There's a few on my wish list that I'm not holding my breath for.
Meridian: Kiss of the Beast - Sherilyn Fenn stars in this Full Moon direct to video take on Beauty and the Beast
Mindwalk - Sam Waterson, Liv Ullmann and John Heard star as three people who spend a day in Mont. St. Michael, France talking about how to change the world
Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak - Tawny Kitaen in a classic B movie rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark/Romancing the Stone
Watch It - Peter Gallagher, John C. McGinley; A somewhat funny film with one great scene (on the porch) and some classic practical jokes.
And I'm surprised no one's mentioned Song of the South yet.

Some less than stellar titles have come out lately, owing largely to the presence of Julianne Moore in them, (I'm talking to you, Roommates and I'll Take Manhattan) and similar stuff is in the pipe (The Gun In Betty Lou's Handbag).
I could do with releases for unlikely stuff like Chicago Cab, The Last To Go and Cast A Deadly Spell, though those seem somewhat unlikely.
(I take it as likely that we'll eventually see Short Cuts and Surviving Picasso.)
I also think we've pretty well established in past threads than a lot of TV movies are of a very low priority, which is too bad. (I've seen Out of the Darkness, and it would be an excellent addition to anyone's Sheen collection.)
Lifetime needs it's own DVD imprint. I'd probably buy at least a few of the titles they run nonstop on LMN.
God help me.

Jesse Jackson and his NAACP cry-babies won't let it happen, EVER!!!!!!
Oh, and for all the people who say, "But it's a cartoon and it might warp the fragile wittle children," well, I have solution for that too....umm, it's called FREAKING PARENTAL SUPERVISION!!!! I mean, South Park is a cartoon. Should we ban that because it is offensive to some and they do not want their kids watching it?? NO. Parents just should be parents. Know what your kids are watching.
If Song of the South is evil and offensive, then why should we see "Gone With The Wind"? As a matter of fact, why don't we try to ban every film that shows anything that is considered offensive by a grou of people? Brilliant idea. Hey, the Charlie Chan festival got canned due to the PC-police. Man, we need to go through art museums too and cover every painting that shows anything offensive.
Sorry for the rant. I hate the kind of stupidity that is keeping this film from being released. It is truly a beautiful film in my opinion.

Many of the Terence Hill/Bud Spencer pairings probably won't even see the other region formats, never mind a U.S. release(Crimebusters, Watch Out We're Mad, etc) and Super Fuzz(sans Spencer).
I would imagine Police Squad could happen at some point, but I'm making no plans to dump my VHS of those beauties.
The "B" est of the "B" movies in the 80's, the "Up All Night" faire, like "Jocks", "Party Camp" and your other crappy teen romps that were our vehicles for nudity prior to this new fangled internet. It's a shame to think of these lost to the sands of time, much like many biker films of the late 60's that never saw VHS.
And with that in mind, I doubt we'll ever see a classic like "Electra Glide in Blue".

Nightmare Alley (1947) with Tyrone Power, based on the great William Lindsay Gresham novel. This never even made it to an official VHS release as far as I know.

I would never say never about this....unless because the film elements are pretty much gone or worthless. I could be wrong, but I think most films that can be presented will hit dvd at some point. I suppose legal problems could do the same thing. The Other, from '72 is one of my all-time fav horror films....ignored for the most part. but I still think it will get here....just have to wait. and if it's bare-bones...so be it.

I thought that London After Midnight was a completely lost movie, in that no reels from the theater release were still out.

Although I wasn't a giant fan of it, I sure wouldn't mind seeing The Mouse and his Child get released on DVD.

The only scene I remember is the topless slavegirls pulling the chariots. Classic.

No, no, no, silly. That movie is called Clifford and it is not yet available on DVD.
And rightfully so.

I don't except Richard Gere's King David to come to DVD any time soon.

surprised various david lynch references havent come up yet. #1 on the list of "never will happen" has got to be an extended directors cut of Dune complete with full length directors commentary.

Welles' THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND
Maybe not 100% complete but I'd still like someone to release it.
Also, his OTHELLO, minus all the "restoration" work that was done, along with "Filming Othello"

Breaking The Rules ( 1992 )
Jason Bateman's character is dying of cancer, and he persuades his two friends, played by Jonathan Silverman and C. Thomas Howell, to go on a road trip to California. There's a classic moment when Silverman's character goes on a date with some hot blonde he just met. They're both relaxing by a fireplace, getting more intimate with each other. Out of nowhere, the blonde goes, " did you know the Jews killed our Lord? " She then proceeds to preach gospel for the rest of the date.
Good movie that probably has no chance of a DVD release.
