Movies MIA in the Digital Format — Region 1 (NTSC)
Here's just a partial list of movies we at Eccentric Cinema would love to see on legitimate (non-"Gray Market") Region 1 DVD and/or Blu-ray. Let's just hope the studios get these cult gems on disc before our battered and well-worn tapes bite the bullet. Your only other option is to get a Region-Free or "hackable" DVD player with the added expense of international shipping rates for discs purchased overseas. More than a few of us just don't have the bread to go that route. And let's face it... Some of these titles may never make it to DVD, regardless of region.

Still Missing in Action...
DANGER!! DEATH RAY 1967
The MST3K gang did a splendid job of eviscerating this craptacular European Bond knockoff the only cinematic adventure of susperspy Bart Fargo (Gordon Scott). I'd wet myself with glee were Rhino to release the MST episode, but I'll take it straight up, too.
IMPULSE 1974
William Shatner is dressed to kill! He's a violent psycho who romances women, steals their money and murders them. He offs Harold "Oddjob" Sakata, too. (But doesn't romance him.) Delightfully over-the-top hammery from everyone's favorite starship captain.
ISLAND OF TERROR 1966
A low budget affair, Island's compelling storyline — performed by a game, able cast under surehanded direction — should please horror and sci-fi fans alike. Peter Cushing and Edward Judd play doctors racing against time to stop a horde of bone-sucking creatures.
IT CONQUERED THE WORLD 1956
Corman's Carrot: Part plant and all monster, with crab-like arms and a chainsaw grin. Humanity had never seen anything like it! Delightful '50s cheese classic starring Peter Graves, Lee Van Cleef and a feisty Beverly Garland.
SHACK OUT ON 101 1955
Loopy thriller pits commie saboteurs against federal agents at a ramshackle roadside diner. A young Lee Marvin completely steals the show as Slob, the greasy spoon's cook — who isn't exactly what he seems. One of the weirdest Cold War melodramas.
SWEET SUGAR 1972
Bodacious brunette bombshell Phyllis Davis is busted for pot in Costa Rica and imprisoned in a jungle work camp. A mad doctor uses killer house cats to torture the inmates! Plenty of sex and violence to satisfy your exploitation sweet tooth. Yowza!
TOP SENSATION 1969
AKA The Seducers. Eurobabes Edwige Fenech and Rosalba Neri get wicked, kinky and naked in this bizarre Italian sex thriller. (The goat scene is simply unbelievable.) The movie looks like shit on bootleg VHS... Positively screams for a widescreen DVD release
