TOP 60 DVD/BLU-RAY RELEASES OF 2017 PART 5

Well here we go again...I have 20 top releases to go and believe it or not I am still having trouble deciding what the number one release of the year is.

20. THE MANSTER 1959 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY...Great little Japanese/American co-production about a reporter turned into a two headed monster by an evil scientist. Excellent picture and sound quality on this little gem.

19. WORLD WITHOUT END 1955 (WARNER ARCHIVE) BLU-RAY...One of my favorite films of all time about four astronauts hurled through a time barrier into a far future earth. A very fun film indeed.

18. WILLARD 1971 (SHOUT FACTORY) BLU-RAY...Bruce Davison stars as the title character who befriends hundreds of rats and has them do his evil bidding. This was one of the most sought after films among collectors. Shout finally brought us a beautiful Blu-ray edition of this shocker.

17. NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE 1972 (ARROW) BLU-RAY...Sexy Erica Blanc stars in this Italian horror treat about a man who has visions of his dead wife. There are many twists and turns in this nifty gem we all saw on late night TV in the good old days.

16. THE CREEP BEHIND THE CAMERA/CREEPING TERROR 2016/1964 (SYNAPSE) BLU-RAY...The main feature is about Art J. Nelson who was a very deranged film maker and a twisted human being. the second feature is his classic about a killer carpet sample from outer space. I bought this simply because The Creeping Terror is a long time favorite film of mine and I couldn't turn down a Blu-ray release of it. Probably the best the film will ever look.

15. WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH 1970 (WARNER ARCHIVE) BLU-RAY...The uncut version of the classic dinosaur film about cavemen fighting for survival in a primitive world. Contains some of the sexiest cave women ever on screen including Victoria Vetri. A great looking print from the Warner Archive.

14. GREEN ACRES THE COMPLETE SERIES 1965-1971 (SHOUT FACTORY)...This is my favorite comedy series along with Married With Children. I have waited many years for this show to come to DVD and Shout brought us all 170 episodes!! A VERY welcome edition to my collection. A review will be coming soon on this blog, but I haven't finished the entire show yet. Eddie Arnold and Eva Gabor stars as Oliver and Lisa Douglas and their adventures in Hooterville. GREEN ACRES IS THE PLACE TO BE.

13. DELUGE 1933 (KINO) BLU-RAY...One of the greatest Blu-ray releases in a long time! Long thought lost film about massive earthquakes and floods destroying most of the earth and the small bands of survivors fighting to restore society. A MUST own Blu-ray.

12. VAMPIRE'S GHOST 1945 (OLIVE) BLU-RAY...Unusual film starring John Abbott as a mysterious vampire living in a small African coastal town. I was surprised by this release as I never expected to see it again. Thanks Olive.

11. MUTANT 1984 (CODE RED) BLU-RAY...An often overlooked fright film about people in a small town turning into blood drinking monsters after being exposed to a strange chemical. Lots of great and memorable scenes. One of the best films of the 80's.

That brings us to the end of part 5 and to the end of 2017. Next week, the first weekend of 2018 I will bring you my Top 10 releases of the year, and as I mentioned earlier, I am having quite a time deciding which one will be number one.
