^ Warner's is finally releasing Hamlet next August [hoo-rah!!!!] Now bring on Grand Prix and Mutiny on the Bounty

It was supposed to be released 2 years ago (on both HD formats), but it was canceled. It is apparently coming next year, but I don't remember when or where I read that.

Edit: as Giles said.

did you happen to see the most recent South Park episode: 'Dances with Smurfs'

I read it over at ... ahem... blu-ray.com

really, you think?

sometimes one just want to see Lucas get hit in the head with a can of spam.

you're missing one 'mad' there sparky.

shit... don't tell me that. The Spain disc had embedded subtitles that marred the overall picture IMO.

Jean Renoir's 'The River'



please Criterion release this on blu!

David Lean's big four:

The Bridge On The River Kwai
Lawrence Of Arabia
Dr. Zhivago
Ryan's Daughter

I thought there were murmurings from Sony that 'Lawrence' would see a bluray release in 2010. I've yet to see it, but the transfer Warner's did from 65mm elements for 'Ryan's Daughter' have been noted to look stunning even on standard DVD, on bluray though - it'd look smashing!

Are you sure you don't mean the recent Family Guy episode "Brian's Got a Brand New Bag"? Where the store is selling all the DVDs for only $1, and the clerk wants to give Peter a free copy of "What Dreams May Come" with his purchase of "Road House", but Peter says he'll kill him if it even touches his copy of "Road House"? And then the "What Dreams May Come" DVD is put in the front window along with a bunch of other titles no one else wants (Enemy Mine, Harlem Nights, Deconstructing Harry, Mad Dog And Glory) and begins singing a song.....

Really? Those are Lean's Big Four? I've always considered Lean's big four to be Brief Encounter, Great Expectations, Bridge on the River Kwai, and Lawrence of Arabia.

Or he's simply waiting for there to me enough Blu-ray households to sell 5+ million copies of his big hits. At his level, it's more business... less worrying about the fans.

Maybe those are the big four that remain... as Brief Encounter (locked to Region B)and Great Expectations (region free) are out on Blu-ray in the UK.

Speaking strictly in terms of the quality of the films you may be right, but the thread does refer to "visually stunning" movies. I'd say that Zhivago and Daughter get the nod over Encounter and Expectations on that basis.

I can see that argument, but I'd say Brief Encounter and Great Expectations are every bit as visually stunning as Zhivago and Ryan's, just a different way.

Singin' in the Rain!

...and The Band Wagon!

The Cell
Chinatown
Pulp Fiction
Se7en
Wild at Heart

When is A.I. Artificial Intelligence going to be on Blu-Ray? People have mixed feelings about this movie, but I thought it was very visual. It was supposed to be released this year in Europe, but nothing ever happened with that.

No date for it yet, but I can guarantee that once it does come out, there will either be a bunch of people complaining about it looking too grainy (if they do the transfer correctly), or a large group of people complaining about not enough grain and too much applied DNR (if they do the transfer wrong)....

"A.I." is on my Top 20 list of films I can't wait to get on BD.

Not high on my list, but I would love to see Tom Tykwer's "Heaven" and Gillian Armstrong's "Charlotte Gray" on Blu someday. Both have beautiful cinematography.

yup... sorry, getting my animated shows all mixed up... going senior there.

let's hope AI gets the same 4K remastered work that 'Miniority Report' is getting done.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Lord of the Rings yet. (we know they're in the works)

Saving Ryan's Privates
