Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing this again. Hope it does get a DVD release in the near future. I remember seeing it when it first came out on VHS back in the day. Now it seems to have fallen through the cracks. And it's never shown on television anymore, at least not here in Canada. Yet another nearly forgotten 80s flick.

There are lots of reasons movies don't make it to DVD, often legal reasons, but the MPAA has nothing to do with it. Notice that NEARLY ALL commercially successful films have come out on DVD because it was worth it for the companies and individuals who hold the rights to work it out.
Firstborn, on the other hand, was a box office flop, even though it was a pretty good movie, and it only did so-so on VHS back in the day. The same is true for other halfway decent films (before DVD) like Mischief, Airborne, Rad, Joshua Then and Now, Stick, and countless not-so-good movies. That's why movie buffs still have VHS players.
The only mainstream censorship going on in country is governed by Buck Almighty.
And someone needs to learn how to use the word 'whom' correctly or just use 'who' for everything like everyone else. -

"That's why movie buffs still have VHS players."
How true. Until EVERYTHING comes on dvd I'm keeping mine. I just bought an old vhs version of this on amazon, and though it was great to see this movie again it definitely needs a quality dvd release. -

My VCR IS a VHS player, as are most VCRs today. The REAL hard-core collectors have Beta players as well. And don't forget Laser Disc players!
Maybe the unfortunate passing of Corey Haim will generate enough interest to get this movie released on DVD. -

"That's why movie buffs still have VHS players."
Golden words.
Before the internet most people knew jack about movies, movie buffs stood out a mile. I can still recall when it was an aberration to have a movie review guide or more than one or two films soundtracks. People as a whole tend to be 'passive' consumers, and only a minority are 'active'. The internet has changed all that. Now everyone feels like they're an active consumer even though they're still passive. When I talk to people now, if they don't have a VHS or Videos still as part of their collections, I know I'm talking to a 'passive' (at least, it's one of the criteria). -

Stick got good reviews from critics and it opened up #1 at the box office.Why is a movie like First Born not on dvd or even Stick (which is available now from Warner Bros.Archives selections),and movies like Ghoulies 4 or Leprechaun 4,5,6 or even crap like Jaws The Revenge on dvd?

I also agree with the recent tragic death of Corey Haim, and with Robert Downey JR, & Sarah Jessica Parker now as big time stars, this movie should generate alot of interest. I decided to watch it mainly for Corey, who was soo adorable & great young actor even at this young age.
Rest Peacefully Sweet Corey

They've been showing it on Showtime in Sept 2010. It's how I remembered the film when Corey Haim was really young. I had totally forgot about it until its airing.
Your best bet would be to DVDR it.
I was able to download it from warez.bb, it's full screen VHS copy. I think people should be allowed to download it untill it gets an official release hopefully in widescreen
