I understand not every title is for everyone, but c'mon man, I know ALOT of people who are looking forward to High Fidelity! It's one of my favorite movies

Ghosts of the Abyss is Titanic 100th related.

I'd say Romy & Michelle means they're scraping the bottom of the barrel, still think that may be the worst movie I've ever seen in theatres.

Oh yeah, I missed Pete's Dragon too and it was just recently remastered for DVD (which I own). This is turning out to be a great year for BD.

Oh, right...
Still, more 3D catalog is more 3D!

Completely disagree -- it's a cult fave of mine and a lot of my friends.

[Bruce Morrison]

I'll definitely be getting The Color Of Money and Ed Wood, but I wish they would get around to releasing Tin Men already!

Disagreed. It's one of the few chick flicks that I would add to my collection.

In another thread you said you've "grown up" with Miley Cyrus, so when you saw this "R" rated film in theaters back in 1997 you were just a kid. You wouldn't understand.

I "grew up" with Kudrow and Sorvino and this movie is funny and touching. A "must buy" for me, and I can retire the old 4x3 letterbox DVD!

Treasure Planet and Tuscon Sun for me.

Disney Preps 30-Plus Movies for First-Time Blu-ray Release

This fall will see Adventures in Babysitting, Grosse Pointe Blank, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, The Rescuers, High Fidelity, Ed Wood, Judge Dredd, Ghost of the Abyss 3D, Lady and the Tramp 2: Scamp’s Adventure, Pocahontas, The Tigger Movie, The Aristocats and Pete’s Dragon.

Drokk yeah! Just in time for DREDD. I mean, yes Judge Dredd is one of the worst comic adaptions of all time, but wait... there is no but. Still want it though. For posterity.

Treasure Planet is a welcome surprise, the DVD does not upscale very well at all. I personally thought it was very cool. Now where is Atlantis: The Lost Empire?!

EDIT: Oh wait ATLANTIS IS RIGHT THERE! AWESOME.

Atlantis is coming, it was one of the 30 titles listed in a post in this thread, not sure how you missed it.

Pure soulless-marketing tie-in, but I still haven't rented it.

Hard to believe so many good titles....

[Monterey Jack]

Adventures In Babysitting?! Elisabeth Shue in her 80's prime in HD?!

[labrat1881]

Holy Cow!My brain is exploding from these announcements!Too many titles that I want..JUDGE DREDD,ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING, ROMY AND MICHELLE,PETE'S DRAGON,HIGH FIDELITY, DICK TRACY,SANTA CLAUSE TRILOGY,ED WOOD, ARACHNOPHOBIA!

[DLBeLL1984]

Bringing Down the House, Sister Act (double feature), Adventures in Babysitting, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion, Hocus Pocus, Sweet Home Alabama and Beaches!!!!

I can't wait!!! I wish they would have released the prequel to Romy and Michele though. Even though it wasn't as good as the first one, I enjoyed it. I doubt it would ever see its own BD release, or even a DVD release at that.

Cold Creek Manor might not have been that great of a movie, but if the price is right (or drops) I would be happy to pick it up.
