Visually Stunning Movies That Haven't Received Blu-Ray Treatment
Last month, we were treated to the double dose of Gladiator and Braveheart on blu-ray, both looking outstanding in high definition glory. While the story and acting are excellent in these film, a huge part of the enjoyment comes from the cinematography. These are the films that deserve the blu-ray treatment
While the medium is still fairly young, it is almost criminal that some visually stunning films are still only in SD such as: Dances with Wolves I would think this film would have been one of the first blu-rays releases. This movie is perhaps the most visually poetic film about the old west. Open plains, Native Americans, and a buffalo hunt would be a visual feast in blu-ray. Unfortunately, no release date or news. Instead, we get the stinkfest, The Postman. Saving Private Ryan This movie blew me away with its realistic visuals and sound. The best part for me was when they are waiting for the attack in the town, and you can hear the beast tanks grinding away and coming close. Such realism. Star Wars Yea, we know it is coming, and Lucas will milk us for more money. That's all that comes to mind at the moment. Can anyone give more examples? |

I can't be the only one that's surprised that more Spielberg films havn't been released. 3 years into the format and CEO's are wondering why Blu-rays don't have more market penetration? It's simply because there are not enough catalog titles yet.

M. Night Shyamalan's THE VILLAGE. I still think it's his best film. Of course, it'd look beautiful given the BD treatment.

Legends of the Fall would be a nice one to see in HD.

I'd really like to see Sam Mendes' collaborations with Conrad Hall: American Beauty and Road to Perdition. BTW, Dances with Wolves has been available to download in magnificent 720p on PSN for some time. What a tease! |

Re: Visually Stunning Movies That Haven't Received Blu-Ray Treatment
visually stunning? oh... I'd say 'Prospero's Books' which was shot in very early prototype HiDef cameras.

Regardless, it's a very visually arresting movie. I can't believe there isn't even a decent DVD edition of it available anywhere. |

I sure would love Sofia Coppola's movies on blu. Marie Antoinette would look fantastic.
