Im so wanting to see some of these old superhero movies that haven't been released on DVD for the general public, like
The originlal Spiderman movie from the late 70s,
Dr Strange movie early 70s I think,
and of course,
the Justice League of America movie,
come on surely these comic related films could get released along with the special features huh.................?

They were all varying degrees of terrible, and there's not much call for them to be released in any form. (Also, the Spidey and JLA weren't movies; they were 2-hour pilots for TV shows. The JLA show was never picked up, for good reason.)

That being said, you can probably find bootlegs if you look hard enough, but I don't know why you'd want to.

I have the JLA 'movie' on a bootleg VHS tape off the streets of NYC. It doesn't really deserve any better of a release. I also got a bunch of other TV pilots like the Power Pack and a couple others. All varying degrees of awful. Of course now we have the internet to find and share these horrors.

Another one of note... Japanese Live Action Spider-man. He has a bike... and a giant transforming robot. Yeaaaaah.

You see, to many people these movies aren't all that great, but the point is, they should be considered as promotional movies for the industry, as how not to make a comic-related film, and not only that, I think that certain films have a certain charm about them.
I have a copy of Roger Cormans Fantastic Four, and I personally think in some ways its better then the new FF.
Theres certain aspects of the film that honestly work out ok, like their flying car, and the girl who played Sue Storm.

These films I coinsider to be really important for comics.

Ive heard that there was a Spirit pilot movie, now I wouldn't mind watching that, the new movie I don't think was all that good, so it would be great to compare them.

Those Nick Hammond Spidey episodes are much, much more deserving of DVD treatment than Hasslehoff Nick Fury ever was.

I want Star Wars on DVD. The real one, from 1977, in anamorphic format.
