To "the powers that be"--PLEASE release "THE PHOENIX" (1981-82) on DVD!  This short-lived ABC-TV sci-fi show would be IDEAL for a made-on-demand DVD release.  "THE PHOENIX"--created by Anthony Lawrence--Starring Judson Scott ("Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan", "V: The Series") as Bennu and Richard Lynch ("Bad Dreams", "Galactica: 1980") as Preminger.  The 90 minute pilot movie aired in the spring of 1981 and the weekly series premiered a year later.  The following is a list of episode titles for all 5 episodes:
1). "THE PHOENIX" (90 minute pilot movie-04/26/81)--Guest Starring Shelley Smith, E.G. Marshall
2). "IN SEARCH OF MIRA" (Series Premiere-03/26/82)--Guest Starring John Vernon, E.G. Marshall, Bert Remsen

I'm a huge fan of Koyaanisqatsi and as others have said, this masterpiece deserves a Blu Ray release. There is no other way to view this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release this on Blu Ray. There are legions of us who would snap this up before the ink was even dry on the disc.

SORRY. . . This was a good movie BUT I am not going to wait for the next 30 years to own this disc!. . .No movie is worth that kind of investment!!!  Its evident, that this has not been made available to DVD because MORE MONEY is to be made by download than by an actual general release!

TO WHOMEVER HAS THE POWER TO MAKE SUCH DECISIONS....
This is SUCH a beautiful DVD -- one of the best IMAX pieces of eye-candy I've ever savored (repeatedly, i might add!).  The visuals are so staggeringly magnificent that this has to be made into a Blu-Ray... and it is wonderful to watch in its current format, so i can only imagine how gobsmackingly fantastic it would be in Blu-Ray.  SO -- all of you who loved this DVD also... I'd like to join you in recommending it to anyone who wants to sit back and be transported to some of the most amazing places on earth.  And second, I'd like to encourage you to join me in campaigning for this dvd to be converted into blu-ray.  i cannot even imagine it being more beautiful than it was already -- the possibilities are so exciting!  So -- yeah -- buy it if you don't have it in DVD...and lets try to earn the opportunity to buy it again in blu-ray! :-)
This is one of the few dvd's i will not be at all annoyed to pay for twice when i buy it again on blu-ray;  nuff said.

I still remember this wonderful film after watching the broadcast premier many years ago.  It's time for it to be released on DVD, where it will be preserved for posterity and enjoyed for years to come.  I would also love to see a remake for the big screen, with Streisand and Redford in the lead roles.

Just Picked Up The DVD Edition Of David Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, And Just Had To Share My Thoughts With You All. The Print Used For This Release Is So Crisp And Painfully Beautiful It's Like Watching A Dali Painting In Full Motion! The Soundtrack Was Re-Mixed By Mr. Lynch Himself And So Many Nuisances Pop And Bubble To The Surface That This Is One DVD That Sure To Find A Place In Your Collection Soon.... Before That Gum Comes Back In Style... I Hope!
P.S. David Bowie's Entranced As Phillip Jeffries Is Just As Manic As I Remember, Like A Evangelist On A Hot Tin Roof!

I have neither bought nor viewed the import version described here, but I do want to second the opinion of the previous reviewer that Disney needs to officially release this on DVD!  It is a truly a gem of a picture made during a time when Walt Disney produced several live-action films in Britain.  The film contains terrific acting performances, a delightful plot, and evocative scenery.  For a while, the Disney Move Club (you have to become a member) was releasing several of these fantastic, lesser-known, live action features made by Walt as DMC Exclusives (such as The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men, The Fighting Prince of Donegal, Rob Roy: The Highland Rogue, and Kidnapped), but, sadly, their release of such Exclusives has apparently ground to a halt.

Please, Disney, consider releasing The Sword and the Rose either for a general retail release or a DMC Exclusive (even as a manufactured-on-demand product if thats what it takes to be released)!

UPDATE: The Sword and the Rose is available on DVD as an exclusive release via the Disney Movie Club as of December 14, 2010!

This is an incredible movie! The cast shines, the plot inspires while tugging at your heart and the dancing is phenomenal! Please re-release this on DVD! Better yet, charge a little more and make it a package deal so you can include a CD of the soundtrack as an added bonus!

This film needs to be released in Widescreen with both a new special edition and a Blu-ray release. That would be the perfect compliment to the complete series set which was just released. Please do this Warner Bros! It is something a great number of people would appreciate. I have always wanted this film in its original aspect ratio. I already own this release but would double dip in a heartbeat for a proper release of the film!

Like many who have taken the time to write about A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN I too would love to have this title available on DVD. Fox had scheduled it for release in 2004 and then pulled it. Why? I believe the reason is that they sub-leased this title for release in Europe and thus can not release it until the lease runs out. They are not interested in putting it out in just a Region 1 version, so will hold off until all rights revert back to them. Too bad as this is one that I would dearly like not only to have, but to share with others. Update: It has now been released on DVD as part of a set of Elia Kazan films that includes many titles that have already been released on DVD along with a few Kazan directed titles that are new. The great news is that this film is now available on BLU-RAY exclusively from Fox Connect. It is found in a collection titled KAZAN AT FOX, Vol. 2 and includes in addition to TREE three other excellent films: Viva Zapata!; Man On A Tightrope and Wild River. The price is $44.98 for the set (includes free shipping) making the cost for each film just $11.25! The transfer of A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN is stunning. It includes an interesting commentary track and an excellent Making Of Documentary along with a tribute to Dorothy McGuire. Fox Connect also offers Kazan At Fox, Vol. 2 with Gentlemen's Agreement; Panic in the Street; Boomrang! and Pinky.

This movie is amazing! I just watched it (in 10min segments) on youtube the other day and was shocked at how well it still holds up. It's definitely one of the better movies from the 1980s.

I think the reason this is not out on DVD relates to music rights. Many movies and tv series (Northern Exposure) are delayed because of music rights. They never negotiated the DVD format when the movie was made. In the case of Northern Exposure, when it was finally released it had new background music on many of its episodes to avoid paying out larger music royalties, which angered die hard fans. In the case of Billie Jean they'd have to pay Billy Idol, Pat Benatar and others some royalties. But they would make that x100 back in the sales.

The movie studios wonder why they are losing so much money (online pirating is to blame a bit I suppose). They have movies like this sitting in their vaults just rotting. Get a clue and slap this on DVD!!

This movie needs a DVD release badly! Fair is fair!

For crying out loud, just release the dang thing in the United States, if you please!!  We've got "The Bionic Woman" FINALLY released on DVD.  Now...bring us the show that started it all!  I LOVED this series as a kid and just want to watch it again and again.  Give it to us already!  Sheesh!
