I love my Blu Ray player but I'm an impatient man and there are certain titles that I'm really keen on getting. I know I'll have to wait a few years but maybe I'll find a like minded soul with deep pockets and a film studies background who shares my views.

I'm sure everyone else has a list as well (preferably that doesn't contain the obvious stuff like Lord of the Rings or the comic book movies or yes even Porky's)...I'll leave off Universal stuff for now knowing that they support HD-DVD (I'm not gonna say anything bad about the HD-DVD people...they're just frugal).

This is a list of movies from companies that are currently in the Blu Ray camp (non-internment)...

Here's My Top 5:

Days of Heaven
The Killer/Hard Boiled
Straw Dogs
Four Flies on Grey Velvet (at least put this out on DVD!)
Stranger Then Paradise

Sound of Music

Sound of Music


YES!!!!

Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Crow (supposedly coming this year)
ALIEN, Midnight Cowboy, Moulin Rouge, Titanic

"BOND, James Bond"

Lawrence of Arabia

Lawrence of Arabia

British Beatle mania (sorry!)

"I know what you did last summer" Flame me if you like but it was the first DVD I bought (3 months before the player!) and I really enjoyed it and it's looks pretty good (and I'm not talking about Hewitt and Wilson). The fireworks shot near the start is one of the most lifelike things I've seen on DVD

ALIENS (since I own ALIEN on DTHEATER)... :)

Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Crow (supposedly coming this year)
ALIEN, Midnight Cowboy, Moulin Rouge, Titanic

This guy pretty much has my tastes, Oh can I say LOTR!!!! Just wishful thinking I know :rolleyes:

Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Crow (supposedly coming this year)
ALIEN, Midnight Cowboy, Moulin Rouge, Titanic

Dracula also has a release date in the U.K...much like The Crow.

yEp. End of february for The Crow and October for Dracula according to Play. I got really excited at first thinking Dracula was coming out on Jauary 10th but then I realized it's the way the english flip the day and month compared to us. I saw 10/1/07 and didn't realize until later that it was october!

:eek:

I love old WWII movies like The Great Escape, Bridge On The River Kwai, Where Eagles Dare, Battle Of Britain, The Eagle Has Landed, etc. and would lobe to see them come out on Blu-ray. Also, the James Bond movies.

ALIENS (since I own ALIEN on DTHEATER)... :)

They seriously need to re-master Aliens, though, because the SE DVD from a couple of years ago is not of great quality.

Snatch
Zoolander
Fight Club
Top Gun

Lawrence of ArabiaIt's scheduled. If it's not released in 2007 I'd be suprised.

My picks:;

All the Warner titles released on HD-DVD so far w/PCM or some other lossless audio track (yeah, right:().

Amadeus or Saving Private Ryan with a PCM soundtrack should be amazing.

Looking forward to some Fincher in Panic Room & Fight Club!

Batman
Star Wars Episode 3
The Matrix

I'm afraid Aliens is never going to look great because of the defective Kodak film stock it was shot with...it is a pity!

Amadeus or Saving Private Ryan with a PCM soundtrack should be amazing.

SPR is a must have title. In the war vein, any format must have these films in its catalog to be considered a serious medium:

Apocalypse Now
Das Boot
Braveheart
Bridge on the River Kwai
Glory
Great Escape
The Longest Day
Napoleon
Paths of Glory
Patton
Sergeant York
Stalag 17
Star Wars Ep. 5 - The Empire Strikes Back (yes, this is a war film!)

Platoon may be coming soon? Any news? Spartacus is already here.

I'd rather have a grainy imperfect ALINES the way it looked than some filtered and DNR'd to death version personally.

I'd rather have a grainy imperfect ALIENS the way it looked than some filtered and DNR'd to death version personally.

LOA :cool:

I can live with the excessive graininess, but I always thought the sound was quite sub-par; *that's* what needs to be remastered.

Lord of the Rings......FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE LORD OF THE RINGS!!!!!!!

Actually Hard Boiled is very likely to make some sort of appearance on BD. Midway had a survey on their website asking about whether or not PS3 owners would pay an extra couple of bucks for a collector's version of the game Stranglehold that would include Hard Boiled on BD

Kill Bill 1/2
Men in Black 1/2
Pulp Fiction
Open Range
Resident Evil
O' Brother were art though
Master and Commander
I Robot
The Big Lebowski
Almost Famous
Gladiator
The Last of the Mohicans
Daredevel directors cut
Hunted
LOTR...ALL
Matrix...all
True Romance
King Arthur
The Shawshank Redemption
Dark City

just to name a few.

All Pixar movies
Star Wars sextuplet
Matrix trilogy
Lord of the Rings trilogy

Kill Bill 1/2

...
just to name a few.

I'm real suprised Kill Bill isn't out already. One of the first Blu-ray demos I saw in a Sony store used a scene from Kill Bill in the example clip comparing blu-ray with a standard dvd.

Sound of Music


YES!!!!

This made me laugh out loud, I too love this movie (as does the wife), I am mid 30's, and I regularly force my children (3 and 5) to watch it(at least the intro).

Anyway, hell yes, please bring it to BD!!

I'd have to say:

Gladiator (not sure if it'll hit BR though? Distributed by Universal?)
The Professional (Please! Easily one of my favorite movies)
The Salton Sea (Another of my favorites -- DVD transfer looked very good, IIRC)

If I got those three sometime soon (hell, if they just confirmed they were doing them, even), I'd be very happy.

Concerts.. All of em!

I love the movies but I love Concerts just as much.

I just bought a 50" Pioneer Plasma coming from a 34" Sony XBR960. The Pioneer is much better for the size of course but concerts looked much better on the Sony which are usually very grainy.

I will probably pick up a BR player next month but I wonder if ever many of the Concerts I have on DVD will be available on BR Disc or heck even HD.
I know threre are a couple out there but wonder when more will be available.

Future Concert releases gets me more excited than just about any movie out there..

Rick

All Pixar movies
Star Wars sextuplet
Matrix trilogy
Lord of the Rings trilogy

That's pretty much how I feel.

I've been pretty happy so far. Especially now with The Descent and Pearl Harbor. I'd like to see Armageddon, Matrix, and Gladiator though.

On the Westerns theme: Siverado, The Quick and the Dead.

spiderman 1-3
lord of the ring 1-3
matrix 1-3
finding nemo
titanic (for my gf)
cast away
rush hour 2
indiana jones (all)
gladiator
true lies
donkey kong

Oh, wait, wrong thread.
Oops I thought this was the Blu-ray pr0n thread.
My bad.

Is there any info on a Gladiator release on either format? This is one movie id love to see on one of the HD formats..

You're a good parent Jiffylush; Keep up the good work!

Days of Heaven
The Killer/Hard Boiled
Straw Dogs
Four Flies on Grey Velvet (at least put this out on DVD!)
Stranger Then Paradise

Interesting. It doesn't seem that many of those titles would benefit too much from the HD treatment. I hated Straw Dogs. But I LOVE Stranger Than Paradise (I love most of Jim Jarmusch's work).

Gladiator (not sure if it'll hit BR though? Distributed by Universal?)


I know it's a Sony and CIC title in some areas.

Lemony Snickett! plus all of the above...

Amadeus

Any HITCHCOCK movie (preferably the one's with Jimmy Stewart);
The Sound of Music (want so bad I can feel it! :));
Dexter (both seasons, best HD TV show on the tube right now);
Any KUBRICK movie not yet released in high-def (Lolita, Barry Lyndon, Paths of Glory, etc.);
The Sopranos (the last two seasons make me want to see the show's glory years in high-def);
The Batman movies (1989-1996)
Susperia/Inferno/Mother of Tears (Argento's 'Mothers' Trilogy in high-def = bliss).

All Pixar movies
Star Wars sextuplet
Matrix trilogy
Lord of the Rings trilogy

This guy shares my sentiments, exactly.

They release everything listed there, and my Blu-Ray collection is complete.

This thread seems to have jumped about a year and a half overnight.. :)

I'd be very happy with Last of the Mohicans, Dances with Wolves, and Heat...
