Well, the only DVDs i'm waiting for is the Back to the Future trilogy. I expect them to be released full of extras.

And a couple of DVDs with the best of Seinfeld would be nice too. What do you think ?

Aside from the biggies I would love to see special editions of these titles.
Big Trouble In Little China(of course)
The Goonies
UHF
Rad
3 O`clock High
-Jack

Kolin: Yeah, Bernard Rose is good and "Paperhouse" is definitely an over-looked film.

Brad: How could I have forgotten "Nightbreed"?!? I second you on that one, as well as "Pacific Heights"

Jack: Thankfully, "The Goonies" should be out before Christmas

I guess the point of the MOST WANTED DVD LIST is that it's NEVER complete and always grows... a perenial work in progress if you will. Still, even though we all own some great DVDs...and there are even more confirmed to be on the way shortly... it's interesting to see just how many sought-after titles have yet to even be officially mentioned on the format.

One thing is for sure... I'll be buying DVDs in bunches for the next few years.

Well I think most of what I would want has been covered but I would like several disc's redone:
Fargo SE
A Taxi Driver SE that combines all the features that have been put out, especially Scorsese's commentary
Raging Bull SE
Midnight Cowboy SE
Kubrick SE's
Malick SE's

The two new things that I don't think anybody has posted that I would love to have are:
More Kurosawa DVD's (Rashomon, Ikiru, and Throne of Blood especially)
Miyazaki DVD's especially My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, but since these would be release by Buena Vista I know they're going to suck and be ultra expensive.

Abominable Dr. Phibes/Dr. Phibes Rises Again (double feature SE, widescreen only! no pan&crap)[obviously]
All the other Vincent Price AIP Poe series in widescreen double feature discs.
Witchfinder General (UK score)
Ruling Class (Peter O'Toole-commentary by him would be nice)
Stunt Man SE (coming someday???)
Haunting (1963) SE
I also agree with everyone else's lists. Cheers.

Something that I would really look forward to would be the entire Simpson's series. All cramed on as few disks as possible, I don't want no damn 2 episodes per disk crap. And including all of the shorts.

[Sid]

Star Wars 1,4,5,6
Indiana Jones Trilogy

#1- Accidental Tourist

#2- Anne of Green Gables/Anne of Avonlea, (made for T.V. versions with Megan Follows)

#3- Double Life of Veronique

#4- Cries and Whispers

#5- Housekeeping (1987 film with Christine Lahti)

#6- Manhattan

#7- Cry-Baby

#8- Song of Bernadette (Jennifer Jones)

#9- Three Colors Trilogy

#10- Ruby in Paradise (Ashley Judd)

Amen, chamfer. A one-deal disc set (whether it's a box-set or a 2-3 DVD-18s) that includes ALL of "The Simpsons" episodes plus supplemntal material MUST be made!! That would be amazing. Also, I would like a DVD port of the cool Complete Tex Avery Collection that came out on laserdisc a couple years back. We need that too!

Actually, forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I vaguely remember reading an interview with Matt Groening about a year or so ago. In it, he was asked about the future of The Simpsons and how long he thinks it will last. Basically, he said the show will go on for as long as both he and FOX believe it still has life and after its TV run he believes they will make one theatrical motion picture and be done with it.

If this is the case, what better time would there be to release the DEFINITIVE collection of "The Simpsons"?

Good call on the Three Colors Trilogy!!! Other foreign stuff I'd love to have:

Breaking The Waves
Zentropa
To Live
Ju-Dou
The King of Masks
Cinema Paradiso director's cut
Run Lola Run
The Red Violin
Children of Heaven
The Killer reissue
A Better Tomorrow

Speaking of foreign films on DVD... have I mentioned how VERY happy I am that both "Yojimbo" and its sequel ("Sanjuro") will be out via the Criterion Collection in just a few weeks!?

That makes 5 Kurosawa films on DVD. Just a small portion, but its growing (and its MUCH more substantial than the likes of, ahem!, other prolific filmmakers)

MTB: I agree. A European friend of mine won't get off my back about "The Big Blue." I told him I'd see it as soon as it was released on DVD. Hell, I told him I'd buy it.

[Deckard]

Well, I concur of course on

• The Godfather Trilogy
• Blade Runner (mixing the original and the director's cut and letting you choose, and with a lot of extras!)
• The STAR WARS trilogy

But, come on, there is nobody out there who wants to watch on DVD the best action flick of all times (with permission of ALIENS)?

POINT BREAK!

Kathryn Bigelow is well on par with her ex-hubby on that adrenaline-shot of a film.

JMM
:-)

How about V: The Mini-series, V: Final Battle
the entire Earth: Final Conflict series (yeah, right, I wish)... the whole V series, perhaps even ST: TMP... and just to round it off, seaQuest DSV AND 2032!!!

Star Wars Trilogy
Superman I, II, III, IV
Planet of the Apes (all films)
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Prisoner (full series plus Companion)
The Omen Trilogy
Star Blazers (all episodes)
The Last Place On Earth (full miniseries)
The Martian Chronicles (full miniseries)
Fawlty Towers (all episodes)
The Bad News Bears Trilogy
Soylent Green
The Day After
Time After Time
The Time Machine
Moby Dick (1956)
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1932)
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1941)
Inherit the Wind (1960)
The Fly (1958)
Mutiny On the Bounty (1962)
Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Jurassic Park
Charlie Brown TV Specials
A Boy Named Charlie Brown
Ed Wood
Treasure Island (1990)

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Mission Galactica- the Cylon Attack

The Omega Man
The Shape of Things to Come (1979)
Firefox
Starship Invasions
Starcrash

Plus just about every science fiction, fantasy, and espionnage TV series from the 1960s and 1970s.

Obviously, DVD has a long way to go yet before its selection satisfies me. Sadly, many of these titles aren't slated for release any time soon.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to see Star Blazers on dvd. Any word on this? I also saw a post about TPM on ld. any word on that. I'll wait for that before buying the VHSH#@*!
others include
Back to the Future
Jaws

St. Elmo's Fire
Fire in the Sky
Short Circut
Manequin

more DTS PLEASE!

Star Wars (of course)
Godfather Trilogy:SE
Braveheart:SE
Forrest Gump:SE

Sixth Sense:SE (get it right, Disney!)
Back to the Future Trilogy
Seven:Platnum Edition
American Beauty
Toy Story 1 as 2
Three Kings
Abyss:SE
