The westerns and musicals named in the lists have great appeal. I have an excellent Ruggles of Red Gap from the UK on Blu.
Well, I can think of another reason why the 1931 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (and several other titles mentioned) wouldn't be included in this specific deal: we were told that the movies included in this deal cover the years from 1932-2009. So a number of titles mentioned prior to that are unlikely to come from Kino at this time.I've noticed a couple of people putting the 1931 Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde on their lists. I stand to be corrected but I believe the rights to that are now held by Warners, not Universal. Like Universal's 1936 Show Boat, MGM got the rights when they made the remakes. The 1931 Jekyll was released on a double feature DVD with the 1941 remake by Warners (who controls the MGM library)..

I remember seeing that in theaters...!W.C. Fields and Me (1976) [Guilty Pleasure ]
If you hate lists, please move on rather than simply criticizing this one. Thanks.
Now that Kino has told us there are 100 films in their new Universal deal, I have pulled that studio's titles from my wist list and am replicating it below. Obviously, those in the spirit of this kind of post are encouraged to add to it. There are several pre-1949 Paramount titles which I assume Universal now owns. List does not include silent films.
Abbott and Costello: HOLD THAT GHOST; TIME OF THEIR LIVES; MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE; BUCK PRIVATES COME HOME; MEET THE KILLER; RIDE 'EM COWBOY
W.C. Fields: THE BANK DICK; NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK; IT'S A GIFT...basically, all the Paramounts, perhaps as a box set?
All unreleased (domestically on Blu-ray) Paramount Preston Sturges films.
