Cannery Row

Absolutely one of my all time favorite movies. I love every bit and piece of it and have never understood why so few people know of it or why it wasn't a bigger hit. Funny, heart warming, and a bit off beat. Love the narration, the music, the acting, the characters, and the "boys". I really, really want this movie on DVD. As someone else wrote, every once in a while you gotta put this movie on and get your fix.

THIS IS WHAT I SENT MGM:
===========================

Since DVDs have been on the market, every place I have ever seen them on sale, I have ALWAYS looked for the 1982 MGM classic "CANNERY ROW" because is one of my all time favorite movies, for all of the reasons enumerated by all the other 49 reviews listed on AMAZON.

I understand that the critics panned it back in the day. That's been known to happen to extremely good movies before, take for example "It's A Wonderful Life" -- which finally turned a profit due to video sales-- DECADES after being a box office bomb.

I never bought CANNERY ROW on VHS, largely because I never saw it for sale on VHS, living in the wilds of Canada. However in the brave new world of the internet and Amazon it is now possible for even those of us who are isolated to acquire the merchandise we truly value.

Having read all the other reviews on AMAZON, the consensus seems to be that virtually all of the people who have posted reviews REALLY loved the movie, and most everyone wants to see CANNERY ROW released on DVD.

It is only today on Amazon that I even discovered that CANNERY ROW was even released on videotape. So for the first time right now I could buy a USED copy of it. But personally, I am rather tired of buying movies on video only to have to buy them again on DVD. So I am no longer buying VHS. I want to buy CANNERY ROW on DVD.

It is obvious that those of us who like this movie REALLY like it-- and we are certain to rush out and purchase the thing the moment it is released. So the question is: WHEN are you releasing it?

I HAVE SENT MY REQUEST TO MGM @

under the category "A Product I have never seen on this site"

If you want to see this one on DVD, contact MGM and add your 2 cents worth!

Ignore the "Product Description". This is a quirky, surreal and delightful exploration of small-town relationships in economic hard times. I don't often watch movies more than once, but have owned the VHS version since the early 80s and have watched it dozens of times (yes, I still own a VCR!).
