Some of the better known Woody Allen titles (especially Annie Hall).

Escape From New York for sure. I would like to see new Thomas Crown Affair and Ronin get the treatment, too.

I wouldn't want The Terminator as chances are, the DTS 5.1 audio mix will be from the new elements used for the Dolby 5.1 track.

Thought about this last night, Ronin! DTS on Ronin on the R2 Japan UE disc is fantastic!

Oh, and Fincher...regarding Showgirls... it in DTS is awesome! Have an R3 copy of it and it rocks!

I think Superbit editions of the Woody Allen films would be a great idea... all new HD transfers in 16x9... but instead of DTS/Dolby Digital 5.1, have PCM 2.0 mono since Woody Allen doesn't want anything but monaural sound for his films.

Also, it would be a good idea for Sony to do this in a huge Woody Allen box set with all of his United Artists, Columbia/Tri-Star, and Orion films all in Superbit form. For films like Allen's, they just need to have the great transfers, max out the bitrate, and have PCM mono.

That is a good idea since Allen doesn't do supplements anyway.

Marginal?

Most of the Bond movies aren't even in 5.1. That is enough of an improvement for me to upgrade. Besides the fact that the boxsets are selling for a premium on eBay right now.

None, since Superbit means no extras (unless it's a SB Deluxe) and an inflated price tag. I'd much rather they just release a lot of their catalog titles as normal SE's with improved transfers. But I'd bite if they re-released previously fullscreen-only and non-anamorphic titles as WS anamorphic Superbits, however.

Yeah, but for stuff like the Woody Allen films where there wouldn't be any extras anyway, a Superbit presentation would be ideal. Sure, it doesn't need to be a "Superbit," but if that's what they want to call it, fine by me.

Just tacking on that title means a $10 inflation in price, however. So I'd prefer if they just released the same DVD without the SB tag.
