First off would have to be the excellent Night After Night After Night by Lindsay Shonteff. I'm quite a big fan of Shonteff's work and yet, to my knowledge, there is no DVD release of this gem anywhere. Sadly, the UK pre cert was very slightly censored so I've never seen an uncut print of this. It really is a superb little film and features some amazing photography. The scenes along the Thames will always stick with me.

Another title I loved from the halcyon days is The Black Panther. Originally put out by Intervision, it's based on the real life kidnapping of Lesley Whittle and the numerous Post Office robbins committed by Donald Neilson. This was pretty big news when I was growing up and mostly took place just down the road from me (incidentally, the film was shot very close too). Again, fantastic little film. Really well acted and shot, it's a must see.

I'll sign off with one more. That would be The Bell of Hell. An absolute gem of a film and really very rare and hard to get hold of. I know there is a Region 1 available that I've yet to check out, but apparently this suffers from incorrect framing and some missing footage. This is really a film that deserves the quality treatment.

So, anyone agree on these? I could think of plenty more but I don't want to flood the board all at once
I don't know much about Night After Night After Night, but couldn't agree more regarding The Black Panther and The Bell From Hell. Both poorly served films in terms of home releases and crying out for this to rectified.
