The Vanishing Point DVD was the one that I really looked forward too
the most before it was released,and when it came out I snapped it up
PDQ!
Especially so after I learned that it included both the US and the UK
versions of the film that (in the UK version) had the deleted scene
with Charlotte Rampling in it, which IMHO made the ending ten times
better!
As a matter of fact one of my top ten Non-classic Classics that I had
been looking out for like Personal Best that I have just recently
picked up, was a mid 70's Jodie Foster film called "Little Girl Who
Live Down the Lane" which was a favorite I had not seen on cable TV for
years and years.
BTW within weeks of getting it guess what? It showed up on FLIX
(Showtime)!
