The Official BD Wishlist and "When or will this movie come out on BD? Thread - Page 82

The village is out in the UK

Tess is released on BD in France. Transfer is based on the 4K restauration of 2012.

The Hudsucker Proxy

Equilibrium was re-released 10/23/12 on a double feature disc @2.35:1 (OAR 2.39:1?) as opposed to the original BD enhanced for HDTV. I would expect with two movies on one 25GB disc video quality suffers.

20th Century FOX and Home Theater Forum have partnered to give the public the opportunity to vote on bringing classics to Bly Ray...

How about:

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959) with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee!

The existing DVD is letterboxed within the 4x3 area. I'd love to see a remaster that I don't have to zoom to watch properly.

The Package (Gene Hackman, Tommy Lee Jones)

Due out soonish via Warner Archive, I believe.

Deep Star Six

Are they ever going to release more 80s and 90s movies? They released some to start and then a bunch and then trickled a couple more out but now it just seems to be all current releases or pre-80s titles.

80s:
They don't even have many of John Hughes out yet, what happened to Some Kind of Wonderful, Weird Science, Pretty in Pink?
The Right Stuff? [EDIT: coming out late this year]
No Way Out (heck this one doesn't even a proper DVD release)?
The Bounty?
Crocodile Dundee?
The Blob?
Desperately Seeking Susan?
Witness?
Innerspace?
LadyHawke?
Lucas?
Splash?
An Officer And A Gentleman [EDIT: coming out in May]
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The Sure Thing?
Mischief?
Blown Away?
Valley Girl?
Can't Buy Me Love?

(I think a few may be avail on obscure Region B release, but that is pretty bizarre considering that these were American movies, why does the US tend to get most titles, even our own, last?)

90s:
Brokedown Palace?
Kundun? (there was a European release but it was horror story, the single worst DNR to wax job ever done to any blu-ray! Anyway I guess we know we will never get this one thanks to a certain company bowing down before a certain nation.)
Beyond Rangoon?
etc.

And why is Veronica Mars still not out on blu-ray? All seasons were produced in hi-def.
Same for early seasons of 24.

Roger Rabbit's coming out on Blu sometime in March.

I've read The Blob will be coming some time next year from Twilight Time as one of their "limited to 3000 copies" editions.

Ladyhawke is available now as an import from Hong Kong. I have it, it's well worth the trouble to find from the Asian outlets.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Super Mario Bros

Cannonball Run II
Gumball Rally
Smokey and the Bandit 2
Smokey and the Bandit 3
Hooper

Been waiting for this one myself. I did some searching the other day and stumbled across this interview with W.D. Richter about the Special Edition DVD.

Good read.

Thanks, yeah sounds like TT has The Blob for 2014 (speaking of TT I never even knew they existed until a couple weeks ago- some titles there that I bet many didn't even know had been released). I guess I'll give a look at an Asian important for Ladyhawke. In both cases gonna be pricey. Still seems bizarre that US movies tend to be released sometimes years later in the US than elsewhere.

could someone help me with this movie.

i am trying to find the name of it. but i forgot it.

i i remembered i watched it in the cinema an animation movie somewhere in early 2000. about a little boy and a big robot. i thought the time was around 1950s , 1960s.

i just wonder if that movie was already released on bluray.

but hard to check if i cant find the title. i dont think it was released by disney. but not sure. but the animation was top notch and story was great too.

thanks in advance

The Iron Giant?

-Bill

Now that the Eagles farewell tour is out, I'm still waiting for Streets of Fire.

ah yes the iron giant. thank you!

oh wow it was directed by brad bird. didnt knew that.

no bluray release yet. bah

Amazon UK has cover art up for a multi-region edition with "sign up to be notified". No price or date.

-Bill

Lifeforce is coming out in April

It's been pushed back to June.

Babylon 5 TV series

No dates, but Digital Bits has reports of some titles said to be in process: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/032013_1130

These are all high priority for me. Sorceror was pan&scan on DVD. Here's hoping Friedkin is taking his meds (or not, if that's the problem).

-Bill

I would like these to be release soon as well.

For the love of God, when will Warners release Local Hero? And if they don't, I hope Criterion will step up to the plate. I've got the old DVD and man, is the picture awful.

Song of the South

I was at a comic book convention a few weeks ago and a guy was selling bootleg DVDs of that one.

My wishlist...

Buckaroo Banzai
Until the End of the World
Prince of Darkness
The Serpent and the Rainbow

I'm sure there's more.

Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight
Tales from the Crypt: Bordell of Blood

Seriously wtf aren't these movies out yet? Demon Knight at the very least, I don't know anyone who's seen it and not liked it. These have been broadcast on the HD movies, so HD masters do exist, Universal could easily release a double feature.

Updating my ongoing wish list, since a few films have actually popped up on BD in the past few months (and a couple more are due in the next few):

The Stepford Wives (both versions)
The Black Hole (1979)
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)
Death Wish (1974)
True Lies (1994)
The Time Machine (1960)
Zardoz (1974)
Giant (1956)
Bugsy (1991)
Touch of Evil (1958)
Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)
King Kong (1976)
The King of Comedy (1983)

3000 Miles To Graceland
Streets Of Fire
Before Sunrise
Before Sunset
