Mel Brooks' films:
Silent Movie

To Be or not to Be (1983 and starring Mel Brooks and his wife Anne "Mrs. Robinson" Bancroft)
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
rereleases of History of the World: Part 1 (and)
The Twelve Chairs (with extras);
Silver Streak
Only the Lonely
Dutch
Bedazzled
Nuns on the Run (and)
The Pope must Die (both starring Robbie Coltraine)
any Preston Sturges

extras on all would be great and appreciated.
Great to see we're sharing the love on these comedies.

anamorphic Romancing the Stone with extras from Zemeckis and all would much appreciated as well.

Silver Streak has been mentioned several times, but I'll be more than happy to mention it again.

Speaking of which: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother and The World's Greatest Lover. Why Fox has been sitting on these Gene Wilder classics for so long is beyond me.

Finally, a musical comedy: At Long Last Love.

The only Fox title on my "most wanted list" is Silver Streak.

Okay, I'll throw out the most unlikeliest of Fox comedy options, but still something I'd love to see. How about a collection of the "JONES FAMILY" movie series (1936-40), with Spring Byington and Jed Prouty? Nice little domestic comedies, in the vein of Columbia's "Blondie" films and Paramount's "Henry Aldrich" films. Those movies (15 or more in all) have seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. I'm only aware of them through a few scattered videotape bootlegs. They haven't been aired on television for decades and decades (I think they were once part of some NTA package of Fox B's, circulating on tv mostly in the late-50s and early-60s).

Robin Hood Men In Tights

This is the ONLY catalog title that I am waiting for. After all this time we better get a nice special edition. Otherwise a bare bones release should have been put out a while ago.

Not sure if Fox still has the rights to this one, but I've always thought this one was a lot of fun.

License to Drive (haven't seen this movie in yrs.)
Dutch
Silent Movie
High Anxiety
Mischief
Chase (Charlie Sheen)

Basically, My #1 wish is to see Silent Movie & High Anxiety on DVD in OAR since I am a Mel Brooks fan.

The Chase starring Charlie Sheen & Kristy Swanson is one movie which i would defintely love to see on DVD in OAR. I have liked this movie since I saw it on Comedy Central during the 1990's but I haven't seen it in years.

I want Dutch on DVD in OAR. I watched this movie everytime in was on Comedy Central during the 1990's but I haven't seen it in years.

Mannequin: On the Move to the list. I would defintely purchase Mannequin: On the Move on DVD if released in OAR.

Some people tried to mention that MGM probably owns this title but according to the IMDB page at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102395/companycredits & the TV guide page at http://www.tvguide.com/movies/databa...e.asp?MI=34773 mentions FOX as the distrubutor.

Silver Streak - a true travesty that this isn't out yet.
Amen. And worse yet, last time I remember hearing Mr. Staddon mention the possibility of Silver Streak making it to stores, it was as part of a (if memory serves) "budget comedy series."

Pretty shabby treatment for one of the top ten grossing films of that year and one of the biggest grossing comedies of the 1970s.

I'm guess there's hardy any hope but how about George Cukor's THE MODEL AND THE MARRIAGE BROKER. I just saw the film and it was great. Maybe as part of a classic comedy pack?

"Silver Streak" hits DVD on December 14th, and it will be a catalog release with the film in widescreen and just the trailer.

I'd love to see:

High Anxiety
Silent Movie
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
re-release of History of the World, Part 1, even though the non-anamorphic version still looks good even to this day, I want some extras.
Nuns on the Run
The Chase
Only The Lonely
Fatso (not exactly a comedy, but close enough)
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (Criterion will release it sometime in 2005, and this comes straight from Roger Ebert)

In case some of you might have missed the announcement, License to Drive is apparently being released on DVD next year by Anchor Bay...
