Holy Matrimony
It's a 1943 comedy starring Monty Wooley (The Man Who Came to Dinner) and was nominated for the Best Screnplay Oscar.
Fox has never released it on video.

Bedazzled (1967) - One of my favorite comedies. The remake pales against the original film. One of the few Dudley Moore films I truly enjoy. Peter Cook is terrific in this film.
The Flim-Flam Man
A Guide For the Married Man - One of my guiltiest pleasures with a fine comedic performance from Walter Matthau.
Heaven Can Wait (1943) - Great use of color in this Ernst Lubitsch classic.
How To Steal A Million - Audrey Hepburn.
It Happens Every Spring - Used to watch this on tv all the time many years ago. Would love to see it released.

Well I can never keep track of what films are owned by what studio, but I'll second the following that have been mentioned:
A Guide For the Married Man - nothing to feel guilty about
How To Steal A Million - this is coming on Dec. 7
Silver Streak - a true travesty that this isn't out yet.

George - Thanks for the information regarding How To Steal A Million. Hopefully Fox will see fit to release Two For The Road.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights (Weren't we supposed to get this a long time ago?)
License to Drive *Heather Graham is HOT
Porky's Revenge
And even though they're not 20th Century Fox titles, I desperately want these two titles on DVD in 16:9 widescreen.
The Wizard (1989) - Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis, Luke Edwards, Beau Bridges, and Christian Slater (Universal)
Ladybugs (1992) - Rodney Dangerfield, Jonathan Brandis, and Vinessa Shaw (Paramount) *Vinessa Shaw is HOT

I've also been wanting "Robin Hood: Men In Tights". To this day, it still remains one of my all-time favourite comedies. I'm really surprised that it's taking this long to get it released.
750 titles and counting......

I want "Downtown". It's a 1989 action-comedy-drama (released in 1990 for some peculiar reason) that was directed by Richard Benjamin and written by "Night Court" writer Nat Mauldin. It was a lower-budget take on the "Lethal Weapon"/"48 HRS" type of movie that starred Anthony Edwards, Forest Whittaker, Penelope Ann Miller, Joe Pantoliano and David Clennon. It had a great middle-school rap soundtrack and one character gets a death scene that precedes a similar one from 1996's "Fargo".
Also:
"The Pirate Movie"
"Unfaithfully Yours" (both the original and the Dudley Moore remake)
Sincerely,
John Kilduff...
"Downtown" and "Night Court" both have that great mixture of comedy and drama.
