Bon Voyage Charlie Brown: And Don't Come Back!
It was never released on DVD, so a BD release is unlikely. Still waiting to get rid of the VHS copy.....

Roger & Me
The Big One
Bowling for Columbine
Fahrenheit 9/11
Sicko
^^I'm not slamming Moore here; I'm just saying that Blu ray is a highly limited format for catalog titles in a way that DVD wasn't at its 3-4 year mark.

And when you have documentaries which don't necessarily benefit greatly from Blu-ray, plus a Michael Moore documentary which has a more defined demographic and I doubt these would be good candidates.

I'd say that other than a few by Criterion, Michael Moore's films are the most likely catalog documentaries to be released. Love him or hate him, his films make money.

Lawrence looks like it'll finally see the light of day, probably for the anniversary. Bill Hunt posted a Q&A with the a Sony senior VP about it. His answer....
Q: Can you talk about other classic film restorations from Sony that you're working on? What else is coming for theatrical revival and Blu-ray release? We're thinking of titles like Lawrence of Arabia, On the Waterfront and From Here to Eternity. We'd heard that the Lawrence restoration has already been completed...
A: Actually, Lawrence is not completed, yet, though we have begun work on it. It is a complicated project and will certainly take a year to complete. The 8K scans of the negative are done, so we are at least headed down that road. The Caine Mutiny is in the works, as is Guns of Navarone. We recently released a major restoration of The Bridge on the River Kwai, both theatrically and on Blu-ray, and it has been very well received. The other classic titles will find their way out to Blu-ray and I think it is just a matter of finding the right time to schedule those.

One of my all-time favs that saw a vert limited dvd release and then was quickly taken out of print:
"Cannery Row" (Winger/Nolte)
Not a movie, but a tv show:
Batman (60s/70s show)

The "Prehysteria" series, Not even on DVD as of March 2011. I would give up purchasing any additional blu-rays/DVDs for two years, if they would be relased on @least dvd. They are a part of my childhood and I would really love to watch them again.
