When I saw their first release "Bats", I thought Destination Films' destination was the dumpster!

Did they have any OTHER films other than BATS? Hey it was filmed in Utah, my home, so it cant be that great...Dave

What's wrong with Utah?? Anyway, they did Thomas The Magic Railroad and Whipped. Don't know what else.

Destination was also the release studio for the absolutly excreble "Beautiful", the directing debut of Sally Field and one of the single worst, if not the worst reviewed film of 2000. They should get together any remaining prints of this film and drop them on the freakin' Taliban, and not waste $2 mil on a Tommahawk.

just start showing the films to them and they will lay there arms down and give up or jump off a cliff....

I believe the only films they actually released were BATS, THOMAS AND THE MAGIC RAILROAD, BEAUTIFUL, and WHIPPED (in that order if I remember correctly).The only other films that I can remember that they had planned to release were BUYING THE COW, SLACKERS, and RING OF FIRE.
I believe BUYING THE COW and SLACKERS were both picked up by Sony, but I dont know what happened to RING OF FIRE.

Destination also put out "Eye of the Beholder" and "Drowning Mona".
Was this the shortest-lived studio in movie history?

And prints maintainedand shipped by everyone's favorite TES, so you can COUNT on a bad print fresh from the lab

Mark Ogden said "They should get together any remaining prints of this film and drop them on the freakin' Taliban, and not waste $2 mil on a Tommahawk".If ya drop em just be sure they are all be on those darn Technicolor reels. If that doesn't foil the Taliban, at least they'll end up loosing their fingers!

Bumping this up for this inquiry:Mission Kashmir was a Bollywood drama released in the fall of 2000. This picture is available on DVD/VHS through Columbia TriStar. The back of the DVD case/VHS box has the Destination Films logo -- and Destination Films had a distribution deal with Columbia TriStar. Was Mission Kashmir ever intended for a non-Bollywood release?
