Of all my classic films on DVD, the Warner releases are my favorites.

I'd personally like to see a double-feature DVD with The Cameraman and Spite Marriage. Perhaps WB could commision new scores for the two. The Cameraman was restored in 1990 (watch the old MGM/UA tape and you'll see why) but still retained its horrible sounding piano score from 1927. With those two movies on DVD, it would complete the collection of Buster Keaton's silents (WB can wait for another decade for the talkies for all I care!)

Tod Browning could have another double feature consisting of Freaks and The Devil-Doll.

Some Warner releases I'd like to see:

Lon Chaney films (The Unknown, The Unholy Three (1925 and 1930 versions), Tell It To The Marines, etc...perhaps a box set of Chaney silents...)

MGM silents:
Greed
The Big Parade
The Crowd
Ben-Hur

Garbo/Gilbert silents:

A Woman of Affairs
Love
The Flesh and the Devil

Max Fleischer Popeye cartoons
