Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I have to wonder what the problem with American Pie is. Multiple SD releases, multiple sequels and spin offs, but no Blu release yet? It should be at the top of Universal's list!

Others I want:
Lethal Weapon 1-4 with director's cuts of the first 3
Judge Dredd
Lionheart
Deep Rising
Cobra
Glimmer Man (and all other Seagal films up to Exit Wounds)
Punisher EXTENDED CUT
Abyss
Star Wars 1-6
Indiana Jones
ANYTHING that was only released in a snapper case, matted or fullscreen transfer

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

In honor of D-Day I watched my SE of Tora Tora Tora. Even though it's primitive by today's standards, meaning they really had to blow shit up and actually had to have planes in the air, I am hoping this comes to Blu-ray soon.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

My most wanted on Blu are
Mallrats (with both cuts)
American Beauty
A Nightmare On Elm Street sequels
Fantastic Four (Extended cut)
Scarface
Citizen Kane
Evening With Kevin Smith series
After Dark Horrofest (All 3 sets)
Friday The 13th 4-X
Taxi Driver
RR Mexico Trilogy
Hammer Films
Universal Classic Monsters

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

My "dream" list:

1. Star Wars Trilogy --Okay, many of my favorite movies are already on Blu-ray or coming soon. This would be an instant buy.
2. Taxi Driver --All-time favorite here.
3. James Dean 3-pack: --Hope I'm not cheating here... but I really want East of Eden, Giant and Rebel Without a Cause
4. Criterion releases of the following: Solaris (1972), Stalker, Andrei Rublev
5. Barry Lyndon --Favorite Kubrick film
6. The Rocketeer --Childhood favorite, non-anamorphic DVD to Blu-ray would be a huge jump
7. City of God --Preferably a Criterion release
8. Back to the Future Trilogy --all-time favorite
9. Clay Pigeons & Swingers --want some early Vince Vaughn
10. Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet --guilty pleasure

So, as a change of pace I thought I'd clarify how good Blu-ray has been to my tastes. A lot of my all-time favorite movies have already been released:

Leon: The Professional
True Romance
Boogie Nights
Chungking Express
Bottle Rocket
Vivra sa vie
Memento
Pulp Fiction (Nordic Import)
There Will Be Blood
Casablanca
Children of Men
From Dusk Till Dawn (Canadian Import)
Magnolia
Unbreakable
Snatch

Wasn't this announced, then delayed, and now MIA?

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Yep. There was also a Canadian release that I had pre-ordered but it ended up getting cancelled indefinitely.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Any word, from anyone, on a US From Dusk til Dawn release?

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Star wars collection for me. I haven't bought any of the dvd's yet.. Was waiting on a complete box with all 6 movies and never got one. Hopefully they will do it with the blu.

Otherwise I will not be upgrading to blu for any of my dvd's.. unless its a hella good deal.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Definitely in for all the Star Wars films, as many versions as they can cram in there, I want them all.

But only slightly off the beaten path, I'd also love a release of the theatrical cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture without having to buy that whole boxset. What would really be great would be a three disc Bluray set with the theatrical, the Director's Cut with the FX done at hidef standards, then whatever kind of release they could do of the old "Special Longer Version" that was on VHS and LD.

Along the same lines, I'd love for Paramount to give Shatner the chance to redo the FX and recut The Final Frontier. There's an interesting kernel of a story hiding in there, along with several great character moments. This movie truly deserves the chance to improve its reputation.

And from my sig for those blocking sigs: Don Juan DeMarco, Mortal Kombat, Justice League S1 in widescreen, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker uncut and Mafia!

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

So I've been doing some exporing round about these interwebs looking for the theatrical cut of Star Trek the Motion Picture (like I was just mentioning above), and Amazon UK has this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-Pi...6831066&sr=1-4

Is this the theatrical cut and is it region free? I have a US PS3 if that matters.

thanks

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

The Universal and Hammer horror classics. The rest of the Bonds, dang it. Both wide and full screen versions of Lady and the Tramp. While on Disney, 101 Dalmatians, The Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, 20,000 leagues. Raiders and Star Wars.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I was just thinking that I'd really like to see Little Children come to BD.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Earnest goes to Camp.. I hope this one is soon!

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I would love to see 'Boyz 'N' Hood' get a Blu release - one of my all time faves that I really need to revisit since it's been a while since I last saw it.

I'm a little more "picky" now when it comes to get blu rays since my DVD collection got carried away so I'm really only looking to pick up titles that I want and not just because they are cheap so to speak.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I'll been waiting for the announce on blu-ray with:

Used Cars (w/ Kurt Russell) in 1980
Stir Crazy (w/ Richard Pryor & Gene Wilder) (1980 too) <--I love this movie :D

Macgruber?

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

You're in luck....it was already announced three days prior to your post....

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Which I now see, after I made the post. :clap:

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Watching Catch me If You Can on SD tonight and would love to see this on Blu

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I think we'll see that one before too long. Paramount has been good about releasing the Dreamworks Spielberg titles lately, with Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and War of the Worlds.

As for Universal, which distributes titles like Jaws, Jurassic Park, and E.T., that's been a different story. Wouldn't Jaws have been a perfect candidate this summer for a 35th anniversary release?

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I think Universal is still bitter over Blu-ray winning the format war. I'm still waiting on Out of Sight with hopefully the exact same transfer.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

one more add:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 with The Gruesome Edition!

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I watched Jaws the other night too and agree. As someone who was around that summer there really were people afraid to go in the water because of that movie.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Very surprised also that we did not see a 35th anniversary release of Jaws this year. The film's DVD releases came on its 25th and 30th anniversaries. A BD would have been nice.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Terry Gilliam's Tideland

I see that Pirates of Penzance (1983—Linda Ronstadt, Kevin Kline) is finally getting a DVD release on September 14. I would have liked to see it on Blu-ray Disc as well. But if it took this long to make it to DVD I guess it is much too obscure for BD.

Thought I was done with buying DVDs, save for TV sets. Guess not.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Just these please:

More Hitchcock: Vertigo, Rear Window and to Catch a Thief
Some Steve McQueen favorites: Great Escape, Papillon and The Thomas Crown Affair
My guilty pleasure: The Black Stallion (the islands scenes will look fantastic in HD)

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I'm hoping for Christoper Nolan's debut film Following at some point.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I watched Westworld for the first time on HD Net last night - looked good. I'd def pick it up if WB put out a BD.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

- The Crow
- Mallrats
- Eurotrip
- Empire Records
- From Dusk Till Dawn
- Thirst
- Towelhead
- Eight Crazy Nights

Team America

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Watched this just earlier tonight again (laughing as if it were the first time) and was thinking the same thing. That I want it on BD! Other films I'd like to see get a BD release:

"Death Becomes Her"
"The Devil's Backbone"
"About a Boy"
"Dirty Pretty Things"
"To Kill a Mockingbird"
"A Simple Plan"
"Heaven"
"The Last Picture Show"
"The Red Violin"
"Marie Antoinette"
"Bugsy"
"The World According to Garp"
"The Abyss"
"The Ice Storm"
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch"
"Cape Fear" ('91)
"Rob Roy"
"Places in the Heart"

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Team America and the Lemony Snicket movie were in an ad on Paramount's first titles on HD DVD and BD. So, they were apparently planned more than 4 years ago, yet still haven't been released.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

The Big Lebowski
-With all special features compiled from all releases, deleted scenes, commentary by the Dude and Donnie in character and a Retro documentary.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

:(

The Bird People in China is such a bizarre yet beautiful film. It's a real shame that this release got lost in the shuffle, because the visual imagery would've benefited greatly from the high-definition treatment -- especially considering the lackluster VHS-to-DVD treatment on ArtsMagic's 2004 presentation.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

Since many of my most wanted have been announced I'm updating my list. Many of these are titles that will be part of a two-fer at best but that's fine.

Bev Hills Cop - ready for a better version of this set
Big Red 1 - love war films and would be one of the few discs I already upgraded on DVD and would upgrade again to Blu
Bugsy - was disappointed in both the picture quality and film quality of the SE extended edition
Die Hard 4 (R) - argue all you want, I like the R rated version better and want it on Blu
Gettysburg - my old flipper got scratched and never replaced
Gross Point Blank - fun movie that is non-anamorhic right now
Honeymoon in Vegas - I get a kick out of the flying Elvis', would make a nice 2 pack with Family Man or Trapped in Paradise
Jurrasic Park - rumored but not announced
Memphis Belle - another great war movie that has never had a decent release
Midway - I love war movies
Pearl Harbor (R) - like this cut of the movie better
Planes Trains & Automobiles - one of my favorite comedies
Stripes - Bill Murray, priceless
Sleepless in Seattle - favorite Rom-com
TinCup - fun golf movie
Tora,Tora, Tora - need all my war movies on Blu
TrueLies - never delivered the 5 star edition they promised
US Marshalls - crappy first gen disc
While You Were Sleeping - really crappy first gen disc

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I know that the quality wouldn't improve much, but I'd love to see Batman The Animated Series and the Superman animated series on blu-ray. And throw Static Shock in there, too.

Re: Your Blu-ray wish list / "When will _______ be on Blu-ray?"
 

I just wish Universal would get off their ass and release all their titles they previously released on HD DVD:

Out of Sight
The Big Lebowski
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Lost in Translation

just to name a few.
