Dear me, a guilty pleasure if ever there was one, but a pleasure it is.

I am willing to stand up and be counted as one who would love to see Drop Dead Fred on DVD? But where? And when? Anyone have a clue?

Yes, I love this film too.

I don't think there is a DVD release anywhere as yet. There may be sometime in the future. But none now.

One time, they showed this film (which has a '15' certificate) at 2pm on S4C - I was able to pick it up.

Yeah, it's a good film and i am a fan of Rik Mayall. It always reminds me of Bettlejuice.

Yep - I like Rik Mayall. I like his vile, stupid shows.

I love the bit in Drop Dead Fred where:

There's poo all over the nice carpet!

I have to admit, its one of my little pleasures also. This type of humor always goes down big with me. Just a little kid at heart.

Lets just hope that someone decent picks it up for a DVD release.

It has to be a good DVD release if it will be released, though.

Criterion - are you listening? :p

How Criterion could refuse, I don't know... :p

Well, OK, maybe we could downgrade just a tiny bit. How about Columbia TriStar then? Come on? Come on! COME ON! :mad:

With Phoebe Cates airing again in Gremlins/Gremlins 2, I thought about Drop Dead Fred again, I dont know why but I love this movie (still got it on VHS!).

Anyway go here to sign an online petition but with only 672 signatures at the moment (mine being the last) I dont think it''s got much POWER behind it!!

What the...?!

Have you never heard the proverb "let sleeping threads lie?"

After 10 months you've hauled this up! :nuts:

And no studio will release it if only 672 people want to get it. Stop with all the pointless petitions and start writing letters!

I love this film, too. It was one of the very first videos I bought and I remember going to Woolworths every few days around it's release waiting for them to get it in.

I'll even admit to shedding a tear near the end of the movie.

PIRATES!

(that's a quote, not a recommendation of how to get this movie on DVD...)

Great movie - needs a decent DVD.

Drop Dead Fred ... the daftest choice of film I ever showed a child! :clap:

There's nothing to dislike about this film. Insane, slapstick toilet humour! But come on ... who *hasn't* wanted to do that in a restaurant? :D
