What becomes the "most anticipated DVD"?

[Kube]

Now that Star Wars, Indy and Godfather are all out?

Blade Runner SE?

[Kal-El]

Nope. Still Star Wars. Classic Trilogy that is. :D

[Josh H]

Nothing for me. SW is the last of the catalog titles I've been anxiously waiting for.

Besides SW, Garden State is my most anticipated DVD, but that's not even close since I just saw that and I'd been waiting for SW, Indy, etc. since getting a DVD player in 1998.

[Case01]

The Wizard

[aintnosin]

King Kong '33

[Skyler]

Blade Runner SE, or Dune SE (Lynch approved).

[Big Worms]

I would have to say Eddie Murphy: Delirious for me. Raw comes out next week. :D

[flyboy]

Ummm ... how about the ORIGINAL STAR WARS trilogy

[Alan Smithee]

Private Lessons

[Loc Nar]

I would love to see Over The Edge (IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079688/)) on DVD.

http://www.hollywoodteenmovies.com/OverTheEdgePoster.jpg

This teen rebellion film got heavy play on Showtime/HBO during the early eighties. I was a young teen at the time and was just flat out riveted by it. I'd love to see it again.

[Walter Neff]

For me, "Ace in the Hole" and the promised rerelease of "Double Indemnity" are much more anticipated than "Star Wars." (I like "Star Wars" too, though -- at least the first two. I, too, wish they were releasing the un-screwed-up versions...)

In case they're reading, yes Warner, YOU own the distribution rights.

[RobCA]

Cry-Baby

[nemein]

Personally I'm still waiting for a decent R1 version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

[adamblast]

As you can see by the completely random titles suggested, there basically ain't one.

[LikeMiamiVice]

Dawn Of The Dead '04..and an uncut Friday The 13th

[donald gregory]

Napolean Dynamite

[MisterHowie]

Truth is, there really seems to be no movie that virtually "everyone" wants after this. At least I can't think of any. I read the posts above and everything seems to lack the mass and nearly universal appeal of titles such as Star Wars, The Godfather, Back to the Future, etc.

[ChrisHicks]

Monster Squad

[Pavko]

Duck Man

[eXcentris]

The African Queen

How about a realistic release schedule for The Simpsons season sets? A lot of people seem to think we'll never get all of them before the format is obsolete.

[atari2600]

does every thread on dvdtalk have to instantly turn into a saracasm fest?

just wonderin'

[Bubble]

Arrested Development Season 1

[Big Worms]

One more for my wife, Charmed.

A lot of these movies are cult or guilty pleasures.

I really want The Wizard...

I think Seinfeld is one of the most anticipated sets for a lot of people in a while. I'm not particularly fond of the show, but I'll likely get it.

[Ginwen]

Mass market--none leaps to mind (other than possibly the original version of Star Wars, but I think that's more geak appeal--I find it hard to believe that the average joe gives a damn about this).

Me personally:

Either Twin Peaks Season 2 (I fully expect this to come out eventually)
or
Decline of Western Civilization Part I (I fully expect this to never be released, so it can remain my most anticipated forever).

If both of these show up, I've still got Urgh! A Music War which with all the music rights really ought to have a very difficult time ever seeing release, so I should never be totally done with my collection.

[Dalvin]

I would say the next "Holy Grail" to be released(if it ever does ) for me at least, would be Walt Disney's classic: Song of the South.


Other titles I am extremly interested in:

Young Indiana Jones

[Der Zorn Gottes]

And there you have it.

My holy grail of DVDs is still a Luis Garcia Berlanga collection, though.

Once Star Wars comes out this month Howard THe Duck would be on the top of my list as most wanted - I loved that silly movie and Lea looks hot.

[Joe Molotov]

Howard the Duck? I think you're all forgetting a little something I like to call Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - Extended Edition. Maybe you've heard of it?

But seriously though, I can think of plenty of movies that I would want on DVD, but not very many I think everyone else would want on DVD. I'd really like to get Yellowbeard or Robin Hood: Men in Tights or hey even Deathstalker III on DVD, but as far as people signing petitions and forming websites dedicated to getting them released, I don't think that's going to happen.

Being able to find a warp whistle the 1st time playing a new video game has got to be the greatest special effect ever put into a movie.

[p h a n a t | c]

i think the mass market has pretty much everything now...

i am waiting for

twin peaks season 2 (the HAVE to release this!!)

DECENT (=anamorphic WS) versions of classic steve martin movies (jerk, all of me, man with 2 brains, etc)

[nonametofame]

Raging Bull SE, and hopefully a Casino SE someday

I think the most anticipated DVD will be....the Criterion release of "The Pirate Movie"

[wordtoyamotha]

The Monster Squad

no sarcasm intended.

definately. I've been waiting for the decline..... for a while too. Who knows.... The Twin Peaks is my #1. Same with the pilot on R1 with a decent transfer.

[kms_md]

ditto to blade runner SE

I also want this to come out along with the pilot episode remastered properly for Region 1.

Since Wild at Heart SE is coming out later this year, maybe there's hope that some of the other Lynch movies such as Dune will also come out.

I think this is the highest AFI Top 100 film not out on DVD, so this could be a contender for AFI completist and fans alike.

My personal "Holy Grail" is Bringing Up Baby.

[Chopper]

Scrubs, season 1.

[Alan Smithee]

Oh and right now my most anticipated DVD is:
http://www.criterionco.com/content/images/large_boxshot/265_box_100x140.jpg

[natevines]

-African Queen
-King Kong
-Laura
-White Heat
-Angels with Dirty Faces
-The Public Enemy
-1900 (Uncut)
-Double Indemnity Re-issue
-The longer cut of Gangs of New York
-M Reissue

I know of a few more, but this is all I can think of for now.

[Loc Nar]

Speaking of uncut, a R1 uncut Malena would be nice. Please. With sugar on top.

[The Cow]

For me:

Movie: Robin Hood: Men in Tights (i was surprised others wanted this too, I just can't figure out why this one isn't out yet)

TV Series: Get Smart

[Big Worms]

Why would you buy a DVD of a show that you are not fond of? That does not make sense to me?



The one dvd that I am waiting for is X-men the 90's cartoon series. I don't know why people are posting movies that they know are going to come out in a couple months. I see this thread as being for dvds that are not planned on being released anytime soon. Call me confused.

That's always bothered me, as does the fact that if you're having a videogame tournament, wouldn't it make more since to play a multiplayer game? People don't go to QuakeCon to see who can rack up the most points on Commander Keen, I'll tell you that.

[Libby]

Def. Garden State and Spiderman 2. I wish HBO would release six feet under seasons more quickly. Im so hungry for season 3.

I second that whole-heartedly.

[woofman]

Movies:
ROTK: EE
Van Helsing (Guilty Pleasure)
Smashing Pumpkins: Live at the Metro
NIN: Closure

There are a few Snowboard/Skateboard films that are only on VHS I would love to get on DVD as well.

[Grubert]

[JDF5244]

'What's Happening! Season 3'

[drjay]

R1 of two Altman movies: Short Cuts and Thieves Like Us.

EDIT: Egad! Didn't see PopcornTreeCt's post before, but I guess Short Cuts is indeed coming out (http://www.criterionco.com/asp/release.asp?id=265&section=feature)...too bad we'll probably never see a DVD release of Thieves Like Us :(.

[bahgee]

Spider-man & X-men Complete animated seasons!!!

How 'bout:

Titanic SE

Also ...

The African Queen

[lcnickell]

i think there was a thread like this already..

here was my answer

Over the edge on DVD

ohhhhh, or a DVD Box Set tribute to the Late Steven Spielberg

[JimRochester]

Mostly some SE's of previous releases. Probably the next most will be Song Of The South simply because of the uncertainty over the political correctness.

[costanza]

my vote goes for the pilot and season 2 region 1 releases of twin peaks. on a related note, i wouldn't be against a lost highway release.

[Geoffrey]

Let It Be.
