 I saw yesterday in a big Parisian record shop FNAC a DVD release of 200 Motels (Zone2). It was on novelty exposure and I stopped for a couple of minutes to look at the screen....even so a major retailer like the FNAC sells it "legally" it is for sure not an official digital remaster but a cheap VHS to DVD master, looks worse then my VHS copy. It's not released by MGM, who released the original movie but by some obscure label who releases a lot of cheap concert DVD's in Europe these times. Until wating for a real digital remaster and if you don't own one of these prehistoric VHS recorders go for it... it's a great movie!! ------------- Tadpoles keep screaming in my ear "Hey there!

 I got excited when I saw the name of this thread, only to have my hopes crushed. MGM really does need to re-release 200 Motels on DVD, but I have read that the original master tape for the film no longer exists... If that's true, we may never see an "official" DVD release! |
