I've been hoping Shout do a Collector's Edition (4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack) release of Westworld and Futureworld.

And with any Warner Brothers and MGM-owned films licensed to Shout! Factory and any possible other boutique labels able to do a deal with Warner Brothers, ideally new restorations/masters with the original opening logos restored.

Seconding your Pink Panther films boxset wishlist title Nailwraps. I don't know if Fabulous Films still have the UK physical media rights for The Return of the Pink Panther, but as for the other films I have long hoped Arrow could do a boxset (A Shot in the Dark and The Pink Panther Strikes Again are my favourites in the series).

*****

Off the top of my head, the following I would like to see on Blu-ray or as a 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack release (I don't have a 4K Blu-ray set-up, so this would be fine with me, and Shout! Factory do a lot of these types of releases) next year:

Films:

- a Sleepaway Camp boxset (4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray) of Sleepaway Camp I-III, The Survivor (think that was the title of the fourth film) and Return to Sleepaway Camp, with new restorations/masters and uncut

- released together in a boxset, and with a separate releases option, Australian slashers Cassandra, Coda (aka Symphony of Evil), Early Frost and Innocent Prey (ideally all new restorations/masters)

- a boxset (or separate releases if they are indeed with different rightsholders) of the four Relentless films (starring Leo Rossi)

- a deluxe edition set/boxset of Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II and special editions of Prom Night III: The Last Kiss and Prom Night IV: Deliver Us from Evil (uncut and with new restorations/masters, alternative versions/cuts, making-of documentaries and interviews)

- the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, celebrating the film's 40th anniversary next year

- similar to Vinegar Syndrome's 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray release of the original Amityville Horror, a deluxe release of Amityville II: The Possession and Amityville 3-D (new restorations/masters with feature-length Making-of documentaries, cast and crew interviews, 'Then and Now' location featurettes and music score/soundtrack CDs)

- Call Me (1988)
- Deadly Strangers (1975)
- Double Negative (1980)
- Gemini Affair (1975)
- The Gift (2000), a US and UK release
- Halloweenville (2011), documentary film
- Heavenly Bodies (1984)
- Hot Target (1985)
- Lady Beware (1987)

- Save Me (1994)

- Simon & Simon (if there are HD masters and if all or most of the music tracks can be cleared (ie. no clearance issues), including the original two-part version of the Magnum, P.I. crossover with HD masters

TV films:

- The Force of Evil (1977), the cast including Lloyd Bridges, Pat Crowley and William Watson (also aired as an episode of the Quinn Martin TV series Tales of the Unexpected)

- the late-eighties remake of I Saw What You Did, and Trapped (both directed by Fred Walton)

I'd love a 4K upgrade of Forbidden Planet, and I would like to see a corrected version of the old Hobbit movie on Blu at least.

And since next year is the 50th anniversary of The Godfather Part 2, maybe FFC will change his mind about allowing the Saga to be released on Blu. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
