It was a hot summer night and the family piled in the car to see a movie at the drive in. I cannot remember exactly how old I was, but sometime between 1959-64. I don't remember the title and it has been haunting me for years. The jest is…a woman dying and wanting a blue rose. Two suitors desperately search for the blue rose, in which there was a seaside/cliff fight. If anyone knows the name of this movie please reply….it is driving me crazy. Thanks

It's that cheesy but haunting music score – lots of organ – in Thief of Bagdad that I can't forget. And the incredibly fake wings on the horse that Steve Reeves rides, looking a little embarrassed. How I would love to see this again…but don't look for it anytime soon on DVD.

My favorite not yet on DVD is 52 Pickup (1986). Frankenheimer directs Roy Scheider and Anne-Margaret in an Elmore Leonard story about a successful businessman who's gambling and fooling around get him make him easy prey for extortionists. When he doesn't pay off they kill his mistress and leave a video of the murder in his apartment to set him up for the murder, kidnap his wife and inject her with heroin, and steal his Jaguar. The movie has an explosive conclusion.

Jenni from St. Louis: I’ve seen Penny Serenade around over the years on various cheap-o DVDs. It’s in the public domain, so just about anyone who can get their hands on a print can put it out. I’ve even seen it at the 99 cent store (got a copy of Meet John Doe there once). It’s always a crap shoot in terms of quality, but you might take a chance if you find a particularly cheap copy.

Crossing Delancy has been on DVD for a few months. You can find it on Amazon now. It is a very good movie, low key but enjoyable.

I also loved Crossing Delancy and agree it should be on dvd. An old one but a good one, to me, is Penny Serenade, starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. I don't think it's been released on dvd.

This movie might not make anyone's "greatest" list but is a particualr favorite of mine that is not available on DVD: Crossing Delancy (Peter Riegert, Amy Irving. Sweet, funny, charming.
