This is my favorite movie of all time, basically. Unfortunately, when I bought it I bought it on VHS. I need it on DVD, and apparently I can't find it on DVD (US format) ANYWHERE.
If anyone knows where to find this, please PM me. I'll pay you, of course, I just have to own this movie!
Most certainly. I am looking for Hal Hartley's "Flirt" from 1995. Some actors include John Robert Burke, Martin Donovan, and Parker Posey. The IMDB link can be found . right here. Sorry I wasn't more specific!
I love that movie. The only thing I know of that is available is a region-free PAL disc that has unfortunately been cropped into 4:3. I found one here, but you may be able to find a better deal if you look a little while. Have you tried looking for a bittorrent? There may be a better copy of it around that you could make your own dvd out of, or you might get someone to transfer your vhs to dvd..
first i poked around possible films' site no luck. hal doesnt own that one. apparently it has never come to DVD in the US. there is an australian version out if you have a region 0 dvd player
I looked around BitTorrent and haven't found anything, which is really unfortunately. I suppose I could find someone who could convert my VHS copy to DVD, but it would look like shit.
Hopefully someone will be able to find it. I know it sounds strange, and there's a longish story behind it, but that movie actually kind of saved my life.
You could probably get a version that's encoded from another region, and use DVD Decrypter to convert it and burn a new DVD for the North American region.

Good point. If I did that is there a good place with instructions for how to do that?

i think soem of those video transfer places will do it if you live near one of those
So, when I was being really overly emotional and melodramatic and, well, 18, I was a cutter. My boyfriend had just broken up with me and I thought it was the end of the world. I had also rented "Flirt" from my local indie video store. Anyway, as I was sitting watching it I was planning on overdosing. But you know how each story has some lines that are repeated? Well, one of them changed my mind completely. Hearing it, I knew that giving up on life and love because of one bad thing was weak, and I decided against it. It was a conversation that went something like this:
A: He loved me once. Why can't he love me now?
B: People change.
A: I don't change
B: Maybe you will.
A: I don't want to change.
B: Sometimes you have to.
And that's when I realized I had to get over all my stupid teenaged bullshit and let myself really live again. I even wrote Hal Harley a letter thanking him for that scene. Which, obviously, is why I am so desperate to own a DVD version of this movie.
Spoilers contain deep teenage type confessions that explain my obsession with this movie.
