I don’t have Instagram, but can someone please suggest Deep End? I know there’s a BFI release, but the US needs one. Also, what’s going on with that restoration of Deadhead Miles?

American Hot Wax is a no-brainer

Those first three Floyd Mutrux films are really some of my favorite American films of the 70s. American Hot Wax should be considered one of the great hang out films, but sadly, the music keeps it out of circulation. Why did Mutrux's career never take off the way it should've?

I adore him as well. Dusty and Sweets McGee is just astonishing.
He made his fortune as a script doctor and writer of films that never got produced. He even did work on Scarecrow (1973). Just never had a hit film as a director, but I’m glad Blood In, Blood Out and American Me are regarded as classics in some circles.

Citizen’s Band, The Escape Artist, Darker than Amber, The Out-of-Towners, Gunn, Rattle & Hum—the two that’ve never been available properly are the big ones.
Hot Wax is a must, if they can wrangle Goodbar and Little Darlings, it can be cleared. They’ve knocked out a lot of unavailable titles in the past few years.

It is very odd that Rattle and Hum hasn’t had a 4K. So entertaining, and I’m not a U2 fanokcmaxk wrote: Thu Aug 06, 2026 8:22 pm Citizen’s Band, The Escape Artist, Darker than Amber, The Out-of-Towners, Gunn, Rattle & Hum—the two that’ve never been available properly are the big ones.

Maybe their catalog changed hands? That’s why The Wall is stuck in limbo, WB has the elements from MGM, but now Sony owns it outright post-sale. Rattle & Hum was a launch title for Paramount 20 years ago, someone needs to get it out there!
