DEADLINE U.S.A. (H. Bogart, Fox)
A FOREIGN AFFAIR (M. Dietrich, J. Arthur, Paramount)
PANIC IN THE STREETS (R. Witmark, P. Douglas, Fox)
EXECUTIVE SUITE (W. Holden, W. Pidgeon, F. March, N. Foch, B. Stanwyck, J. Allison, D. Jagger, MGM)
BLONDE VENUS (M. Dietrich, H. Marshall, Universal, really Paramount)
EASY LIVING (J. Arthur, R. Milland, Universal, really Paramount)
TWENTIETH CENTURY (J. Barrymore, C. Lombard, Columbia)

MAJOR BARBARA (W. Hiller, R. Harrison, ??studio??)
LAUREL & HARDY (ALL THE HAL ROACH SOUND SHORTS AND FEATURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
WARNER BROTHERS CARTOONS (ALL TITLES ISSUED BETWEEN 1930 AND 1960, ORGANIZED BY DIRECTOR!!!!)
BETTY BOOP CARTOONS (ALL OF THE CLASSIC EARLY 1930'S)
How's that for a start?
I have one that I can't believe has been mentioned yet and I will not buy it unless it is OAR and has at least its trailer. The film is:
Mom and Dad Save The World
Unfortunatly, the rights are under the wing of HBO Home Video and knowing them, they wouldn't give this film SE treatment. What they should do is license the film to Anchor Bay Entertainment and give it the five star treatment with a THX anamorphic widescreen transfer and a Dolby Digital Surround EX mix and DTS mix and anything related to this movie created as extras. This is one fun movie and it needs the treatment it deserves.

I have The Lost Films Of Laurel & Hardy vol. 2. I sold vol. 1 to a member here on the forum about 1 month ago. I also have Laurel And Hardy And Friends. All are Hal Roach Studio releases.
I'm adding my list (which is far from complete) of my most wanted films on DVD (I'm a real film fanatic). In order to make it shorter, this list is only for my most wanted English Language films. I would like to check this list in one year's time to see how many of these can be crossed out.
