The Jury Room

Anyone remember the good 'ole days, when we had lists as long as our arms of titles we wanted to see on DVD?

They're back! What do you want to see on Blu-Ray?

I'll start off small:

- Gladiator
- Braveheart
- Collateral
- Legend

and of course:
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA

by **Michael Stailey** » Thu May 07, 2009 10:28 am

The classic big pictures are ideally suited for BD, but will take time to arrive. I asked the VP of Sony Home Entertainment about LAWRENCE and he said "they are waiting for the right time." In other words, don't expect it any time soon.

Around the World in 80 Days
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Gone with the Wind
Wizard of Oz
Oklahoma
The King and I

by **cdouglas** » Thu May 07, 2009 11:41 am

Twin Peaks - The Complete Series. Please, please, please, please.

Also, the original three Indiana Jones films.

Lots and lots of Werner Herzog films (so far, I think we're limited to Rescue Dawn and Encounters at the End of the World)... Aguirre in particular would just be awesome in hi-def.

by **mkiker2089** » Thu May 07, 2009 12:13 pm

Clue - yes I know I may sound weird but to me it would be a good test of the format. No big explosions, no cg, no lightning fast action. Just a wonderful set, beautiful costumes and a great movie.

You mentioning Clue reminded me of another one... the original Sleuth! What a great film, but the DVD is currently out of print. A Blu-ray release would be awesome.

by **mavrach** » Thu May 07, 2009 6:37 pm

Still hoping for anything on regular DVD that's only available in fullscreen or non-animorphic. I figure at this point, the best chance to get these in animorphic is to wait for the Blu-Ray:

Raising Arizona
The Last Dragon
The Ref
Grosse Pointe Blank

Alien
Jaws
Bridge on the River Kwai

by **Jon Mercer** » Fri May 22, 2009 9:49 am

Megaforce

by **Dan Mancini** » Fri May 22, 2009 11:36 am

Mad Max
Escape from New York (and The Fog, too, while they're at it).
Seven Samurai (natch)

by **B5Erik** » Sun May 31, 2009 9:25 pm

Seven Samurai - because I want to see just how good this phenomenal movie can look.
Bridge on the River Kwai - 'nuff said
Warlock (1959) - It will probably never happen, but MAN I'd love to see it!
Open Range - Just a beautiful film to look at, and the story's damn good, too!
Jurassic Park - It's just a lot of fun, and it looks great.
The Shootist - A great movie that could look really good on blu.

That's just off the top of my head.

by **TemporalWisdom** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 12:12 am

The Star Wars OT. Not that I want Blu-Ray specifically, but it's a chance that Lucas will release it with Han shooting first. Please, movie gods.

by **John Miller** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 9:17 am

Jurassic Park would be really cool on blu-ray. I would definitely purchase that. I've been watching all the big movies of 2008 on blu-ray and can't believe the difference in quality. There were some really cool features on the valkyrie dvd, including this 40 minute documentary that was just as good as the movie itself. This is a video I found on youtube about working with Tom Cruise thats a clip from one of the special features. Its amazing how down to earth he seems for such a high profile actor.

by **chetlime** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 12:29 pm

I would LOVE to see the original "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3" on blu-ray. I have it on DVD and looked foward to seeing in on my nice new widescreen TV and was sadly dissappointed when I put it on and the movie was wrapped around a large black frame.inside the new TV screen. It was not anamorphic widescreen. For this reason I long for this to be released on blu-ray.
Also on my list are:
Cutthroat Island
Tombstone
The Posesidon Adventure

by **Future Man** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 2:40 am

Das Boot

by **mkiker2089** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 7:30 pm

Where's

Jurassic Park (any of them)
Scrooged
1941
Indiana Jones (first three, especially 1 and 3)

There are a lot of big name movies that should be on blu ray. Why are the studios dragging their feet? It can't survive without the software. Especially Jurassic Park as it's DVD is fair at best compared to later releases.

by **hoytereden** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:54 am

Any Hitchcock film.

by **Stubblecat** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 10:56 am

Call me geeky, but I would love to get me some remastered [b]Tron[b] on BD.

Rome is coming this November with both seasons in one nice looking package.

Oopps! Must have missed that.
But then I am a newbie at this thing called Blu Ray.

by **chetlime** » Thu Oct 01, 2009 10:47 am

My Most wanted list:

TOMBSTONE
THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974)
BOUND

I have all three on DVD, however, they are in the form of the dreaded horrible looking, NON-ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN.

ANY NEWS ON ANY OF THESE???

THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE (1974 version)

*There is a Blu Ray of BOUND, however only in Europe. I want this here in USA.

Lawrence Of Arabia. Seriously, when will this make it to Blu-ray?

by **Boba Fett** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 1:10 pm

Lawrence of Arabia will probably end up being the African Queen of Blu-Ray.

Considering amazon has The African Queen up for pre-order as both a DVD & a blu-ray, you are probably right.

by **Future Man** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 6:59 pm

Whew! Just when I thought Dan's Disney thread had killed off our Blu-ray board.

by **Steve T Power** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 5:05 am

I just caught some rumblings of Lawrence of Arabia on Blu-ray by June 2010, but we've all heard that before...

The wait continues.

It amazes me that a title that was teased before the format even launched (along with Finding Nemo) still hasn't materialized. When it does, it'd better be on par with the Blade Runner set.

Forget it Steve... it's Sony home video...

When you put your hand in a pile of goo that one minute before was you favourite pre 1980 motion picture, you'll know what to do!

by **Gabriel Girard** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 8:20 pm

Barry Lyndon or any other unreleased Kubrick
Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Waking Life
Citizen Kane
Dead Alive (Yeah right)
Network

Probably many others, it's addictive. And I'm only watching them on a PC screen, we have a pretty good sound system though...

by **hoytereden** » Sat Dec 19, 2009 10:45 am

A couple of George Stevens films-Shane and Giant and while we're at it, the two other James Dean films: Rebel Without a Cause and East of Eden.

by **Boba Fett** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 3:03 pm

I'm likely in the minority here, but I'd love to see "Equilibrium" on Blu-Ray
