Given their track record with releasing classic films, I'm surprised Warners hasn't released The Thing From Another World on blu-ray.

C'mon, SCREAM FACTORY, 88 films, Severin, let's get crackin'. You've put out many other lesser films that didn't deserve to be released before the above.

We're pretty much set on Giallo films, there's now an excellent showing of them on Blu-ray.

We need more disaster / 70s B films. And we've got all those atomic attack films to go. Glad we're getting PANIC IN YEAR ZERO! ('62) soon on Blu. So many more!

That combined with the state of the catalog market probably makes those an unfortunately lost cause.

Surprised King Kong (1976) has not been released in the U.S.

My all-time favorite movie :


Never thought the Rams would come back to L.A. before the Blu Ray did.

Strange Days

A movie that is a staple on the premium cable networks

popegregFKAgoblin23

Great film and, as was pointed out to me in another thread, it's available on BD from Germany. It is not, however, region free.

Now that I have Xanadu and Strange Brew on BD, how about Pump Up The Volume?

SLC Punk, I was really hoping that a sequel coming out would get the first one on Blu, but even the sequel wasn't released on Blu

xfilekr

Wow- and here I thought I had it on blu- nope!

hanshotfirst1138

I have the German BD, so it has technically gotten a release somewhere.

Sidekicks as well.

Why So Blu?

I have the German BD. It's been out.

JimRochester

Any of these in my signature. In fact I don't think I've taken anything off my list in a year or two. These are not obscure movies, these were all mainstream films. Some were extended or SE of DVD releases but just got a barebones BR release. Although I realize a couple are in other regions or have seen a limited release, the market is not robust enough to limit titles to 3000 copies forever.

latweek

There are movies one would LIKE to see on Blu, like Idiocracy, or Six Degrees Of Separation.

And then there are movies that I'm SURPRISED haven't been released like the Cheech and Chong and the Pink Panther catalogs, which has been discussed to death. Those two right there would knock off a large part of my few and dwindling DVD inventory.

it honestly feels like somewhere in the last year, if it hasn't been released by now, momentum is shifting from physical releases, to holding off and waiting for some streaming only solution. Blah

Why So Blu?

I don't think imports count. They're right fucking there but if folks are too cheap to go region free then that's their problem.

I keep seeing Quest For Fire on lists. I've had the fucking thing for like 5 years already in BD.

AaronSch

Until I have all the domestic releases I want, I am not going to pay a fortune to purchae an Oppo region free player and expensive imports. It has nothing to do with being "cheap." It is simply "priorities." I also prefer to have the notes and print in english. I'll buy region-free titles to import but prefer domestic or Canadian releases. I just recently nabbed "Funny Games" because I got tired of waiting.

What frustrates me the most about the UHD format is that it ensures that the studios will continue to churn out the same damn discs all over again rather than digging into their catalog for some of these titles. There are hundreds of worthy titles that have yet to be released in high definition.
