What are the movies on dvd people are chomping at the bit to own but that they can't because they are out of stock on amazon.com?
Amazon sends us these nice little updates, and as sellers it behooves us to pay attention to keep our eyes out for these hard-to-find items.
I did a little digging to see what these were and why they are so highly coveted.
(OK, admittedly some of the films are a little racy, but there you have it).
Here's a list of the top 50 with some of my commentary in brackets:
Song of the South
[This is an old Disney movie ("Well Mr. Bluebird's on my shoulder"), now looks pretty politically incorrect, hence hard to find].
Transformers [Blu-ray]
[sci-fi movie w/ Shia LaBeouf]
Are You Afraid of the Dark? - The Complete Firs...
From a reader review: "Arguably the best of Nick At Night. This series was written extremely well, and it shows in the longevity, sheer success and growing interest people have in the sets....
In fact, AYAOTD is so good, one could call it a golden stepchild of shows like Twilight Zone..."]
David Garrett: Live In Berlin
[ I had never heard of this guy, but apparently the rest of the world is crazy about him. From a reader review: "In the US, we are latecomers to his talent. You can surf the net and read the news from across the world and David Garrett makes headlines. I don't know that anyone else could have me put on the "Summer" (Vivaldi) track and turn the volume way up. Just about everyone has heard "Dueling Banjos" (the Deliverance soundtrack), but they have never heard it like this..."]
In Europe and Asia, this guy fills stadiums because his sound is powerful, beautiful, and enchanting."
GOOD EATS 12-Pack Alton Brown DVD's Food Networ...
ALTON BROWN GOOD EATS 18 DVD SET 54 EPISODES!!!
[Food Network star Alton Brown; "
It's cooking meets chemistry meets science class meets recess. Mix in his quirky personality and random jabs at pop culture and you have great TV. Or as Alton says 'Good Eats!"]
Hey Arnold! Season 3 (6 Disc Set)
[Nickelodeon toon from the 90s. Per one reviewer, "Here's the 3rd Season we've been waiting for. It seems this third volume is being released after four and five because it contains near twice as many episodes as seasons four and five."]
Blackzillian Booties
[Um...this is kinda what you'd expect it to be.]
Ladies and Gentlemen... the Rolling Stones
THIS AIN'T GLEE XXX (Bluray DVD)
3 IDIOTS DVD [2 DISC SET] BOOK and STICKER
[From what I can deduce this is an Indian comedy spoofing the Indian education system...looks like it would be funny if I could understand it].
Live From Amsterdam [Blu-ray]
NOVA: Secret of the Wild Child
["This is perhaps one of the most important stories in the field of Child Development. Not only does it illustrate a story of unimaginable child abuse and provide unparalleled insight into the effects of social isoloation on the psychological and mental development of humans, but it also reveals the darker side of science -- a part so driven by notoriety and money that it ends up abusing Genie over and over. "]

[Twilight-esque saga: "...A hunger that began on the frontier in the 19th century, where Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald search for sanctuary from the shocking evil at the gate and experience the first bite."]
Restorative Yoga
As Is Magazine Presents: The BMF
[Story of a "Black Mafia"]
Twilight's Last Gleaming
VIPER GTS (DVD MOVIE)
Walt Disney Classic Cartoon Favorites Gift Set:...
Rachel and the Stranger
[A vintage movie based on "antiquated mores": "In the olden days, there were white slaves as well as black. Rachel And The Stranger may be the only movie to explore that topic, though lightly...William Holden (Bridge on the River Kwai) is a widower trying to raise his young son...at a cabin in the wilderness. On the advice of the parson in a nearby town, he marrys a bond slave played by Loretta Young (The Bishop's Wife), buying her out of servitude."]

ICE PALACE
James - Getting Away with It... Live
[Another one I hadn't heard of. This is an English band called "too damn good for the average, American record-buyer" by one amazon reviewer. "Musically and lyrically, they are, without a doubt, one of the finest bands of the 90's (though they emerged in the 80's, they really hit their stride in the early 90's)."
"This concert, in their hometown of Manchester, was taped on the last night of their final tour with lead-singer, Tim Booth. What you will see here is a tremendously talented group of musicians performing highlights from an extremely impressive catalog of songs."]

Of Flowbees, $2600 Perfume Bottles, and Other Great Things to Sell on eBay: A Collectibles Blog
One of my Yard Salers newsletter readers, Amy, has a great new blog where she posts about cool under-the-radar things to sell on eBay: http://stores.ebay.com/Collectibilities. Among the things she mentions are Flowbees (funky old haircutting devices), American Girl dolls, and vintage perfume bottles.
Her eBay Store is called Collectibilities.
Amy was also the winner of one of my "Flips" contests, where her vintage perfume bottle, picked up for $2, went for a whopping $2651 on eBay!
You can read more about that and other flips from the contest here:
