I'm new to the forum, so I'd like to add votes for Freaks, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and East of Eden. Others on my DVD wish list I'm extremely nervous about:
Remember the Night (Stanwyck/MacMurray)
Captains Courageous
Oscar and Lucinda
My Family (Mi Familia)
A Canterbury Tale (Powell/Pressburger)
Swoon
Pretty Poison
King of the Hill (the Soderbergh film)
Cider with Rosie (British telefilm)
Homefront (the TV series)
any Garland film
and the remaining Hitchcocks, especially Lifeboat, Foreign Correspondent, I Confess, and Stage Fright

"The Compleat Beatles" (unauthorized by the Fab 4, so won't likely see the light of day until Sir Paul passes)
"The Compleat Al" (Weird Al parody of the Compleat Beatles with all of his early videos) very funny stuff
"The Other Side of Midnight" (trashy Sheldon novel made into great erotic cinema)
YEAAAA! I no longer have to list "Once Upon a Time in Ameica" and "Midnight Run"...both due in June...FINALLY

Night of the Comet. There wasn't even a laser disc release (that I'm aware of).
Fire and Ice is currently available in R4 (Australia).

Skidoo (1966, Paramount)-Directed by Otto Preminger with music by Harry Nilsson (who also appears). The film stars Jackie Gleason, Groucho Marx, Carol Channing, Frankie Avalon (who is hilarious), Mickey Rooney, Cesar Romero, Peter Lawford, Burgess Meredith, Arnold Stang, Austin Pendleton as The Professor, Frank Gorshin, and quite a few other names. Despite the fantastic cast, the film has NEVER been released on any form of home video in this country. I believe this could be at the behest of the Preminger, Gleason, and Marx estates in particular, as the film depicts Gleason freaking out on acid and Groucho smoking a blunt, and I also believe that Otto himself was experimenting with psychedelic drugs at the time. However, it IS incredibly fascinating, and the sight of Meredith (who plays a prison warden), and Lawford (who plays a Senator) having a conversation while tripping on LSD has stayed with me for a long time. While not the best film ever made by any means, it definitely deserves to be more widely seen. If anyone knows more info on the issues surrounding this film, please reply...

PHASE IV and LONG WEEKEND, two spectacular yet little know sci-fi/horror gems. I would kill to have these two on DVD, as both are enormous favorites, but I worry that they are so unknown that they may not be released.

I believe a while back Martin Blythe indicated that BUGSY MALONE was indeed in the works for R1, because it was listed among a small group of titles where added value features were being debated. He had asked HTF members which deserved priority.
NIGHT OF THE COMET and the Will Vinton Claymation film ADVENTURES OF MARK TWAIN are owned by MGM, so never say never -- they will often release just about anything.
The stuff that I fear may never see legit release on DVD:
Peter Watkins' PRIVILEGE
Olsen & Johnson's HELLZAPOPPIN' (I bought the questionable R4 edition with reel breaks, likely that'll be it)
Alan Rudolph's REMEMBER MY NAME
Tom Schiller's NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
Victor Nunez's GAL YOUNG 'UN and A FLASH OF GREEN
Eagle Pennell's THE WHOLE SHOOTIN' MATCH and LAST NIGHT AT THE ALAMO
Roberto Faenza's CORRUPT (uncut, not the COPKILLER TV cut)
John Binder's UFORIA
Robert Altman's IMAGES
Vernon Zimmerman's DEAD HEAD MILES
Gordon Willis' WINDOWS
THE BUTTERFLY BALL
Tom O'Horgan's FUTZ
Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 (NC-17 version) and LUNA
I'm sure I'll think of more.
