so, yeah, I haven't seen that in a while.
The original pops up on Sky Movies, every now and again.

The Lady Eve is shown regularly on the Sky Classics channel.
You can purchase it from Amazon for just £5, and for £16.99 you can get a Stanwyck boxed set which includes that Classic comedy as well as The Miracle Woman, The Butter Tea of General Yen, Golden Boy, Double Indemnity and All I Desire.
This is a not on tv not DVD muse.

A couple to mention.

Soldier Blue - 1971 peter strauss
Not sure if these movies are ever shown on sky . Must be lots of movies in the archives which don't get a dvd release or tv showing. TV seems to churn out the same movies over and over/ (i know soldier blue is on dvd)”

Yes mate definitely agree with you there.Sky bosses please take note.
Sky showed Soldier Blue a few years back and, if the length of the screening is anything to go by it was the complete uncut version (ie with horsefalls) and not the still slightly edited UK version.

They had a double of the Blue Lagoon, and Blue Lagoon 2.
There is loads of films from when i was a kid that i found hard to find over the years:
The Wizard (1989)
Trading Mom (1994)
Candleshoe (1977)
Help Wanted: Kids (1986)
Trading Mom and Help Wanted: Kids - were never released on DVD. However I was able to find a copy of them and put them onto YouTube if anyone is wanting to watch them.
The Wizard is also on YouTube.

You must be one of the few that do love it. I liked Lucy on TV, but she didn't have a clue about the character of Mame.
The critics agreed, and one accurately described it as "Maimed". It was tragic that Angela Lansbury wasn't considered a big enough Box Office star at the time to repeat her stage performance onscreen. Not surprisingly, it was a flop at the Box Office. The one saving grace was Bea Arthur as Vera Charles.
The greatest Mame of the all was Roz Russell who starred in "Auntie Mame" on Broadway in 1957, and then starred in the film version in 1958.
This great version IS on DVD.
Killer Fish is on either Horror or Movies4Men, Nightwing is on TCM
One that has genuinely been near lost for much of its life is "Ghost Story" (1974) which is getting its Horror Channel debut this afternoon. It pretty much fell off the radar soon after release. The DVD was actually taken from the BBC copy of the film. Goodness knows when they last screened it.
Quote:
“ Described by Cinema Today as being like "a vintage P.G. Wodehouse story as it might have been ghosted by Edgar Allen Poe" GHOST STORY resembles not so much its Hammer, Tigon, Tyburn, and Amicus horror contemporaries so much as the shot-on-film BBC TV M.R. James "Ghost Story for Christmas" adaptation. Peter Hurst's stately cinematography creates a believable portrait of rural England in the thirties (even though the film was shot in India) and Ron Geesin's experimental score adds to the off-kilter atmosphere. Although the film's cult appeal is due to the presence of Marianne Faithful, the performances are excellent all around; specifically the lead trio (including Mackerrell who was the inspiration for the Withnail character in Bruce Robinson's WITHNAIL AND I). Deliberately paced and understated, GHOST STORY will prove rewarding to patient and attentive viewers”

"Ghost Story" has been shown several times on the Horror Channel.
It made its début last year, which was when I accidentally erased it from my Sky+ box.
Why it disappeared quite so completely for so long is a mystery.

Did it show the knife attack on the Red Indian woman as well ?
I bought a German Uncut DVD of it a while ago.

It seems now to get it on DVD you have to pay quite a bit of money and I can't justify that for a DVD, however much I want it!!!”
