There are several on that list that I'm looking forward to...particularly "Master and Commander".

I'm somewhat surprised that "Last of The Mohicans" and/or "Moulin Rouge" aren't among the early Fox BD releases...both would be terrific in HD.

I've been selling my SD DVDs like crazy. I've probably gotten rid of 700 or so in that last couple of months. Mostly the only ones I have left are little indie ones of rare horror/sci fi films and some documentaries. There's still some comedies and higher profile ones left though so I guess this just confirms there's no point in holding onto them. Everything is coming eventually.

Terrific list from Fox. Several of those will help sell a lot of Blu-ray players.

Lots of other good stuff there. ID4, I Robot, The Fly, Butch Cassidy.

the DTS and dd5.1 tracks on the Predator DVD were very lame so audio wise im not expecting to be blown away.

Predator here also. I'll pass on Commando though. It's been a while but I remember not liking it at all. I'll never forget the explosion with the dummies in front of the building (he,heeeeeee).

Oh come on...lines like "Remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied" easily make up for a few exploding dummies in front of the barracks

Oh come on, how could you not like it when arnold was holding that guy over the edge of the cliff with just one arm, and he kept on slapping his arm and saying "Better tell me, this is my weak arm!!" Ahahahah, what a monster!

How about Ahnold crashing into phone pole at 60 MPH head on, and he leisurely gets out of the wrecked car.

Sulley, remember when I promised to kill you last??? I lied.

Please don't bother my friend, he's dead tired!

I liked the opening scene in Commando, it presents the kind of man that you are going to be dealing with through out the movie. In the opening scene he had just got done chopping down a Tree. Well rather then chopping the tree into smaller pieces to carry home in a truck or what not, he just picks up the whole damned tree and carries it home on his shoulder

he says it in commando.

He 1st says "You're a funny man, Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last"

Then

"Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? "

-Sully - Yeh thats right

"I Lied"

In the airplane: "Don't bother my friend... he is dead tired."

At the mall (security guard): "Suspect is 6'1", brown hair, brown eyes and is one gigantic mother f*****!"

I can't wait to see this movie in HD. Please Fox, do a nice new transfer of it.

He really is the master of cheesy oneliners. I dont expect this to look reference(It is a "B" movie), but I will still be buying it!

Hahaaha, ya thats great stuff. Not to mention the fact that this is the highest kill rate on any single man in one movie. He took on a whole private army for gods sake, thats some good stuff!!!

Regardless of what you think of Commando, this sequence of dialog ranks among the best in movie history.

Speaking of Predator, I can't wait to hear the chaingun sequence in DTS 1.5mb, and the full assault in Master audio once I can decode it.
