Films in urgent need

OK, here's a stereotypical thread question.

Do have a short list of films that, in your opinion, are most urgently in need of restoration by virtue of their artistic/historical value, or the precarious condition of the existing materials?

Definitely, there are lots of older films that keep showing up on Bargain basement DVD's that need urgent attention, seince most of the masters still exists (no the edited ones that on these dvd's) and plenty of them are owned by MGM and such .

Lassie and the paninted hills. I think ROAN DVD did a restored version on fullscreen from an old print but it still isnt as good as what could be done on an original master.

The swiss conspiracy, it would be nice to see the original film as intended by MGM (I think it was either MGM or some other company)

The agency (1980) simple it stars the six million dollar man, yet alone an unedited versioun with a good widescreen transfer would be welcome.

Gold- 1975, a great roger Moore film which has a cult following, not to mention maurice binder dsigned title credits and a great score and theme song.

Raymond, I don't think you understand the purpose of this section. The question is directed toward Robert Harris. Questions to the general HTF population are posted in the regular sections, such as "Movies".

They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
