Does anybody know when Paramount will release this film 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 -

It's on The Movie Channel HD today and again next week. I'm capturing it in 1080i and will dump it to a blu-ray disc. I just hope it's truly an HD broadcast. I'll find out tonight when I get home. A shame this isn't on dvd/blu already. I saw this in the theatres as a kid and had the VHS back in the day.

Sweet!!!
I LOVE the part where he tells off his teacher. Best I can recall:
"The real world? In the real world, you're a grown man competing with a bunch of 14 year olds. In my book, that makes you a lightweight."
