I have commercial DVDs of Obsession and Brewster McCloud. Leave it to Amazon to "sort of" tell the truth. And speaking of Freebie and the Bean – it has one of the most homophobic endings in a Hollywood film for the time and is called out as a prime example of "queer equals murderous non-human freak" Hollywood syndrome in both the book and film version of The Celluloid Closet. It's really difficult to watch now since it's sort of played for laughs. It ruined the film for me when I saw it years ago.

I completely forgot about "Freebie and the Bean"… I think that came up post-Green Lantern for some reason?

This timeless movie is a true classic. It is clever, witty, soulful , and edgy without being sappy.

In fact, The Landlord was just put out a few years ago.

Uh… tell that to my copy that I bought 10 years ago at Media Play. It even has a Paul Schrader commentary track.
