I pose the question in this way to avoid the obvious films, musical programs, and television fare of distinction which are likely be released on the DVD format at some point in the near future. As I'm sure you're well aware, there was quite a lot of great fare that never even made it to laserdisc! For instance, here is a smattering of DVD's I would like to see:1) Mysterious Island (1929) sound/silent release of the Verne classic w/Lionel Barrymore.
2) Classic Saturday afternoon serials from Republic, Columbia, and Universal. Note: a good number of quality prints from Republic's vaults were issued, but far from all of them or even their best efforts; very little has ever been released from the other studios.
3) Harold Lloyd's classic silent comedies (all of them!)
4) All of the rockumentaries and filmed festival performances from the great bands of the 60's and 70's.
There are many more which come to mind, but I'm sure you have some of your own! Anyway, this should get you started.
