Pulp Fiction (and Jackie Brown) are actually coming out on BD on Oct. 4th.
Porgy and Bess
My Fair Lady
The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm. In Smikebox Cinerama
Camelot
Punch-Drunk Love. This would be stunning on BD.
There are a lot of films i would love to watch on blu-ray. Some of them: Murnau’s Faust, Vertigo, Rear Window, Giulietta Degli Spiriti, Accatone, Teorema, Sayat Nova, Zerkalo, Kumonosu jô, Kakushi-toride no san-akunin, Lawrence of Arabia
Too many to list.
I’ll second PDL out of the mentions so far. I would die for that on BD.
Now Teorema? I saw that recently, didn’t care much for the film but I will vouch that the current DVD is one heck of a “bad transfer”

Yeah, they’d be quality additions, too.
Though, I’m sure Paramount’s got a tight grip on CHINATOWN.
@Axelumog: the bfi dvd is ok. And else i can’t do nothing about the fact you didn’t care for this film, but it’s surely important to watch a film in the best conditions as possible.

Woody Allen’s older films would be really nice – especially Manhattan, that’d be beautiful.
Other than that, I’d echo some of the same ones mentioned – Punch-Drunk Love, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, a few of my favorite Bergman flicks, etc.
The Three Colors Trilogy is available for preorder on Amazon!!!
