I was looking through my DVD collection the other day and checking out which ones needed to be upgraded from the bare bones versions to the special editions that are currently available. I decided to make note of which DVDs simply do NOT have a special edition at all. So this list isn't about movies that aren't on DVD yet, or DVDs that are SEs but you think they should be 2 disc sets, etc. I'm talking about movies currently on DVD that have NO special features at all and you're absolutely surprised the studios haven't released one yet, either because they were big box office hits, critical favorites or have found a dedicated cult following. Feel free to add to my list. This list involves region 1 releases only.

Air Force One
Beetlejuice
The Birdcage
Creepshow
Dick Tracy
Escape from LA
48 Hours
Fright Night
The Game
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - does have a commentary though-
Misery
Nightbreed
Poltergeist
Prince of Darkness
Raising Arizona
The Road Warrior
Scary Movie
Scream
They Live
True Lies
Under Siege
Wayne's World

I'm genuinely surprised that none of these have even a marginally decent special edition DVD release yet.

Any other additions?

Air Force One has a commentary.

The one that immediately springs to mind is L.A. Confidential. The current disc does have a couple featurettes and an isolated music track, but nothing substantial like a making-of doc or even a director/actor commentary track, which this movie sorely needs. One of the finest films of the past decade surely deserves better than a relatively barebones release.

A special edition is coming next year.

REGION 1

The Game
True Lies
Misery
Face/Off

Beetlejuice/Edward Scissorhands

Galaxy Quest

This kind of thread has been posted a million times, but my answer has not changed.

I believe a Poltergeist SE is planned for 2007 as well.

Scream has:
# Commentary by: director Wes Craven and writer Kevin WilliamsonDolby Digital 2.0
# Production Featurette
# Behind-the-Scenes Footage
# Q & A With Cast and Crew
# Special Effects Gallery
# Film Facts

Scream was released in a special edition.

Cool Hand Luke
Bonnie and Clyde
Night of the Hunter (Criterion?)
Lost Weekend
Touch Of Evil
The Apartment
Red River
Last Tango In Paris
Splendor In The Grass
Shampoo
Harold and Maude

Quiz Show - the "current" disc is sourced from an old laserdisc transfer riddled with edge enhancement, and the special features could be great, considering the history of the quiz show scandals.

The Shadow, or at least WS dammit!

The Graduate (Maybe for the anniversary this year?)

Badlands

Chinatown

Cool Hand Luke (In the works I think)

Days of Heaven

Manhattan

Annie Hall

Deathtrap

Sleuth

Bonnie and Clyde (In the works I think)

As reclusive as Malick is, I don't think we should expect a SE on either one of these any time soon.

Risky Business

Twister

Yeah, and I wouldn't expect SE's of Woody Allen films either.

that has already had a rerelease on dvd, but iam not sure what is on it.

The rerelease has some featurettes on the making of and the visual effects, etc. It's pretty decent.

Halloween II!

Braveheart

Last Emperor

Memphis Belle (still non-anamorphic!)

Would like to see what Anchor Bay could do with this one.

Lord of the Rings













actually, Adaptation, Lost in Translation, Thunderheart

A Time To Kill

I would love to get this one, but from what I hear, it's still a flipper! Won't go near it until something better comes out.
