Well, I could go on for years about everything that deserves a release.....but I don't even have a blu ray player so that would kinda be pointless.

However, these are the releases that would persuade me to go hi-def:

SW OT restored of course.

Lawrence of Arabia on at least 2 Blu-Ray discs so that we may finally have a great home video release-the same goes for Bridge on the River Kwai, Dr. Zhivago, Ryan's Daughter.

Vertigo with original soundtrack from the 2nd dvd. and other Hitchcock.

The original THX.

The original 161 min cut of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and the rest of Leone's films in their original mono soundtrack! Plus a transfer of the new fully restored Duck You Sucker! that premiered at Cannes this year. Also a double Blu-ray of Once Upon a Time in America.

Mask of the Phantasm. (the old DVD leaves much to be desired.)

Citizen Kane.

Works from: Wilder, Kurosawa, Lang, Murnau, Truffaut, and the list goes on....

The classic film noirs-Out of The Past, Chinatown, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Ace in the Hole etc.

And the entire body of work of the master, Stanley Kubrick. Barry Lyndon is supposedly going through a full restoration for Blu right now.  Paths of Glory, The Killing, Spartacus, Lolita, Dr. Strangelove (in original multiple aspect ratios), and Killer's Kiss.

I would also re-buy the Blade Runner set on Blu.
