I remember getting Tampopo at Borders for $14.99. When I saw this thread the first movie that came to my mind was another Juzo Itzami movie:
A Taxing Woman Returns- never came out on DVD I believe, still have my VHS copy
http://www.amazon.com/Taxing-Womans...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=video&qid=1272841220&sr=8-3
The original Taxing Woman is a rare Dvd too (lucked out and got it at TLA video for $4.99 a long time ago.) the original print is very expensive

Great movies on par with Tampopo
Also, I'd love to see ALL of the Space Adventure Cobra series come out on dvd in the U.S.
What about Megaforce too?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaforce Definitely needs a release for its 80's cheese
Last and not least, one of the worst movies ever made Santogold/ Blood Circus (Santo/Santigold had to change her name over this):

I'd be afraid to give the guy money for the DVD as he would probably rip me off. I remember seeing these commercials late at night as a kid with WWF wrestlers, he had a scam selling fake gold plated chains.
