Hocus Pocus
I know there are alot of people on the fence about this movie, but Hocus Pocus remains one of my favorite holiday movies to watch around Halloween. When it came out, it had mixed reviews - but ended up getting a fan following after its time (just look around on amazon.com). The DVD just the movie, its in the bargin bin for $6.99. I know disney owns the rights to this movie, but they are not doing anything with it. The movie came out in 1993 and was released on dvd with no bonus features/no dvd menu animation in 2002. Disney missed the 15th anniversary, so perhaps they are (or or not) waiting for the 20th or 25th anniversary. Who knows if it will ever be re-released, but there is plenty of room for lots of bonus features and a cast commentary - if they can remember that far back. I always watch this movie with Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Nightmare Before Xmas, Halloween, The Fog, etc. I would love to see shout factory re-release this - even though I have a feeling Disney would rather bite off their own hand than give the rights to someone else - even though they may never have plans to re-release it.

RE: Hocus Pocus
Oh I loved this movie too!. Very Halloween-y and cool. They don't make movies, or television specials, like this much anymore. A new DVD would be great!.
