Went back to my from a year and half ago and amended it with what's transpired since then.
- The remaining Godzilla films, as well as anything kaiju related: any of Honda's other genre films, the Yokai films, Guilala, ect.
- The remaining Universal Monster Legacy sets (Dracula, Mummy, Invisible Man, Creature) as well as their most prominent non-monster films from the same era like The Black Cat (a Karloff/Lugosi set?)
- As many of the other Hammer Horror films as possible. The essential ones I want are the few left from WB and several favorites (The Devil Rides Out, Quatermass and the Pit) which are in the domain of Studio Canal/Lionsgate. With Lionsgate going headlong into cult titles I think this is more possible.
- We have Cat People from Criterion, now the rest of the Val Lewton catalog.
- Blu-Ray version of Warner's complete Thin Man movie series (I think this should be a general, retail release) as well as their box set of other films where William Powell and Myrna Loy were teamed (bit more obscure, this could be from the Archive).
- The rest of the Marx Brothers film, all owned by WB.
- Plenty of swashbucklers Warner owns: Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, The Crimson Pirate, The Flame and the Arrow, Scaramouche, The Spanish Main, and anything else of that genre.
- All of the classic romantic comedies Warner owns featuring folks like Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart: The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, Shop Around the Corner... oh, and the Gary Cooper/Barbara Stanwyck classic Ball of Fire (owned by Samuel Goldwyn, currently licensed to Warner)
- Other Warner genre films not already covered in the Special Effects Collection: The Thing From Another World, Gwangi, Giant Behemoth, Black Scorpion
- The '50s War of the Worlds.
- Pretty much the entire contents of Universal's classic sci-fi DVD set, mostly Tarantula and The Incredible Shrinking Man.
- Criterion upgrades: Thief of Bagdad, Red Beard, and all the Chaplin and Lloyd films they haven't released yet.
- Dersu Uzala. KINO's DVD looks very poor.
- Robert Altman's Popeye (Paramount)
Oddly, I life out the complete Pink Panther series back then. A big omission, but one I no longer have to worry about.
