Maltese Falcon badly. If anything just re-issue it in a keepcase! I wouldn't mind owning The Sting in widescreen. King Kong just needs to be released. Let's see here are some movies I'd love to get the multi-disc treatment:
It's A Wonderful Life
The Wizard of Oz
Clockwork Orange
A Streetcar Named Desire
Rebel Without a Cause
Stagecoach
The Searchers
The Wild Bunch

I think we'll definitely see new 2-Disc Special Editions for The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, The Philadelphia Story, The Wizard of Oz, A Streetcar Named Desire, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and Ben-Hur sometime in the future.
Plus probably some more contemporary classics like L.A. Confidential, The Green Mile, Deliverance, The Killing Fields, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and The Exorcist.
Personally, I'd like to see Risky Business, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and the entire Dirty Harry series revisited.

The Searchers and Stagecoach have already been announced (no definite release date yet, though). Some others that are already in the works are Heat, Bonnie and Clyde, Batman, Bullitt, and Three Kings.

I want The Wizard of OZ, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?, and National Velvet. In addition, I would love a release of Raintree County, but when I asked them about this title during a HTF chat, it needs a costly restoration, and isn't likely at this point. Shame.

The Searchers will definitely be out in 2006 according to Warners.
i would expect that Rebel Without A Cause will be remastered to be sold along side East Of Eden when that debuts next year, also.

Aside from a commentary, I can't think of anything that could be included on a rerelease of the Wizard of Oz that isn't on the current edition. The available disc is packed with bonus features and looks and sounds great. I'm more than happy with it. I'd much prefer some time be spent with films that have poor releases or haven't been released yet.
For example, I'd really love for a lot of the early 30's gangster pictures to come out like Public Enemy, G-Men, Scarface (by itself), Little Caesar, etc.

I would like to see American Graffiti get a two disc release with a great transfer also.

American Graffiti and To Kill a Mockingbird are Universal titles.
The African Queen, which is probably the biggest classic title I can think of that has not yet found its way to region 1 DVD, is a Fox title.
King Kong is already in the works and is planned to coincide with Peter Jackson's theatrical remake that comes out next year.
Edit: After re-reading Deco King's original post I realize that he wasn't strictly referring to Warner re-releases despite opening his post with a reference to them. My bad.
