Movies I wish they'd finally release and movies that need better transfers

[boe]

I have a number of movies I've waited years for. Not all of them are masterpieces by any means but with all the really really crappy movies on BR these days some of these are classics in comparison.

Not yet released:
Bless the Child
Doc HollyWood
Eurotrip
If Looks Could Kill
LA Story
Man who knew too little
Real Genius
Secret of My Success
Seventh Sign
True Lies
Undercover Blues
War Games
Zorro the Gay Blade

Amadeus - the theatrical cut (much better than the director's) This was the movie I wanted MOST when BR was announced many years ago.


Movies they did a piss poor transfer on:
hot shots
Grosse Pointe Blank
Italian Job, The
Terminator

War Games was recently released and looks pretty damn good (at least to me). The foreign remaster of The Terminator is PHENOMENAL!!

I just posted this in another thread.

The Abyss
True Lies
Jaws 2
The Three Musketeers (Disney)
Critters
The Saint

I wish Mission Impossible I-III would be re-released with better transfers.

I'm sure you're all aware of this already but I felt it necessary to mention Terminator is in fact being released with a new transfer (same disc as the UK) considering boe listed Terminator as one in need of a new transfer. The Abyss and True Lies would be great of course and we will surely see them in the near future. I am also hoping to see The Odd Couple. As for films in need of a new transfer... The Fugitive and Robocop!! The Fugitive, who knows when? Robocop, on the other hand, will probably see a new master come the release of the remake.
