I guess I need to update this list since 3 of the 5 are available and/or have been announced, and of course the need to update this list since titles are FINALLY becoming available is always a good thing, lol!!
1. Split Image (1982)
2. The Split (1968)
3. Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977)
4. Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971)
5. Bear Island (1980)

10. The Passage (1979)
* Sleuth (1972)- currently OOP, not cool! Needs to be re-released.
** Laurel and Hardy's 1930s shorts and features. Currently the only features available are The Devil's Brother, Flying Deuces, and Babes in Toyland, I believe.-- The fact that these haven't been available btw, IS A CRIME!!!!
*** A couple of horror anthology TV series:
Monsters (season 1)
Freddy's Nightmares (season 1)
2009 overall has definitely impressed me, in terms of first time ever DVD releases. Some highlights:
Night of the Creeps, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, Telefon, Wise Blood, The Anderson Tapes, When Time Ran Out, the films in the lost 80s collection, to name a few.
Let's get some of these in 2010.
