Loads of titles -- the 1992 documentary "Oscar's Greatest Moments", the 1980 Kevin Brownlow/David Gill miniseries "Hollywood", a couple of the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award shows (I have the one for Henry Fonda on LD), from assorted boxsets -- two that come to mind are both "The Dawn of Sound" sets and the Al Jolson boxset, one or two titles in those MIA on dvd.

Many independent productions from small production companies that may well have gone out of business since the 80s and early 90s -- also some oddities, the colorized version of "King Kong" is one that comes to mind.

Many of the early dvds were taken from laserdisc transfers (letterboxed, but not anamorphic) and one or two have not been upgraded to this day -- Universal's "The Hindenburg" is probably one of the notable titles in this state currently.

Roman Scandals (1933), The Kid From Spain (1932), and Strike Me Pink (1936) are available on PAL DVD from Spain.

I'm kinda weary of Spanish DVD's since many of them are NTSC masters that have been field-converted to PAL and look awful. All of them are Goldwyn titles, so I'm waiting on Warner Archive to deliver them instead. They did a wonderful job bringing out Whoopee (1930) and Kid Millions (1932).

THE GLASS MENAGERIE (1987, directed by Paul Newman)
THIEF OF BAGHDAD (1961, Steve Reeves)
MORGAN THE PIRATE (1961, Steve Reeves)
OBSESSION (1976)--I list this, because it was the only release of the film with Bernard Herrmann's great score isolated on an audio track
THE INCIDENT (1967)
THE MASK (1961)--rumored to be coming out late this year
these titles are off the top of my head-I'm sure there are others I'm not recalling at this time
