Entertainment & Music - 29 September 2006

Lots of excellent films don't come out on DVD for years, and some NEVER do. Examples: The Yakuza (starring Robert Mitchum) - an exciting film with some wonderful sword fights. Then there is The Holly and the Ivy - a great family film. The Riddle of the Sands was not released on DVD for years, but it is a brilliant classic adventure film.
Why is it that the owners of the film rights don't release them on the DVD format earlier? Surely these companies would make a fortune out of selling really good films.
It is not as though they are holding them back to sell them to television companies; these films are never on television.
The BBC is a major culprit. The BBC has loads of cracking programmes, including some wonderful classic series, that it seems to hold on to for ever. Why doesn't the BBC sell the film rights for DVD, and make some money to subsidise its running costs. The BBC produces programmes that are unbeatable; millions of people would like to buy them, but the BBC says: "NO."

Does sex and becoming parents make people evil or good.
I heard having children is selfish.
I heard in horror movies the virgin never dies.
