If u guys had to take educated guesses on which catalog titles will be released next for the remainder of the year what would you say? Is there any clairvoyants out there in the blu ray community?

Me, I keep an eye on Instant Netflix--
If an old 70's/80's catalog title suddenly comes out with a spiffy new cover and a hi-def download print, there's a pretty good chance the studio has looked at it recently, and/or has some idea to remarket it to an unsuspecting public by associating it with some other recent hit.

(Either that, or every few months I count my remaining DVD shelf, and try to make a list of what I have left that they'll "never do"--
"Let's see, Clue, it'll be a while for that one; Treasure Planet, Disney doesn't know that one even exists anymore; Yellow Submarine's still tied up by the lawyers, and oh, gotta hang onto that old bootleg of Giorgio Moroder's Metropolis, there's one that'll never see the light of day..."
Just last week I thought they MIGHT do one of "The Bounty" and it turned up in France. So I have to be careful when I do it. )

And if I had an old DVD of Dick Tracy, I'd have probably looked at that one despairingly last month, too.
Although I did cast a questioning eye at Singin' in the Rain...
