Hmmm let's see...
-Universal Legacy Series (The recent Hitchcock's and To Kill a Mockingbird)
-Battlestar Galactica (I would so buy the complete series)
-Prison Break Season 2 (For symmetry)
-Night of The Hunter (Rumor was a two-disc SD DVD was on the way...)
-The Sopranos Complete Series, Deadwood Complete Series, John Adams, Generation Kill (The last two are pending, and I know HBO is going to release the other two...only a matter of time)
-Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown (Two great flicks that need the upgrade)
-Dragon Dynasty goes Blu (I would to have some high def kung fu)
-Warner makes lossless audio a requirement (Enough said)
On the TV side
-Cablevision adding additional HD channels (I just recently got Sci-fi and USA...fingers crossed for Cartoon Network)
-Comedy Central in HD (come on guys, get with the times)
My last one, and I was thinking about this the other day, have HD broadcast with less commercials and put all the commercials on the SD side of things. Fox has a great idea by airing less for certain shows, but let's get the other networks on board. Too many times am I watching something only to be sucked right out by 4-6 mins of shitty commercials.
Oh and I will also throw
for more Pixar flicks. And I would love to see more classic animation on Blu...still holding out for the Triplets of Bellvue

1. I would love to see L'eclisse and L'avventura through Criterion. Everything else is meaningless, in one way or another, to me.
2. IFC Films and Koch Lorber Films to join the rest of the distribs.
3. Artificial Eye to release The Man From London.
4. MEDUSA-Italia to transfer the Cinema Forever series to Blu-ray.
5. Koch Lorber Films to announce La Dolce Vita.
6. Warner and MK2 to put their differences aside and release the Chaplin collection (new HD masters are ready).
7. The Scandinavian release of Kieslowski's Three Colors Trilogy to make either through Artificial Eye or Miramax.
8. Russian Blu-rays are already out. Could Ruscico join in?
9. Optimum Releasing to tackle their Bunuel collection.
10. Rene Chateau in France to open up their catalog (don't have to be subbed in English).
11. I would love to see at least one title on Blu-ray by Zulawski (perhaps the friends from Mondo Home could afford it).
12. Oppo to release the solid region-free player people expect from them so film buffs could have access to great discs that are not found in their home land.
Other than than, a healthy 2009 is what I desire the most.
Pro-B

#4 won't happen. There are a lot of SD extras that exist for lots of catalog titles, and they can't just drop them because they're not HD. They also have to be mindful of the video bitrate for the feature, and many titles won't merit a second disc.

Newly produced extras should be considered in HD, although we've already seen some high-def extras be scaled down. (I seem to remember that being the case for one of the documentaries on The Searchers, and I know one of the Blade Runner docs was produced in HD but dumped on a DVD in that lavish 5-disc set.)

1) Lossless audio on every BD release, including when the disc also provides the original mix in mono or stereo. Why we get Dolby Digital mono when PCM could easily replace it is beyond me.
2) A beautiful U.S. Blu-ray release of Fight Club.
3) Higher quality cover art instead of Photoshop jobs that look like they were designed by teenagers.
4) End the ridiculous and shoddy packaging for boxsets. Criterion needs to dump this packaging they have come up with for Blu-ray.
5) More television sets on Blu-ray and start releasing prior seasons of shows that already have BD sets like Smallville and Lost.
6) I do think brick and mortar stores should price new release BDs a little more competitively but I understand the volumes may not justify it yet.

For blu-ray
All bonus features from DVD on the Blu-ray version
If there's a 3rd or 2nd bonus disc, instead of a digital copy, a DVD copy
Is it to much to ask to have both the theatrical and extended/director's cut on the same disc? DVD can handle the seamless branching.
Hammer collections
Legacy monsters
Pixar
