Agree with you about L.A Confidential. I'd also like to see Miami Vice, Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2 and Magnolia.

Both Kill Bills. I'd like to have all singing, all dancing versions of Goodfellas and Beetlejuice since the current dvds are pretty shoddy.

I know they have been released four times but I would love to see a proper Alien style dvd edition for the Terminator films. The eztras have all felt a bit press kitty to me.

I know Chinatown was released last year but it has to be one of the worst special editions in recent years. Poor artwork and extras to cap off one of the great films of all time, i was hoping for a genius 3 disc tin with a sleek stylish cover more similar to the original edition

Is there another Raw Deal i don't know about,because surely no company in their right mind would waste time producing special features for this turgid '80's Arnie shite.
Hercules In New York Special Edition?

Judge dredd is crying out for a special edition directors cut.So much footage was cut from that movie(Dredd fighting the clones at the end was completely removed from the climax,the whole film had been building up to it!)

That's shoddy?

Oh ok sorry didn't know about that version. I'm just angry that I have the flipdisk version

. A Goodfellas steelbook would be nice though.

Another vote for GPB, as well as proper DVDs for There Will Be Blood, City Of God, Army of Darkness (I might be mistaken here, any links to a more recent special edition would be much appreciated), Raising Arizona, and Anchorman.

Hopefully with the remake (

) on the horizon The Taking of Pelham 123 will get some special edition treatment.

Excalibur for sure.With the exception of a rather good commentary by Boorman,the R1 version is as truly dire visually and sound-wise as the utterly shit R2...

The Prestige.Something akin to the Memento SE would be awesome...

Agree with Chris 66's choice of Stalingrad earlier.There is a German R2 SE but as expected,all the extras are in...yep,you guessed it,German...

I'd also like to see something similar to the French Deluxe Edition of Quest For Fire...

They're remaking 123?Didn't know anything about it!Just had a look on IMDB and Tony Scott is directing and Denzel is starring!All of a sudden my dismay has lifted a little.
Then again,there's a Freddie Mercury tribute act that looks like John Travolta co-starring...

Despite Anchor Bay's love of reissuing The Evil Dead over & over & over again, I don't think you're gonna get a better version of Army of Darkness than the current 2 disc SE

& as for Anchorman, no proper specs have been revealed yet, but:

Hopefully Pixar can get their act together regarding future releases like WALL-E,Cars and Ratatouille were shite compared to the Monsters Inc,Finding Nemo and Toy Story DVD's.
