A few days ago, I was reading a Wiki article which mentioned that some (I believe, 5) of Hitchcock's movies are known for being the "lost 5" or words to that effect. It had something to do with legal ownership, rights, copyrights, etc. for all of his movies. Somehow, five certain films (I want to say Rope and Vertigo, among them) "belonged" legally to someone else and, as such, these 5 were not available to the general public as the rest of the Hitchcock library collection was. Eventually, all the legal hurdles and ownership rights were cleared up -- but not until like the mid-1980's or so. And that explains why these lost 5 took so long in becoming publicly available on VHS / DVD / etc. Does anyone know anything about this? And/or ... does anyone know which Wiki article mentions all of this? I can't seem to find it. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro 00:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC))
One of the questions above (regarding The Streets of Cairo, or the Poor Little Country Maid) has me thinking about a little ditty that I (partially) recall from childhood. It went something like this:
Truly a heartwarming old hymn, I know, but what's bugging me is the missing line there. Anyone care to fill it in? I've done searches, but quoting too much text returns no hits and leaving stuff unquoted gets me a lot of medieval recreationist sites. Any help appreciated! Matt Deres 02:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Same ditty, I think, but still not answering your missing line! SaundersW 16:52, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Well. here is my version that I cannot recal the whole thing. It went like this:
In days of old, when knights were bold and women knew it. Sir Arthur and his court were gathered at the Round Table playing camel, crap for horse shit hadn't been invented yet. Just then the King cried SHIT! Fifty thousand assholes sweat and strain cuz the Kings's word was law.
I'm just wondering...is the great video game series Shadow Of The Beast acceptable for children? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirdrink13309622 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Does the MLA say anything about citing an audio commentary from a DVD? The most recent MLA Handbook I own is from 1999, and doesn't help much. Thanks! Zagalejo^ 06:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am looking for the title and artist of a music video where the storyline is like this:
