I'm referring strictly to titles that have been confirmed. Of those, which are you most looking forward to next year? WB has, of course, Citizen Kane on the way, but also Lolita and Barry Lyndon. We can also look forward to classics like The Birds, Taxi Driver, Chinatown and The Conversation. I'm not averse to a few guilty pleasures, which is where God Told Me To, Q: The Winged Serpent, The Exterminator, The Intruder, and Battle Beyond the Stars come in. There are also several Criterions on tap, all of which will hopefully receive a 2011 release, though a couple may be 2012 offerings: Blow Up, Red River, The Sweet Smell of Success, Kiss Me Deadly and The Killing. I would be surprised if Criterion doesn't do a double-bill with the latter and Killer's Kiss, the MGM disc of which is now OOP. I'm not wild about Something Wild, but it's coming from Criterion too. I'm assuming we'll be getting some more Chaplin in HD next year as well. So, what, other than the Star Wars Trilogy (yawn!) are your most anticipated titles for 2011?

I haven't really been following release dates, but I'd say my most anticipated is Sante Sangre.

Besides that Army of Shadows.

I'm sure most posts will be about Disney titles, Tarantino films and whatever big blockbusters are coming out next year.

I heard O Brother, Where Art Thou? might see a BD release next year which would be spectacular. And let's not forget the possibility of Lawrence of Arabia.

NoirFan

Again, I'm talking about confirmed titles. You can post your wishlist here.

doctorthodt

A number of titles in your op aren't anywhere near confirmed for 2011. Confirmed means officially announced by the studio - until that happens, nothing is "confirmed" as we have seen all too many times before.

islandclaws

I'm excited for much of what's in the OP but, as another pointed out, since most of the 2011 slate hasn't been "officially" announced, most of what I'd post would be hopeful speculation.

Deftones

The only one that's been announced that i'm excited about is The Incredibles.

NoirFan

Fine. How about more than likely, as in titles that have been rumored, confirmed in newsletters, or announced as having a probable 2011 release date.

BuckNaked2k

Most anticipated:
Citizen Kane
Lawrence of Arabia

Least anticipated schlock:
effed-up OOT Star Wars with those dumb prequel movies included
Anything having to do with Avatar

TNAJason

Star Wars Saga
The Incredibles
The Cable Guy

So far nothing announced or even anticipated for 2011 trips my trigger. There were at least a few speculated for 2010 that never made it (Jurassic Park) that I'd love to see. Based on today's post in DigitalBits, the studios are starting to be more willing to dig into the catalog titles for 2011 so that should be good news for many

I was not aware these are forthcoming, but I'm always up for some Antonioni, Hawks, and Hunsecker action. I will definitely be anticipating those titles, particularly since they were issued on DVDs that are -- in one way or another -- disappointing. I hope for stellar A/V quality for each of them.

This is another title with an underwhelming DVD version. I would love to see it released alongside 'The Big Knife.' I'm also looking forward to 'Something Wild,' and all the Kubrick titles, particularly those that I have in particularly sub-par versions: I still own the original WB Kubrick DVD box set (that I think ended up being free from Reel.com; I've replaced all the other titles in that set with the previously released BDs.)

Blow Up isn't coming to BD afaik...Criterion hinted at Blow Out, the 1981 De Palma film.

Giles

Lawrence of Arabia
Mary Poppins
Ben Hur
Finding Nemo
Barry Lyndon
Rashomon
Star Wars Saga

NoirFan

Right, I guess all of the Blow Up talk in the Criterion thread confused me.

With regard to Blow Up, the R1 disc has a decent transfer (but incorrect AR), commentary and isolated score track, so it's a pretty solid release, though it is a snapper.

musick

wOw ... I didn't even realize Something Wild was coming from Criterion
had to go back and find this post
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-talk/57...criterion.html

very excited for that if it happens, as well as The Killing with or without Killer's Kiss

also Lolita and Barry Lyndon

catalog as we all know has been too slow to roll out
still waiting on: Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Big Lebowski, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Mulholland Drive, Elephant Man, Irreversible, A.I., Glengary Glen Ross, The Dead Zone, The Game, Rear Window, Vertigo

Moonstone

Probably the Star Wars Saga, but I would much rather just get the original movies and the extras on their own.

Ahab

Citizen Kane
Vertigo
Barry Lyndon
Taxi Driver
Chinatown

Mr. Cinema

The Game
The Birds
Taxi Driver
Star Wars

Is Chinatown confirmed?

Giles

I'm also hoping Paramount can get it's act together and release 'My Fair Lady'

Brian Shannon

I'll decide when I see it on a shelf for sale

Mike86

Nice, would really like to get O Brother, Where Art Thou? on Blu! Never had it on DVD but I'll take as much Coen Bros. as I can get. I'm also excited to get Taxi Driver and its probably just wishful thinking but it would be nice to get more Bond out. Also more Hitchcock is welcome if The Birds and Vertigo are slate I'll definitely pick them up along with the Kubrick titles Barry Lyndon and Lolita.

Giles

Warners - please, please release

- Grand Prix
- Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)

riotinmyskull
