I couldn't find these, so I should add them:

Warner Bros (rights)

The Old Maid (1939)
Old Acquaintance (1943)
Sweet Bird of Youth (1962)
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1962)

and

Design for Living (1933) Originally release by Paramount, I'm guessing Universal has the rights

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Updated.

 

[Matthew Prince]

So many pages to check, I don't know if I got these...

BATMAN (1989) - A 2-disc set with a new 16x9 transfer, 5.1 AND DTS (what IS it with Warner and DTS? Do they hate it?) sound, a Retrospective documentary, Audio commentary, set and costume design featurettes, Special effects featurettes, a featurette on the general film score and interviews with Prince and his music videos, deleted scenes with optional commentary, a look at the merchandising boom (!) around the movie and maybe Easter Eggs...

BATMAN RETURNS (1992) - (Michelle Pfeiffer is the REAL Catwoman!) Special features as above!

FACE/OFF (1997) - How about 5.1 AND DTS sound, Audio commentary, a new 16x9 transfer, a general making of, individual Stunt & Special effect featurettes, the set & costume design featurettes, deleted scenes with optional commentary, featurette on the film score, some Easter Eggs and hopefully a Profile of John Woo's style and technique of filiming...

POLTERGEIST 1 (1982) - A new 16x9 transfer, remixed 5.1 sound, Retrospective doc (if you want, you can mention the 'curse'), Audio commentary, Deleted scenes with audio commentary, Biographies and filmographies, Special effects and set design featurettes and Easter Eggs...? The same goes for POLTERGEIST 2 (1986) and 3 (1988)

CASINO (1995) - Long overdue for a 2-disc set, new 16x9 transfer, 5.1 (& maybe DTS?) sound, Retrospective doc, costume and set design, Soundtrack featurette, Documentary or interviews with the REAL gangsters (!), Audio commentary (if possible), Deleted scenes with audio commentary, Biographies and filmographies

TRUE LIES (1994) - Ignoring the state of World politics, this is still a damn fine movie! You know I want a proper 2-disc set - movie on one, extras on the other!

I'm sure the "Governator" surely can take some time out of his 'hectic ' schedule to contribute... I'm talking Disc 1 - 5.1 EX and 6.1 DTS sound, New 16x9 transfer, Audio commentary. Disc 2 - A general behind the scenes (EPK stuff...), Individual Stunt & Special effect featurettes, The set & costume design featurettes, Deleted scenes with optional commentary, Featurette on the film score and some Easter Eggs.

MALCOLM X (1992) - A magnificent movie like this deserves a 2-disc edition by now! Disc 1 - new 16x9 transfer, 5.1 sound, additional scenes (Director's Cut?). Disc 2 - An extensive Retrospective/Making Of doc, a mini-doc on Malcolm X, one on the merchandising (!), deleted scenes with audio commentary, the sets and costume design featurettes...

And to cut things short, a few more...

LAST ACTION HERO (1993) - Very underrated... 2-Disc set, deleted scenes and DTS?

YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES (1985) - Paramount's vanilla DVD is rubbish! (And I'm sure Paramount hates DTS as well...) Even a featurette on the then-revolutionary Special Effects (the plate-glass soldier was designed by a team led by John Lasseter before he joined Pixar!) would improve things!

TIMECOP (1994) - New 16x9 transfer, extras & DTS!

HARD TARGET (1993) - 2 Disc set including DTS and Original AND John Woo's much bootlegged Director's Cut.

SUDDEN DEATH (1995) - New 16x9 Tranfer, extras & DTS! (You could call the trilogy... Triple VanDammage! TM)

AIRPLANE (1980) - Do it justice, Paramount! A Retrospective with interviews with the cast and crew and find some deleted scenes! The same for the sequel...

THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUCHAUSEN (1988) - Hilarious! Long overdue for an SE. Monty Python and the... Holy Grail, Meaning Of Life and Life Of Brian all have Special Editions. So why can't this similar movie have one?

GREASE 1 & 2 - Don't get me started! The new release was pitiful! How about a proper Retrospective documentary (I've even seen them on network TV around the anniversary!), deleted scenes, outtakes, storyboards, set and costume designs, casting tapes? amybe another Doc on the worldwide Grease phenomenon (stage shows, soundtracks, fan clubs, tribute acts, memorabilia...) You know... I'm doing your job for ya!

And just to be crazy...
HOWARD THE DUCK (1986) - Pan N Scan/WS, I don't care! 5.1 sound, yes please! I'd love it even more if Universal persuaded/bribed the Director to do an Audio commentary and offered Deleted scenes with Audio commentary OR the Uncut version of the movie.

BIGGLES: ADVENTURES IN TIME (1986) - A proper 16x9 transfer or at least a 1.78:1 trasnsfer and 5.1 sound in addition to the decent (Region 2) extras.

Thanks, Herb. I've removed all the ones you've noted, plus a whole bunch of other stuff that's recently been released or announced.

I think that's the way I'll be removing titles from now on. Once it's announced I'll just remove it from the list and mention it as a reply message.

P.S. Ghost Dad and D.C. Cab were just announced.

This movie is my all-time favorite. It FAR surpasses Seabiscuit, which is good in its own right.


Please, please, please can someone help vote for it to be released on DVD??? There is a vote option on Amazon.

I didn't see it on your list. I did the search page thing. I apologize if by some mistake I missed it.
