But that does have a proper DVD release. It's the sequels that have bad framing.

• Captain Blood
  
• The Adventures of Robin Hood
  
• Scaramouche
  
• Mute Witness

-King Kong (1933)
-In Cold Blood
-Eraserhead (though this may change sometime this year)
-The Magnificent Ambersons (1942)
-The Haunting (1963)
-Night of the Hunter (there is a DVD release, but it's bare bones, and not 1.66:1 letterboxed- as it has appeared on TCM)

Hope these see a release soon!

The Fountainhead
Through a Glass Darkly
Ed Wood (though I can see this coming in the future)

and...Double Indemnity (beyond the bare bones treatment)

It's the only of the three Flynn swashbucklers I listed above to ever come out on Laserdisc, according to the IMDb.

Predator

Jaws. I read alot of interesting things that the DVD anniversary set didn't have. I think the post washere. It was missing alot of the deleted scenes the Laserdisc had, something about the FX mix and how it wasn 't the same and the original had won awards. How i'd love to have a VHS tape or DVD-r of those Laserdisc scenes.

Ferris Bueller's Day of and Planes, Trainss and automobiles. Both need proper releases. Two of the funniest movies ever made.

Can we count TV shows here Mr thread starter?

The first DVD release had good image quality and not bad sound for a (rather inexpensive) movie from it's time. The deluxe release (or whatever it's called) has the longer cut of the movie and at least one commentary track.

Unfortunately, I still don't have it.

The Adventures of Robin Hood is a great movie! I'd love to have that.

speaking of old movies I recently bought the new DVD of Thief of Bagdad.
Great stuff, if a little cheesy.

The Hudsucker Proxy was released on DVD, albeit barebones. It had a full screen for those too ignorant about widescreen, AND a widescreen presentation.

But according to what I've read, the quality isn't above VHS level.

I'd also like to see
Hogan's Heroes
Riptide
F-Troop
Get Smart!

MillenniuM - all 3 seasons in boxed sets with isolated score. I can wish can't i?

More Knight Rider

Whose Line Is It Anyway? The original Bristish version. Wacky brits.

More Batman: the animated series

Magnum P.I.

CHiPs

Seinfeld

Another dream: The Norm Show

Rockford Files? Maybe?

Sources at Paramount have given us some hints about upcoming titles for 2003. First of all, there are serious plans to bring a number of classic TV series to DVD this year, including Fraiser, Cheers and Soul Food. There are no dates or other details yet, but certainly good news for fans.

Also, and consider this very tentative, a couple of retailer sources have sent us street dates for interesting upcoming product. According to these contacts... Frasier and Cheers are also tentatively slated for 5/20 as well.

They also say that

Sources at Paramount have let it be known that the classic Shogun miniseries is planned for DVD release later this year.

Toho has begun releasing DVDs with 5.1 sound, letterboxed and extras in Japan but alas all we get are crappy dubbed prints that appear to be recycled over and over from prior releases from lesser video companies.

The current show "24" gets a first season dvd release!
The petition from awhile back got:
1195 signatures!

That's it? The petition for ALF on DVD got 1768. So why don't we have ALF on DVD?

Perhaps it's time that you stupid people at MGM, Universal and any others start seeing what we want! We ask for it, but i just doesn't happen.

How many businesses would be happy to do what their customers want if they would tell them? Stores even put in forms asking how their service was and how to improve it. We are litterally giving you the info and you don't give a rats arse.

Well that is a start, there are so many good movies that have not been released. Terriable movies in the present has convinced me to turn back time and watch the good movies that were made in the past.

4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
5. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Indiana Jones Trilogy by Christmas this year.

6. The Original ET

Was just released (caveat that you have to buy the expensive one to get both)

13. All the uncut Looney Tunes Cartoons
Supposedly coming this year
