To Kill A Mockingbird
Deer Hunter
The Sting
EDIT: And the 6 previous releases of the Monster films (drac, frank, black lagoon, wolf man, invis man, mummy) were branded as The Legacy Collection (not Series). So I don't know if those count or not.

There were rumors that Psycho and Vertigo were going to recieve the Legacy treatment. The problem is that this is Universal we are talking about. Their series many times don't have any rhyme or reason. Remember those collectors editions discs at the beginning of the DVD era? Silently they dissapeared.

From thedigitalbits.com:

Universal has announced several new DVDs for release on 7/8, including a new 2-disc The Mummy: Special Edition (the 1932 film - a Legacy Series release - SRP $26.98), The Mummy: 2-Disc Deluxe Edition (the 1999 film), The Mummy Returns: 2-Disc Deluxe Edition, a Van Helsing: Collector's Edition, a Jet Li's Fearless: Director's Cut and Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan: The Complete Third Season. We'll have more details on the monster titles tomorrow (they're obviously set to promote the upcoming theatrical release of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor on 8/1).

My collection won't be near complete untill I get that Psycho-Legacy. It better not be rumored.

Another version of 1999's The Mummy? I thought the "Ultimate Editon" was pretty good.
I also noticed that they released a new slimmed down version of To Kill a Mockingbird minus the lobby cards/booklet (or whatever was included).

Anyway, not sure if this means anything, but during the last recall at work, Psycho and Rear Window were two titles that were listed as going OOP. They weren't the only Universal titles I saw (apparently, the John Hughes movies they have are going OOP as well), but since Psycho has been rumored for a while now to get a Legacy Edition release, it could be a sign that it's coming.

The new 1932 Mummy DVD should be nice, and mayb the 2 disc Mummy Returns, depending on what will be on it. As for Van Helsing, I enjoyed the movie, I'd like to see what exactly will be on this new collector's edition.

As the basis for my screen name I am obviously a '32 Mummy fan. And even though I think this a triple dip for me, count me in. New Universal Monster doc has my name written all over it (literally and figuratively)
