I'm with Travis on this one. Filmmaking hasn't fallen, and there are tons of forgettable movies made back then, too. We only remember the classics through rose-colored glasses because they're, well,
classics.

Well a lot of what i woul like is already mentioned but borrowing from a post earlier i will break this down into live action and animation
Live Action:
Detour (Criterion - please do this as was stated on dvdbeaver as a joke)
Universal Monsters (All Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Creature In 3D and flat) after they all have gone throuh a simular process that WB did with Casablanca anything less would be unacceptable.
Song of the South (Disney ??? will the ever happen???)
Animated:
Universal - Complete Woody Woodpecker Theatrical Collection in sequential order (never finished on DVD)
WB - Tom & Jerry Theatrical Collection in sequential order (HB through Dietch through Chuck Jones include all special features as before in HD and no ommiting toons this time)
Fantasia- Yes i know it is scheduled to come out but i want Disney Co to release it as it was originaly, no edits, no zooming, no changing the original artistry that went into the film, they are bad at editing out the past or modifying to the current trend, no smoking or more contriversal material.
i have others that will never see blu for some time if ever, but great B series like Rathbone Holmes would be ripe for a set considering UCLA just restored those a few years ago so who knows, but this format should be used to preserve the past in the best way possible

1.) The Man Who Would Be King - Great movie, horrible flipper DVD with atrocious sound and missing dialogue.
2.) Grand Prix - Supposedly the restored HD version using the original 65mm film elements appeared fantastic.
3.) Strategic Air Command - Starring Jimmy Stewart. Not the best movie of all time, but the flying scenes of the gargantuan B-36 bombers are spectacular. Never released on DVD to my knowledge.
