I can't argue against any on that list, save to add The Roaring Twenties and The Sea Hawk (and about 500 others )

The 1997 documentary, The Race to Save 100 Years, has also not been released on DVD and would make an excellent 'Special Feature' in a 2-Disc SE release of Gold Diggers of Broadway. *HINT,HINT*
The 1997 documentary, The Race to Save 100 Years, has also not been released on DVD and would make an excellent 'Special Feature' in a 2-Disc SE release of Gold Diggers of Broadway. *HINT,HINT*Releasing a 2 Disc SE of GOLD DIGGERS OF BROADWAY would be hard for WB to take a "hint, hint" about. The film doesn't exist in its entirety. Only 2 short sections have surfaced after years of archival exploration. One of those sections appeared on THE DAWN OF SOUND laserdisc. The other is a more recent discovery, per the Vitaphone project's newsletter.
I don't know if anyone else considers this one worthy of inclusion, but Claude Lelouch's brilliant 1995 adaptation of "Les Miserables", featuring a truly wonderful performance by Jean-Paul Belmondo, has not even been released on DVD AT ALL, much less a deluxe special edition, which I believe this film genuinely deserves. I still have my cherished laserdisc, and won't give it up until I can get me grubby mitts on a DVD copy of this marvel of French cinema.Oh most certainly yes! I've been scratching my head (for five years!) wondering why this amazing flick hasn't been released yet.
Space Jam was a horrible movie -- the new Looney Tunes flim was supposedly not that bad.
All the WB Tim Burton CatalogueIf you don't count the two Batman films (as they are likely to be released as part of a Batman SE Box Set), the only other Burton films that I am aware of that Warner has the rights to would be: 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure', 'Beetlejuice', and 'Mars Attacks!'. Are there any others that you were thinking of?
Of course by X-Mas of '05 we will likely see a 2-Disc SE DVD of Burton's upcoming remake of 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'.
