I'd like to see an "ultimate edition" of Enemy Mine (1985), and by "ultimate edition" I mean not only footage deleted from the release version (if any), but whatever footage was shot for the "original" version of the film by first director Richard Loncraine. I'd love to see the "ice planet" footage, for whatever it would be worth toward an understanding of studio thinking.

Management might also give some thought to putting out a restored version of its fun horror film The Undying Monster (1942). I'd sure look favorably on it.

I'll second THE UNDYING MONSTER (1942).

Also, I'd like DR. RENAULT'S SECRET (1942)

Jane Eyre ('44). Astonished this is still unreleased.
The much-teased "Lodger/Hangover Square" double feature.
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
Bedazzled ('67, although I gave up and got the R2 version)

Royal Flash? I think Fox has it.

and the six episodes of "Police Squad"

I think Paramount owns "Police Squad!", although I second the request for those episodes.
