Thor, do you consider Jaws unneccessary even though the CD album (which would naturally be Disc Two on an expansion) was released eons ago and sounds nothing like it would if done today?
I would love to see "Police Academy" released as well along with the following:
Air Force One (Expanded) Tinker Bell scores (My daughter loves these movies and the McNeely scores are excellent) The Rescue (Broughton) Young Sherlock Holmes
and would also love The Postman by Newton-Howard (further proof that dreadful movies do sometimes have amazing scores)
The Postman is quite an excellent film. I knew back in 1997 that eventually I'd start seeing people re-evaluating the movie and realizing it's actually pretty good, and I've been seeing signs of that in recent years. I do hope the score is expanded at some point.
THE RIFLEMAN; Malcolm Arnold ost - ROOTS OF HEAVEN, INN OF THE SIXTH HAPPINESS, DAVID COPPERFIELD, THE KEY, etc.; Ron Goodwin - THOSE DARING YOUNG MEN IN THEIR JAUNTY JALOPIES (aka MONTE CARLO OR BUST), DECLINE AND FALL OF A BIRDWATCHER, ONE OF OUR DINOSAURS IS MISSING (and other Disney/Goodwin scores), etc.
I remembered more (all of course complete and remastered):
FILM: Rudy (Goldsmith) "Ubreakable" (J.N.H.) "Signs" (J.N.H.) "Mutiny On the Bounty" (1935 score) "Breakfast At Tiffany's" (Mancini) "Pyton Place" (Waxman) "Willow" (Horner) "The Big Blue" (Conti; I hope he recorded more than 64 minutes) "Small Soldiers" (Goldsmith) "To Sir, With Love" (Grainer; long overdue for a remastering. I hope there's more score not in the film) "Dark City" (Trevor Jones) "Perez Family" (Silvestri)
TV: "Columbo" (various composers) "Murder, She Wrote" (various composers; I hear "Matlock" has good scores, too) "FX: The Series" (Christopbe Beck, additional by other composers) "Due South" (Jay Semko, John McCarthy & Jack Lenz) (I haven't listed "Ducktales", since that's Disney and only Intrada can do it, and they recently said it's not in the works and they have a full plate) "My Life and Times" (Lee Holdridge, Alf Clausen, and one final episode of this short-lived series was scored by Don Davis)
A proper set of score from "Miami Vice" (not that mostly compliation of re-recordings released many years ago. Jan Hammer, Tim Truman, and John Petersen)

I too would like expanded versions of the STAR WARS PREQUELS. Why these haven't been upgraded/expanded (and remastered) by now is beyond me. There's definitely a market for it.
(And ATTACK OF THE CLONES could use a boost in volume too; that CD's level is so low, it's barely audible. I made a cassette tape of it years ago, and couldn't get a decent recording of it, even with the Record Levels all the way up.)
I think someone mentioned JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN; That would be another good one.

Its a fantastic score, but the film is truly dreadful.
I have the distinct pleasure of going to the Film's premiere, sitting in front of Costner and his family and laughing my ass off during the scene when the little boy (Costner's son) ran out into the road and held out the letter waiting for the "Postman" to ride back down the road and snatch the letter from the kid's hand. Pure MST3K moment!
(I was almost expecting a boot to the head after laughing that hard, but nothing happened)
All that's really in my 2013 Holy Grail list is a release of Chris Tilton's music from Fringe Season 5. No official word has been given to him yet. Makes me worry. Even when the show's over I'm still on pins and needles over some set of powers that be somewhere making the decision I want. This is too much!
Star Trek: The Animated Series (I know the chances are slim but I still have to hope) Star Trek: Insurrection - Jerry Goldsmith Star Trek Nemesis - Jerry Goldsmith Star Trek: Enterprise (especially Dennis McCarthy's "In a Mirror, Darkly" alternate theme) The Ten Commandments - Elmer Bernstein He Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983) - Shuki Levy & Haim Saban Silent Night, Deadly Night - Perry Botkin Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror - Eliso Mancuso 1980s Marvel Productions/Sunbow cartoons: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, The Incredible Hulk, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Defenders of the Earth, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons etc.
Labyrinth Excalibur Highlander The Never Ending Story The Haunting (a complete re-reconstruction/re-recording of the 1963 masterpiece, as evidently the tapes are missing or destroyed. Ouch - that hurts to think about :s)
The Harry Potter scores (Come on, Warner is still cashing the cow with the franchise and after the Wizard Collection, they need something else to keep cashing). Twister. The Perfect Storm (there's a huge amount of good music missing from the CD). Deep Impact (the original CD has a low mix, so it needs some re-mastering). Shore's King Kong (if Troy and Edge Of Darkness's rejected scores we're released, why not this one?).
