After finding out that Moontrap is finally getting a Blu-ray/DVD release, I put my mind to thinking about what movies I am still hoping to see released on DVD or Blu-ray. What is on your list?
And here is my list, for US releases:
Radioactive Dreams
Godzilla 1985
Shaw Brothers Journey to the West Collection (Monkey Goes West, Princess Iron Fan, The Cave of the Silken Web, The Land of Many Perfumes)
The Ator Collection (Ator, The Blade Master, Iron Warrior, Quest for the Mighty Sword)
The Wild Beasts Will Get You!
The Killings at Outpost Zeta
Hands of Steel
American Cyborg
The Love War
Thunder of the Gigantic Serpent
Not of This World (1991)
The Kindred (1987)
Cast a Deadly Spell
Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?
R.O.T.O.R.
Bigfoot (1970)
The Uncanny
Robowar
Attack of the Beast Creatures
Kill Squad
The Wizard of Speed and Time - with all of Jittlov's shorts as bonus materials
Wizards of the Lost Kingdom / Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2
Project: Metalbeast
Robot Holocaust
Gorath
Demon Wind
Beastmaster 2
Knights (1993)
Devilfish
Roller Blade (1986)
I am adding more to this list as they come to mind.
CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING
I can think of a good number that are out-of-print and in need of rereleasing, but the number of actual unreleased titles is small now.
Godzilla 1985
An anamorphic widescreen release of Colossus: The Forbin Project
The Mind of Mr. Soames (not just a DVD-R release)
Original language Region 1 releases of Planeta Bur and Der schweigende Stern
Riders to the Stars
I've said it before and I'll say it here:
Bury Me An Angel from a master print with a 4k digital remaster. This has become a lost classic. People know the trailer better than the movie, which is a shame.
The Green Hornet TV Series
Blake's 7 TV Series
Ken Annakin's The Hellions: the first African western.

Come on, Sony! We have your material in our archives! Release it already!
The Bear (1988)
The Beast (1988)
Fearless Hyena (1979)
Robot Jox (1990)
Fist of the North Star (1986)
Blood In Blood Out: Bound By Honor (1993)
None of these classic B-movies have blu ray releases. A crime against humanity!
The Keep - huge favorite of mine. Not even available on DVD in the US.
Rawhead Rex - I've got a region 2 DVD but I don't think it's got a US release.
The Heroes of Telemark - I guess there's some awful DVD version available but this movie would really shine on Blu ray.

There was a DVD from Artisan, but the it's been long OOP. My wants:
Gimme an 'F' (1984) - underrated T&A Cheerleader/Summer Camp Comedy.

I was going to mention that as "desperately in need of a re-release." I thought there was a DVD release but it must have either been foreign or a bootleg. THE KEEP is available for streaming/download on Amazon (with a new soundtrack, apparently) or streaming on Netflix with the original soundtrack.
Now that I think of it, Ken Russell's THE DEVILS comes to mind as one I've been anxiously waiting for.
I made this list (http://366weirdmovies.com/wheres-the-weirdness-top-10-weird-movies-not-yet-available-on-dvd-in-the-us/) back in 2011, and only two of those titles have since been released to my knowledge.

I would say that any film with limited availability due to being out of print also counts. There are a few I can think of, such as the horrid monstrosity that is Candy.
lars von trier's"the kingdom",i'd love to have a decent copy of this show!
i have 2 sets,both foriegn,cut to shreds.
Wizard of Speed and Time
RavenHawk
Some of the movies listed above are available in Mill Creek sets. I also bought a few of them on DVD-R from various websites. But it would be nice to see them get a "real" release. I do have a legitimate copy of ROBOT JOX on DVD, though.

I have a DVD-R, which I believe was taken from the old VHS release. A better quality print would be really nice to have.
There's a couple of old tv movies I would mind having the DVD's for:
There's
Monster aired in 1999. The story is that a young man finds out his actor grandfather's monster movies were real and that every few years or so the monster starts a killing streak in order to escape the town. Now the grandfather's too old to continue and needs to pass the fight on to his grandson. A fun little sci-fi flick. (Sorry, Couldn't find any clips on youtube.
or
Model by Day A model turns into a superhero in order to fight crime after her friend is attacked. Stars future Bond Girl and X-man Famke Jassen. If you like cheesy super hero movies.
Model By Day Fox TV Movie Famke Jannsen, Shannon Tweed, Sean Young 1994 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfhIOkB3Ypw#)
Cherry Hill High
Vengeance Is Mine (1974)
Here's one I forgot:
Survive Style 5+ subtitled trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEH7nDkiPEk#)
NSFW (f-bomb)
