Subway Stories
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Subway Stories: Tales from the Underground was a film made in 1997 produced by Home Box Office for television. It began as a contest among New Yorkers who submitted stories of their experiences within the New York Subway System. HBO picked ten of the stories and casted mostly well-known or accomplished actors, (such as Denis Leary, George T. Odom, Rosie Perez, or Bill Irwin) writers, and ten well-respected directors. (Such as Jonathan Demme, Ted Demme, and Abel Ferrara)

[edit] Lack of DVD release
Despite such acclaim for the film, HBO only released it on VHS for the American public. The movie, though, is available on region 4 dvd players. (mostly associated with European or Austrailian dvd players)
