Another favorite available only in VHS

Yea, this movie is a bit outdated but it's still interesting to watch and still one of my favorite movies that's filmed in Calif.; I think in mostly the San Diego area. This was one of Andy Garcia's first movie roles. Here's a bit of movie trivia: he does a little twitching movement with his hand that he repeated in the scene of the "Untouchables" when he and Costner confront the gangsters coming down the stairs with a baby carriage in the way of the shooting. Was Mr. Garcia reminding us to watch "8 Million Ways..."? Wish "8 Million Ways to Die" was released in DVD. Well, maybe someday.

The Pirates of Penzance (1983), featuring Kevin Kline and Linda Ronstadt. This one is a classic. Disgraceful that it's not out on DVD.

Night of the Creeps is getting released in October, using a new HD transfer. Graveyard ending, I think.

I found this on VHS for the entirely reasonable price of 75 cents, and watching this on tape just feels right. I never got the appeal of DVD other than for widescreen format, and at this point, I suspect I never will.

This is available on DVD in the UK in a very nice anamorphic widscreen transfer.
