Since this will be sent to the studio, you should only pick 5 titles as requested by Ken_Jones.

Just a note to say that I've amended my list on page 1 of this thread, due to MGM no longer having the rights to a favorite British genre title of mine, so I'm hoping that Anchor Bay will take up the slack.

 

[Mark Cappelletty]

DELICATESSEN (Miramax rel. by Paramount Home Video)
MAP OF THE HUMAN HEART (nice to see other people love this as well!; Miramax rel. by HBO)
DROWNING BY NUMBERS (Miramax/Prestige rel. by LIVE
FROM BEYOND (Empire Films rel. by Lightning Video)
DUST DEVIL (Miramax/Millimeter rel. by Paramount Home Video)
The Belly of an Architect was a Hemdale release, so I don't know if that will work, unfortunately. Same goes for other great titles like Miracle Mile (Hemdale on HBO Home Video) and Near Dark (DEG on HBO Home Video) that would be best served by Anchor Bay.

Just give me The Ninth Configuration and Santa Sangre and I'll be a very happy camper!
Come on guys, let's see some more votes for TNC! Pretty please?

[Mark Edward Heuck]

The Hemdale titles you mentioned are in fact owned by MGM; they just recently released BELLY OF AN ARCHITECT on VHS.
NEAR DARK, as a former DEG title, is well within the possibility of an Anchor Bay release. I'm surprised though that they have not announced it alongside all the other DEG films they have issued. Perhaps they're hoping to lure Kathryn Bigelow and Bill Paxton for participation.
FROM BEYOND I am not so sure on. This reteaming of Yuzna and Gordon has never gotten the deluxe treatment that RE-ANIMATOR received, and that's probably because Empire had stronger rights to it than RE-ANIMATOR. So it very well could either be held by Band's Full Moon company, or in the package of Empire films that went from them to Trans World to Polygram to MGM.

[Jodee]

I thought DROWNING BY NUMBERS is an Artisan title? I believe they put out the most recent VHS release.
I'd love to see this film released on DVD.

Jodee,
You're right that Artisan currently (still?) has the video rights to Drowning By Numbers, but it's been suggested that the rights to that and other early (1988-1993) Miramax titles are reverting back to Miramax, who in turn is licensing them to Anchor Bay (at least that's what apparently happened with Cook, Thief; Strapless; etc.).
I'd love to see a really good transfer of The Piano, too.

After looking at the possible titles Anchor Bay could get (there's so many!), the five I'd like to see are:
1. The Plague Dogs--Martin Rosen's other animated movie based on a Richard Adams novel. This was independently produced and released, and the video has been long out of print. The film is darker, bleaker, better animated, and more powerful than Watership Down. Possible extras--commentary by Rosen, interview with Adams, production art, character sketchbook, making of documentary, trailer.
2. The Navigator: A Mediaevel Odessey--a special edition is in order for this great little movie, especially in light of the horrible pan-and-scan version released by Hen's Tooth. Possible extras--commentary by director Vincent Ward, storyboard montages (like on Supergirl DVD), still gallery, trailer.
3. Lunatics: A Love Story--an independent, strange romantic comedy directed by Josh Becker (Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except and Running Time, both released by ABay) and starring Ted Raimi, Deborah Foreman, and Bruce Campbell. The movie has never even been released as a sell-through video. Possible extras--commentary by Becker, Campbell, and Foreman; outtake reel; still gallery; trailer; talent bios.
4. Miracle Mile--I know this is a Columbia title, but it was also distributed by Hemdale, from whom Anchor Bay has licensed movies before. An extremely underrated science fiction film. Possible extras--commentary by writer/director Steve De Jarnatt and actor Anthony Edwards, still gallery, any deleted scenes still surviving, trailer.
5. The Company of Wolves--its been mentioned before, but it deserves mentioning again. Possible extras--commentary by director Neil Jordan, special effects featurette, storyboard montages, archive interview with author Angela Carter, trailers, tv spots, still gallery.
Well, that's it. I hope the final list to Anchor Bay contains more than five titles, since there are so many good ones that aren't even mentioned yet, like Steven Soderbergh's Kafka, Richard Stanley's Dust Devils, and Aria.
