I just mentioned this in the Lake Placid thread, but Alligator and Them! really need to get the blu ray treatment (and some TLC needs to be applied to these films, like the care Lifeforce received from Shout).

"MouseHunt" with Nathan Lane, Lee Evans and Christopher Walken definitely needs a Blu-Ray release.

We need an After Hours Criterion three years ago.

I'd love to have some of the lesser known Hitchcock: Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Lifeboat, Suspicion, The Paradine Case, Stage Fright...

Arrow UK has this coming out next week. I'm pondering on getting it. It apparently has the workprint as an extra.

Did Philadelphia go out of print or is there a manufacturing flaw and it was pulled?

Isn't that a Twilight Time release? If so, it may have sold out. Did you check their site?

I'm STILL waiting for The Ghost and the Darkness! Preferably with a documentary on the real John Patterson and the Lions of Tsavo.

I can't believe True Lies isn't out on Blu-ray yet. Hopefully we get it soon.

Punch-Drunk Love- This is my most anticipated and long-waited-for title for bluray. What in the hell happened to it? Paul Thomas Anderson announced in 2011 or 2012 that he was working on it and it would be out within a year and it's now... nearly 2015. I've heard vague rumors that Criterion is getting their hands on it and that would be great but at this point we're moving into 4K TV's and whatever Blu-ray's susccessor is going to be.

Sydney (AKA Hard Eight)- P.T. Anderson's first movie. I'm a completist and it's damn good.

True Lies- I really have to say I'm sorry James Cameron fell down the rabbit hole to Pandora and has no time for anything else, like restoring a couple of his long-neglected classics. I've heard that a special edition DVD was in the works back when 9/11 happened and got shelved because... I don't know. because there was a grand shelving of terrorism-themed movies?

Kicking and Screaming (the Noah Baumbach one, not the Soccer one)- Criterion did this on DVD and it's a great edition. Not a visually spectacular movie, it'd just be nice to have it in HD.

Would also love to see the Busby Berkeley movies and some pre-code stuff come to HD. The Blue Angel finally made it via Kino. Would love to see The Story Of Temple Drake. Been hearing about that movie for years and it was never even released on DVD. Apparently you can watch a godawful-looking copy of it on YouTube, but it stars my favorite lady from the 30's (Miriam Hopkins) and I'd love to see her glistening in all her hi-rez glory on my TV.

Even though it was announced, I'm still waiting for a release date for Orson Welles' The Trial. Kino announced it over two years ago, yet nothing ever came of it.

Speaking of Welles (and not to get off track), what ever happened to the rumored DVD release of Journey into Fear? I recall during one of the Warner chats, they were looking at releasing it around the time they released The Magnificent Ambersons, but I never heard anymore about it. Anyone here know anything?

OldBoy 01-25-15 11:46 AM

why isn't The Hitcher (1986) on Blu-ray??

Prospero's Books as is Drowning by Numbers - is finally making it's bluray appearance from Japan in April - praying for no flesh censoring.

Busby Berkeley on Blu Ray
 
Has Warner Bros announced any plans to release a Blu Ray version of the Busby Berkeley box set please anyone know if this is "in the works"?

davidh777 01-26-15 10:59 AM

Re: When will Warner Bros release Busby Berkeley Blu Ray Box Set?
 
I bet they did prep work for at least some of this material a few years ago. I know George Feltenstein said they worked on all the Astaire-Rogers films. Then the BD catalog market died (see other threads for that discussion).

This. I bet 42nd Street would outsell some of their BD releases. And they're releasing Yankee Doodle Dandy, which is a better film but also a black-and-white musical so there's precedent.

This too.

Spiderbite 02-03-15 03:03 PM

Buck Rogers In The 25th Century (TV series)
Bully
Candyman
The Changeling (1980)
Glengarry GlenRoss
Grandma's Boy
Hardbodies
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
Just One Of The Guys
Miami Vice (TV series)
Mischief
Nemesis
Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
The Pirate Movie
Popeye (Robin Williams - 1980)
Return Of The Living Dead 3
The Rifleman (TV Series)
Sheitan
Spencer's Mountain

MOOOH 02-07-15 02:04 PM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Sweet Hereafter
The Cell (kinda iffy on the movie, but I bet it would amazing)

PhantomStranger 02-07-15 03:43 PM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
The Cell got a fairly mediocre Blu-ray release in Canada from an old transfer.

hanshotfirst1138 03-23-15 11:13 PM

Justice League Unlimited- Doubt that there's a chance in hell given how the previous seasons sold

Sleuth- This is hard to find even on DVD, it must be some sort of legal lockup, it's a fairly famous film.

Pizza 03-23-15 11:36 PM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
Xanadu
Valley of the Gwangi - Hopefully Twilight Time will be getting to this.
The rest of the Universal Horror Movies
and the Hammer films like the ones already released in the UK. Lord a Dracula box set would be awesome.

PhantomStranger 03-24-15 01:19 AM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
It is heavily rumored that Warner will get their Hammers out in 2015 or possibly 2016.

big e 03-29-15 02:09 PM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
Super Mario Bros. and Double Dragon. I know I'm probably in the extreme minority in wanting these titles, but they're both movies me and my brother use to watch all the time when we were kids. UK blus exist, but I would like something released state side so I didn't have to import.

Mike86 04-11-15 02:27 AM

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 
I know they aren't as good as the original but I'd love to see the sequels to Jaws put out. I actually like Jaws 2 quite a bit and the other two while not great have their fun cheesy moments. It'd be nice if Scream Factory or someone licensed the rights to get them all put out.

DVD Polizei 04-11-15 03:32 AM

Hill Street Blues
