What great films aren't available on home video?

Has this topic already come up?

We're in a great age as far as the availability of films of any age and any fame on home media, but there are still a stubborn few that haven't made it. More than once I've had the experience of reading about a film I'd love to see or remembering fragments of something I'd like to watch again and then finding that it's only available as a $100 bootleg on Amazon. I just watched the great Watchmaker reissue of The Whole Shootin' Match and was ready to seek out Eagle Pennell's follow-up, Last Night at the Alamo, but... nope. Doesn't exist in any format.

What other titles leap to mind? Do you have a "holy grail" that you're waiting on to finally be released?

well... it's not exactly "great" other than my own nostalgia factor and personal like for the movie, but i've only found Fortress on vhs and the dvd i have is a burned copy of the vhs on the dvd, which is a horrible transfer at that. (the movie from Australia, not the christopher there-can-be-only-one lambert movie with the same name)

I've had trouble finding Eddie Murphy Delirious.
