Digital Bits lists upcoming catalog titles for 2011 & 2012
From The Digital Bits:
Meet Me in St. Louis is the one on that list that I'm happiest about! I'm surprised that Dial M for Murder isn't listed among the 2012 WB titles - I remember that being rumored around the same time as The Postman Always Rings Twice, which was then listed as a double feature, though The Bits doesn't specify either way. I guess I'll have to wait until 2015 for a 60th Anniversary edition of Rebel Without a Cause.
Given all this great Blu-ray catalog release news of late, I thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a little rundown/update of some of the great titles that have been officially announced, have been officially (or unofficially) confirmed, or that we know from our industry sources are on the way to Blu-ray later this year or in 2012. Keep in mind, these are just the major highlights. MANY more good catalog titles have already been announced for Blu-ray release, and I'm certain there are titles that should be listed below that we've just overlooked (if so, we'll add them over the coming days). So here goes:
20th Century Fox/MGM - The Star Wars Saga (9/16), West Side Story (TBA late 2011), Patton (with updated transfer - TBA late 2011), more classic Bond (2012), more Rodgers & Hammerstein (2012), The Abyss (TBA 2012), True Lies (TBA 2012)
Criterion - High and Low (7/26), The Battle of Algiers (8/9), The Killing/Killer's Kiss (8/16), Orpheus (8/30)
Disney - The Fox and the Hound 1/2: 30th Anniv. (8/9), Dumbo: 70th (9/20), The Lion King (10/4), Lady and the Tramp (2012), Finding Nemo (TBA 2012)
Lionsgate - The Conversation (TBA 2011), MANY more Miramax titles (likely including Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, The English Patient and more - TBA 2011 & 2012)
Paramount - Breakfast at Tiffany's (8/25), Titanic (TBA early 2012), The Indiana Jones Trilogy (TBA late 2012)
Sony - Das Boot (7/5), Monty Python and the Holy Grail (TBA 2011), Ishtar (TBA), The Guns of Navarone (TBA 2012), Lawrence of Arabia: 50th Anniv. (2012), The Caine Mutiny (TBA, likely 2012)
Universal - Scarface (9/3), Jurassic Park Trilogy (TBA late 2011), Jaws (2012), The Birds (TBA late 2011), To Kill a Mockingbird (TBA)

I thought Indiana Jones already came out last year, according to The Digital Bits:
http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html#121509
As usual, grain of salt. Most of this stuff has already been announced, other stuff is very TBD.

So let's start with what we think are the most exciting developments first. Based on information gathered from scores of industry sources over the last few months, we have strong reason to believe that Lucasfilm and Paramount are planning to bow the classic Indiana Jones Trilogy on Blu-ray in 2010

This would be the 4th release of FMJ on Blu-ray (3rd if we ignore the Kubrick set).

Here's hoping The Abyss will be the director's cut. Will be happy to not only see this in HD, but in anamorphic no less 
Also, thrilled to see Killer's Kiss will be included with The Killing.

I think they've been screening an Ishtar: Director's Cut, so I imagine the new cut (and other extras to accompany it) is what delayed the disc.
The one thing that annoys me about this list is that it doesn't have Chinatown on it.

"That said, the studios are CONSTANTLY changing their plans right up to the date they make an official announcement, and even after sometimes. A report can be completely accurate at the time it's relayed to us, and posted in The Rumor Mill, and then plans are changed the next day!"

I'm not surprised TDB is still around, as they seem to be one of the most popular DVD/BD sites.
Although, I AM surprised that they still haven't changed that black background-white text design.

Here's a snippet from their Rumor Mill page:
"That said, the studios are CONSTANTLY changing their plans right up to the date they make an official announcement, and even after sometimes. A report can be completely accurate at the time it's relayed to us, and posted in The Rumor Mill, and then plans are changed the next day!"

I know, right? This list really is crap. I think a few members could have predicted better releases. Also, I like how he's so privy Criterion news.

I would love to be excited about Finding Nemo becuase it is one of my most wanted blus, but that always seems to be TBA for the next year... no matter what year it is.
I won't believe it until I havee the set in my hands.
