How longs a piece of string?. There are hundreds of films I would like to see given a proper release on DVD. But my top 10 would be:-

Up The Junction from 1967, happens to be my favourite film of all time, so this would be at the top of my list, with a commentary, trailer, intro music by the great Manfred Mann, then and now location filming documentary

others

The Edgar Wallace Film Mysteries Boxset
Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush - 1967
Pool of London - 1950
The World Ten Times Over - 1963
Goodbye Gemini - 1970
Sebastian - 1968
Strange Affair - 1968
Made - 1972
A Box set of of either Butchers/Danziger/other Anglo Amalagamated b-movies

'Far From the Madding Crowd'. You can get it as a box set but not stand alone!
.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!

Michael Winner's The Jokers and Hannibal Brooks

The tv series Confessions of Felix Krull made in 1982, featuring John Moulder Brown.

Any of the European childrens' tv series that were on in the 1970s/80s

Agree 100% Carmel!

Other Carol White fims that should get a legit DVD release are The Squeeze, The Fixer and I'll Never Forget What's'name- Oh and The Man Who Had Power Over Women.

Would be nice if they could include as an extra a biography of CW, Oh well maybe oneday !

The tv series Confessions of Felix Krull was released on DVD in Portugal in 2005, with original German audio but only Portuguese subtitles. Got a copy at the time, but cannot seem to find it offered for sale anymore, must be out of print.

People who keep films in the cave, at any levels, are not movie-lovers, that's for sure, even that one can suppose that there are also problems with copyright, family descendants, etc...question of cost-effectiveness mainly; too sad indeed....
