Anything!

Agree with Chris above, I want Paramount to release more then one movie per month...

King Kong (1976)

Ghost

Some how I don't see that looking to good in HD lol. That movie is just old and I would be SHOCKED!!! if it looked any better than what is shown on tv or dvd if it's out on dvd.

It's out on HD DVD in Europe from Studio Canal. The notion that a film from 1976 can't look any better than DVD strikes me as a little bizarre. I'm guessing you haven't seen the HD DVDs of Casablanca and The Adventures of Robin Hood?

....or The Thing (1982).

Event Horizon

Event Horizon


Oooh...I forgot that one! Good movie!

The Warriors would be cool if it's the original version and not that horrid "remaster" that came out last year.

Event Horizon and Godfather trilogy are about all I can think of for BR/HD DVD.

Wouldn't mind the first and last Indiana Jones movies either.

Chinatown
Days of Heaven
John Grisham's The Rainmaker
The Talented Mr. Ripley
The Core
Lara Croft Tomb Raider in The Cradle of Life
North Dallas Forty
Heaven Can Wait
Tucker: The Man and His Dream
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek II:The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek IV:The Voyage Home

Its a real shame this is not out yet:(

I hear rumors that Paramount may be going HD DVD exclusive toward the end of the year. Then again, that's a long way off! In the meantime I'm looking forward to a sneak preview of an interesting movie called '300' tonight. I hear it's boss!

Holy Thread Bump, Batman.


:)

You would think there is a thread out there with "Grease" in the title!!

umm. no one likes gladiator??

1. Forest Gump
2. Brave Heart


:D:D

Then prepare to be shocked- KK'76 looks amazing. One of my favorite releases on either format.

My current Paramount wish-list would be
1) Grease
2) Tucker: The Man And His Dream
3) Days Of Heaven
4) Raiders Of The Lost Ark
5) Titanic

Gimme Braveheart, Titanic, and Gladiator and I will be more than happy for '08.

good list! Days of heavenb is one of the most gorgeous films ever shot and would look amazing.

I'd add Vanilla Sky.

:)

It's true that Paramount/Dreamworks has 100s of exceptional UNRELEASED catalog titles but discussion threads like these become meaningless when they haven't made any ground breaking title announcements since Transformers. Dreamworks is about to part ways with Paramount and I hope that they remain HD DVD exclusive and do not defect.

The Naked Gun films
The Indiana Jones Trilogy
Star Trek Films
Braveheart
Airplane
Saving Private Ryan
Forrest Gump
The Truman Show

What I would most like to buy personally would be:
Godfather trilogy
Indiana Jones movies
some of the Star Trek movies
Jack Ryan movies
Braveheart
Tommy Boy
Saving Private Ryan
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Team America: World Police
Napoleon Dynamite (co-produced with Fox, so maybe not possible)

They have a huge catalog of hits, start putting them all out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Paramount_Pictures_films

Days of Thunder and Braveheart off the top of my head....

After seeing Apple announce HD Movie rentals today... which feature Star Trek feature films....I have to say...."Come on Paramount---Bring on Star Trek on HD DVD!"

:)

[I love Season One on HD and would love to add some of the films.]

FRIDAY THE 13th!!! parts 1-7

alot of what has been mentioned

also..
Enemy at the Gates so I won't be tempted by the import

To name a few, and some already mentioned:
Braveheart
Days of Thunder
Godfather Trilogy
Indiana Jones (collection)
Double Jeopardy
The General's Daughter
The Firm
The Score (I really liked this movie)
Deep Impact

gladiator in addition to many already mentioned. can't believe nobody's mentioned that one.

Haven't a couple of forums already dropped heavy hints that some of these are coming q1/q2?

Got to have some science fiction flicks.

The Core
Event Horizon

I would also like them to just open the vault. Heck they could open up the vault and release all they possibly can now and if hd dvd goes belly up in the next few years they can release them on the other format. They would be losing nothing.

I think that hd dvd should get the remaining companies to lock in for a few years and we could have a dual format world. I like it.

Team America!

All the above movies would be great from Paramount. Universal has a bunch of titles that they could release to make this arms race really interesting. Instead we get 'Mobsters' from Universal and nada from Paramount.

I guess they really don't care all that much about HD-DVD.

Mobsters! Come on Universal, you could do so much better! Throw me a bone.

good list! Days of heavenb is one of the most gorgeous films ever shot and would look amazing.

I'd add Vanilla Sky.

:)

Days of Heaven would certainly be amazing, but keep in mind that Criterion just made a new HD transfer, but is still only releasing on SD. I'd love to see Criterion's version in HD!

Haven't a couple of forums already dropped heavy hints that some of these are coming q1/q2?

I hope it's true !! Nothing really caught my eye on Q1 HD DVD releases. :(

Like your list. Bring on The Hunt for Red October along with other Tom Clancy titles. When do the pre-orders start?!:)

Titanic
Gladiator
Bravehart

private parts

Team America!

F*** YEAH!!!

A few less obvious choices of mine I see on the IMDB Paramount Home Video Dist. List are...

The Saint
The 10 Commandments
Funny Face

Jack Ryan movies


That one is out in a month's time here in Australia - works out to less than USD $9 per disc RRP too :-)


My top 25, in order of preference:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Saving Private Ryan
Godfather Trilogy
Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones - Last Crusade
Indiana Jones - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (May 22) (this will kill Blu-ray :-)
Rat Race
Road Trip
Eurotrip
Event Horizon
Zoolander
The Naked Gun
The Naked Gun 2 1/2
The Naked Gun 3 1/3
The War of the Worlds (1953)
Crocodile Dundee
Grease
Days of Thunder
The Firm
Catch 22 (1970)
Forrest Gump
Eddie Murphy: Raw

The Untouchables

Hmmm. I've already got that blu-ray.

I'll vote for LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR

There are 100s of excellent titles on Paramount/Dreamworks library but none of it coming to HDM.

I'm still waiting for the rescheduled release of Saturday Night Fever.

Star Trek 2:The Wrath of Khan,Star Trek:First Contact, and of course, Cloverfield:).

there is already an hd dvd on The Untouchables. i love this great movie.

gladiator in addition to many already mentioned. can't believe nobody's mentioned that one.

I thought THIS thread was a paramount list NOT dreamworks? :)

Gladiator is Dreamworks no?

There are 100s of excellent titles on Paramount/Dreamworks library but none of it coming to HDM.

Funny part is that walking through walmart.. I saw Dreamworks animation reissued out

Prince of Egypt
Road to El Dorado
Joseph: King of Dreams
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron
Chicken run
Wallace and Gromit
Flushed Away

on DVD once again.

Just realised that Spielberg will be able to block the releases of these because he was the director:

Saving Private Ryan
Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones - Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones - Last Crusade
Indiana Jones - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (May 22)

So I guess that leave just 20 on my list... any word whether Spielberg is likely to allow the release of those 5 though? Did he have control over the release of Close Encounters on Blu-ray?



My top 25, in order of preference:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Danger!...Diabolik.

There is no harm in compiling our want list. Considering the track record of Paramount do you think they care about our requests ?

There are 100s of excellent titles on Paramount/Dreamworks library but none of it coming to HDM.

There is too much truth in that. I have absolutely no idea how some of these studios decide which movies to release to HDM... Monkeys throwing darts might be able to make a better selection.

Cloverfield!

There Will Be Blood 2-disc with TrueHD.

if a proper restoration were done would be awesome!!

They probably don't want to shoot their wad too soon. They probably have a ten year plan.

They probably don't want to shoot their wad too soon. They probably have a ten year plan.

this may be true, but in this day and age of the format war, they need to revise that plan and move up some of they're big guns, or there won't be a format to have a 10-year plan for.

Cloverfield!


YES ! PLEASE ! :D

Everybody is going to buy the first 3 - especially since they are twindiscs.

Such non globalization thinking (from a USA is the only place....), remember....

Fox has the rights in the good ole USA.

Dreamworks has the rights everywhere else ;)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162222/companycredits

in the end though.. The same approach I take with fox I take with these titles.

I'll believe it when I SEE IT.
