I was pleasantly suprised that my favourite film of all time, The Parallax View, has FINALLY gotten a Region 2 release........duly ordered from those nice people at Play.com
Another fave of mine that didn't get a release for years was The Externinator.......basically an updated 'Death Wish' film....only gorier and more violent and a smash in 1980.
But another classic that I have NEVER seen on DVD is Class of 1984, which for SOME reason is banned..............and whilst I remember it with much fondness, cannot remember ANYTHING in it that would warrant a banning, especially in this day and age.
Any idea's why, and what mainstream film would YOU like to see released on DVD that so far has been 'held back'


Class Of 1984

I fondly remember the Alice Cooper song 'I am the Future' and one of the thugs wearing a Clash T-shirt

Class of 1984 has a cinema certificate after 4:14s of cuts.

Passed uncut on video when submitted to the BBFC in 2005. However it seems that the version submitted has been pre-cut by about 5s but that this version is approved by the director, Mark L Lester

The approved director's cut, region 2 DVD is available at Amazon
