Top 10 Blu-rays For 2013 - Blu-ray Forum

WeeBey · 12-31-2012, 07:50 PM

What are the top 10 movies you hope to see on Blu-ray in 2013?

By tracking our most wanted movies, this may be an interesting way to track the progress of Blu-ray over the year. Something to come back to this time next year and see where we stand.

This was my list for 2012:

01. Vertigo (1958) / ALFRED HITCHCOCK
02. Singin’ in the Rain (1952) / STANLEY DONEN & GENE KELLY
03. Tokyo Story (1953) / YASUJIRO OZU
04. Lawrence of Arabia (1962) / DAVID LEAN
05. Bicycle Thieves (1948) / VITTORIO DE SICA
06. Rashomon (1950) / AKIRA KUROSAWA
07. Passion of Joan of Arc, The (1928) / CARL DREYER
08. Touch of Evil (1958) / ORSON WELLES
09. La Dolce vita (1960) / FEDERICO FELLINI
10. La Grande illusion (1939) / JEAN RENOIR

Honorable Mention: Unaltered Star Wars OT

I actually acquired a region-free Blu-ray payer this year so a lot of these movies were suddenly released for me even though they may have been out for a while.

Vertigo was released as part of the Masterpiece Collection on the October 30.

Singin' in the Rain was released on July 17.

Tokyo Story was released by BFI back in 2010.

Lawrence of Arabia was released November 13.

Bicycle Thieves was released by Arrow back in 2011.

Rashomon was released by Criterion on November 6.

The Passion of Joan of Arc was released by Eureka on November 26.

Touch of Evil was released by Eureka back in 2011.

La Grande Illusion was released on July 31.

Pretty decent, really. Only one carry-over (and, of course, Star Wars).

Anyways, on to 2013:

01. La Dolce vita (1960) / FEDERICO FELLINI
02. Spirited Away (2001) / HAYAO MIYAZAKI
03. Ordet (1955) / CARL DREYER
04. Talk To Her (2002) / PEDRO ALMODOVAR
05. L'Avventura (1960) / MICHELANGELO ANTONIONI
06. Before Sunset (2004) / RICHARD LINKLATER
07. Andrei Rublev (1966) / ANDREI TARKOVSKY
08. Punch-Drunk Love (2002) / PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON
09. Persona (1966) / INGMAR BERGMAN
10. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) / CRISTIAN MUNGIU

Honorable Mention: Unaltered Star Wars OT

I think I might go 10 for 10 this year. Maybe even Star Wars.

nichart · 12-31-2012, 08:09 PM

My top 10 for US release in 2013 in no particular order...

01. Slither
02. Howl's Moving Castle
03. Spirited Away
04. Bubba Ho-Tep
05. Team America: World Police
06. Mr. Holland's Opus
07. The Emperor's New Groove
08. Kung Pow! Enter the Fist
09. Willard
10. The Little Mermaid

Originally, Willow and Who Framed Roger Rabbit would have made this list, but since they already have a release date, I figured I'd leave them off.
