What January 2009 BD titles are you planning on purchasing? I bought more than I planned in November and December so I'm really cutting back in January, plus there aren't that many titles that appeal to me.

Buy on release:
The Pink Panther (Original 1964 Peter Sellers release)

Buy at a later date:
The Last Emperor

Rental:
French Connection
Zodiac

-Apaloosa
-King Kong
-The Bourne Trilogy
-The Last Emperor
-Zodiac

I'm not sure about Righteous Kill... Maybe I'll rent it first.

(iirc The French Connection will be released on feb 24th...?)

I may bite on Pinocchio, but that's the only one scheduled for January I want right now. I'm hoping some more interesting stuff will still be announced.

I'm really waiting for Raging Bull in February and Walkabout in March. :)

January's a really bad month for Blu-ray. Just DOMINO and ANY GIVEN SUNDAY for me.

I may go for the French version of The Pink Panther due to the different color of the case. It's kind of.....different.

I'll be picking up Days of Thunder on 12/30 and watching it throughout January...does that count?

Get on Release:
Braveheart
Groundhog Day

Get on Later Date:
Babylon A.D.
The Rocker

Rental:
Dexter: The First Season
Superhero Movie
Swing Vote
Hulk Vs 2 pack

Appaloosa
RocknRolla
Serenity (technically a Dec release)
Bourne Trilogy (if I can find it for a decent price)

bourne, unfaithful and righteous kill

january is pretty weak.

1. Drumline ( I bet this is gonna look absolutely beautiful in High Def )
2. Max Payne

The only must have I'll be purchasing is Vicky Christina Barcelona.

Get on Release:
Braveheart
Groundhog Day


WHOA! Got a link on Braveheart? Thats a biggie for MANY. Sure I hope just missed that MAJOR news - instant purchase. =)


Jan looks slow. Nice time to recoup ($) I suppose...

King Kong
Bourne Trilogy

EDIT: Might add Zodiac DC as a blind buy. Been reading reviews, many of them give it friggin' 5 outta 5 stars, sounds great.

Cannot wait for the Australian release of Wall-E. It'll be the first BD title I get that i've never seen before, as I can't find a bad review on the movie & the clips i've seen have cracked me up. The quality reviews of the BD release have got me drooling.

January's a really bad month for Blu-ray.

Agreed, I don't really see any must buys for me. Feb & March look light as well.

King Kong is tempting, but I'm trying to avoid buying blu-rays is I already own the dvds.

Igor may be a rental for the kids.

Pinocchio includes a SD dvd as well. That's smart, as families would be interested in playing this in the car, portable dvd players, grandma's house, etc.

Saw V...among others.

That's right.

I'll be picking up Days of Thunder on 12/30 and watching it throughout January...does that count?

Absolutely NOT!

Mostly rents for me since a lot of those I've never seen and don't have the cash to blind buy right now.
Buying
Domino
The Bourne Trilogy(hoping for a good deal on this)

Renting
Bangkok Dangerous
Boondock Saints
The French Connection
Max Payne
King Kong (2005)

I may bite on Pinocchio, but that's the only one scheduled for January I want right now.

Pinocchio is actually scheduled for March 10, so if you can get that in January, could you pick me up a copy while you're at it? :)

I'll be buying:

Zodiac
Groundhog Day
Election (provided it's not screwed up)

Also, I may get the Bourne movies and King Kong at some point.

Jan 06:

Jan 13:
French Connection

Jan 20:
Domino
Election
Repo! The Genetic Opera

Jan 27:
RockNRolla
Zodiac: Director's Cut

Renting

I like your taste lol :p

Personally no buys for me unless there's a worthwhile deal on Bourne

Braveheart's coming to blu-ray? Must have missed that. I'll buy that one.

Kong:: will drop in price in a reasonable amount of time, I'll buy it then. I think that is the best looking HD movie....The kong vs. T-rex scene is stunningly 3d looking to me.

Bourne: got to have this, but will wait for a good deal or some sort of a coupon.

Zodiac... that is all

King Kong extended version.

Pre ordered RocknRolla from the WHV with the Christmas discount code.

Groundhog Day is a must one of the lists,hopefully the picture is not too soft as Jinkle all the ways,Home Alone.Babylon A.D.is exactly suck movie(I saw it from dvd zone3)but positive thinking about PQ and SQ.

Mostly rents for me since a lot of those I've never seen and don't have the cash to blind buy right now.

I've already got the Bourne films and Zodiac on HD DVD, so I don't think I'll double-dip anytime soon. Also, a lot of the titles people are mentioning aren't coming out in January, like Braveheart, Office Space, Taxi Driver, etc.

Braveheart's coming to blu-ray? Must have missed that. I'll buy that one.

Kong:: will drop in price in a reasonable amount of time, I'll buy it then. I think that is the best looking HD movie....The kong vs. T-rex scene is stunningly 3d looking to me.

Bourne: got to have this, but will wait for a good deal or some sort of a coupon.

The last emperor
Pineapple Express
Righteous Kill
Boondock Saints
Swing Vote
King Kong
Max Payne
Zodiac

Looking at Serenity and Boondock Saints. I might pick up the Bourne Trilogy if I can find them at a decent price.

January is a poor month for me for Blu-Ray. Not much I want. Only getting-

Groundhog Day
Bourne Collection

and if the rumours are true

Braveheart

Pre ordered Event Horizon from Amazon , $19.95 .

Burn After Reading (won't get a chance to pick it up 'til Jan)
King Kong
Zodiac
The Last Emperor
Caligula

T.B.

I thought Chronicles of Riddick was rumoured for Jan 09 release.

Oh well, patience is a virtual pain... or virtue...whatever... :p

i wonder when pulp fiction will get a US release on blu.

Maybe it will come when Inglourious Basterds is out. Hopefully Jackie Brown will be released as well.

For what it's worth, it will be released in the UK on February 2.

I have some unopened BDs so January will be catch-up month for me primarily for viewing those. I have King Kong on HD-DVD but I may triple up on this one as I have the SD DVD as well. Time will time but I'm really not planning to pick up many if any BDs at all.

I also have the Bourne films on HD DVD so another pass on that also.

Ark of Truth. There's nothing else for me that I would want to buy at this time. Where are my Star Trek films?

Last Emperor
Pink Panther
Pineapple Express

think those three will satisfy me for January. I got enough new titles for christmas that I'll be playing catch-up watching them all anyways. (Band of Brothers, Mad Men S:1, Godfather Trilogy, Chunking Express, Bottle Rocket, The Third Man, Man Who Fell To Earth, Reservoir Dogs)

Only thing that is jumping out at me so far as a must have is Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. I may finally get around to picking up Mirrormask and House of Fury since there aren't many other buys this month.

Out of curiosity, which Pink Panther, the Steve Martin one or the original Peter Sellers 1964 release?

1. Drumline ( I bet this is gonna look absolutely beautiful in High Def )...

I can't believe that Fox is releasing this semi-obscure film on BD. This will probably be THE best demo disc yet. The Georgia Dome scene has some of the most vivid colors and the lossless audio is going to be a slugfest that will shine and give any system a TRUE workout. Anyone who has any doubt just pick up the DVD for cheap and you will see that it will be worth Fox's over priced amount for the BD. This should be a MUST own for all HT/audio enthusiasts. I'm in (Drum)line for this one.

Do yourself a favor - buy, don't rent, Zodiac. It is that good.

King Kong. That was my first HD-DVD purchase of not so many HD-DVDs(came with the 360 player).

I may bite on Pinocchio, but that's the only one scheduled for January I want right now...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Pinocchio isn't due out til March 10th.

King Kong

Max Payne

Bourne

Braveheart

Unfaithful (great movie!)

Notebook

Serenity

Wheres this crazy Braveheart rumor coming from?
