I probably won't buy any of the single layer mpeg-2 releases. What I'm really waiting for is:

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Band of Brothers
The Pixar movies
Pulp Fiction
Batman Begins
Spiderman 1&2
Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind
The Matrix

Hopefully they will all be on 50gig dual-layer discs with Mpeg-4 compression.

- The Spider-man movies
- The X-men movies
- LOTR trilogy
- Matrix trilogy
- Men in Black
- Pirates of the Caribbean 2
- Re-encoded, cleaned up version of The Fifth Element
- King Kong (I'll buy it on either format, whichever looks better)
- Munich (one of my all time favorites)
- Kingdom of Heaven (can't wait for this one)

I know King Kong's slated for HD-DVD, but I own an Xbox 360, and more than likely I'm gonna end up buying the HD-DVD add-on for it. I'm also looking forward to the PS3 at launch.

EDIT: I'm also hoping that all of the above will be encoded in either AVC or VC-1, whichever produces better results. Not to mention lossless audio.

Good times ahead!

I certainly hope that Lions Gate would get their act together as well.

I just saw Crank in the theatres a few days ago, and I must say that it would make for a FANTASTIC HD presentation. The film's picture was nearly flawless, with not a speck of grain to be found. Stylized direction, lots of color, and fast moving scenes would definitely make this fine demo material if encoded and transferred properly.

Being a Lions Gate film, I'd imagine it's only coming out on Blu-ray.

Here's hoping that they would go with VC-1/AVC for this one...

I haven't checked the list of movies of other people have given on this thread. But among the thousands of movies that I look forward to seeing on BD, two of them has to be Pleasantville and Down With Love.

Leftfield, I know. But great moviemaking and pure eye-candy to boot!

What movies are you waiting for on Blu-Ray?.
#1 No movies in particular, but for starters better caretaking, better masters, better encoding (VC-1) and preferably BD-50 (to the insiders, please note i'm not a candidate for double dipping any more :p ).

#2 pricetag under $299 for a premium player

By then hopefully #1 will be sorted out.

I wouldn't buy but a dozen or so titles over several years and assuming Fox stayed blu-ray-only i'd pickup POTA original and maybe EP4-6 (might even just netflix those).

Yep. I'd double-BD-dip for the theatrical and EE versions. But it should have the best possible video and lossless audio at original sampling rate (not 16-bit).

I can just imagine it now - tissues at end of FOTR, tissues at Gollum-Smeagol in TT, and a whole damn box for ROTK. :D :D :D

09-13-06, 12:16 PM
In addition to movies, I'm looking forward to TV series released in HD. In Norway, Smallville, for example, is shown in 4:3 stereo only. I've downloaded a few episodes to get it in 16:9, but the quality just didn't hold up. So I've only seen the first season, holding out for it in HD on Blu-ray. The same goes for quite a few other shows, too. (Mostly Sci-Fi :))

I would be willing to think about TV shows also. Galactica would be one.

4) Lord of the Rings (?)
5) Star Wars!

Lord of the Rings Trilogy (I think we'll see it next year sometime, I just hope the HD-DVD won't force these releases to be solely theatrical versions or split onto 2 Bd-25s like Alexander. Unlike the red side, Blu-Ray can handle the entire extended cuts WITH pcm AND the theatrical presentations via seamless branching, so let's please make use of this)
Grindhouse (Weinstein...we all know you're coming to the dark side, and how about some seamless branching to include those extended cuts?)
Kill Bill (The Whole Bloody Affair maybe?)
Magnolia
Boogie Nights
Star Wars Saga
Three Kings
The Darjeeling Limited (fingers crossed now that Fox is back)
Saving Private Ryan
Minority Report (I only have a fullscreen version, so the double-dip is a must)
Alien Quadrilogy
3:10 To Yuma
John Rambo (have you seen that trailer? lol)

Wow Bob... did we see the same movie yesterday? I am a huge Beatles fan but I thought "Across the Universe" was God awful... it just didn't work. It felt like the director, Julie Tamor tried to cram so many songs in the film that, for me anyway, almost every time you heard a music cue, the film came to a crashing halt. It was excruciating in its lack of energy and a very pale imitation of Milos Forman's exceptional adaptation of "Hair." It was also a rather sophmoric view of the 1960's. The screenplay was filled with so many laughable stereotypes and under-developed characters that I left the theater shaking my head. I would rather hop on a plane and see The Beatle's "Love" in Las Vegas again ...at least the original artists can be heard. This one is a rental if you are drinking something caffeinated!

Plus, let's get some Criterion loving in this HD world

I feel ya on LOTR but we all know they're going to force a double dip on this.
Theatrical first. Too much money to be made for them not to.

I just hope the Lord of the Rings movies don't end up split up on two discs. I did the math, and Return of the King can definatelly fit onto one BD-50 with TrueHD, 3 dolby tracks, and PiP, so I hope they go that route.

Jaws because it is my favorite movie of all time and the Hulk because he is my favorite comic book character.

I've searched all over, but haven't heard any updates on

Lawrence of Arabia
Band of Brothers

probably the 2 I'm most looking forward to
I'd also like to see Criterion join the game, as mentioned ...but I don't see myself doubling up my Fellini anytime soon....

Any word if Rambo 3 will ever see the light of day again...you know...the one where he aids the Taliban freedom fighters in rescuing Afghanistan from those commie Soviets? great stuff! ;)

"Across the Universe"!

I saw the movie yesterday ... amazing, extraordinary!

The graphics, the choreography ... and of course the music! This is one movie I would play over and over!

+1 for Across the Universe.

Have to watch it again at home.

But only because the people to my right and behind me thought the movie was a singalong and it was a strange feeling, liking the songs, yet having these obviously much older people actually having a good time and singing the words to the songs I am already very familiar with.

Now if it was kids, you sort of get it, kids will be kids, but people in their 50s seems to genuinely enjoy this one and it's not normal to have people in their 50s sing in the theatres.

Btw, I'm shocked that Long and Winding Road was not part of this sappy movie.

How big do you think blu-ray discs are? :p


I think that they are at least large enough to carry a whole season of a TV show in 480P. They should handle many series as well.
