Outside of OOP titles, titles released on Blu by large studios the DVD was licensed from (Universal: Spartacus, Do the Right Thing, etc.; Disney: Armageddon, The Rock, etc.), and titles shot on SD video (Beastie Boys Video Anthology, Hoop Dreams), my guess would be any of the DVD only releases since they started releasing Blu-ray (Spine #'s 450 and on).
Outside of those, among my favorites, I simply don't see them getting a better working relationship with the Russian film archives in order to release Ivan the Terrible Part I & II and Alexander Nevsky on Blu. I can't see the market being open to some of the great documentaries, either, such as Burden of Dreams, Grey Gardens or F for Fake, though the Blu-ray of Crumb gives some hope.
But my most wanted title that stands to be a long wait for a Blu-ray release, in my mind, is Big Deal on Madonna Street. Love that film, but not exactly a popular enough title to see a Blu in the near future.
