quirkmanly · 03-14-2008, 10:38 AM

Oliver!

MOONPHASE · 03-14-2008, 10:42 AM

Nightmare Before Christmas, Swenney Todd, and Fantasia (more of an insturmental musical then a singing musical but I think it still counts).

Coltboy · 03-14-2008, 11:39 AM

Musicals suck!

More WAR MOVIES!

Blu Titan · 03-14-2008, 11:40 AM

I was sure that somebody was going to vote for the Kind and I

eChopper · 03-14-2008, 12:00 PM

MY FAIR LADY

and given its recent spectacular restoration , should look astonishing at 1080p

markjdye · 03-14-2008, 12:10 PM

West Side Story, An American In Paris, Brigadoon, Easter Parade, Flower Drum Song, Gigi, Hans Christian Andersen, High Society, Holiday Inn, White Christmas, In The Good Old Summertime, Jesus Christ Superstar, The King And I, Lil Abner, Meet Me In St. Louis, Moonwalker, The Music Man, My Fair Lady, Ocean's 11(the Original), Oklahoma, On The Town, Paint Your Wagon, Pal Joey, Phantom Of The Paradise, Robin And The Seven Hoods, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Singing In The Rain, Summer Stock, Yellow Submarine, Help!, A Hard Days Night, Yentyl, and all the other Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals.

hanser · 03-14-2008, 12:13 PM

West Side Story
My Fair Lady
Moulin Rouge (Luhrman)

TwisTz · 03-14-2008, 12:18 PM

Buffy - Once More With Feeling

I'd love to see it a remastered HD on Blu. Given that it was the only Buffy episode which was shot in OAR 16:9 and with a longer runtime of 51 minutes.

Jim L · 03-14-2008, 12:19 PM

I understand that it will take a while, because musicals are not "mainstream" popular anymore. When DVD got these, that's when we knew the format had arrived as a mass-market platform.

The Sound of Music
Victor/Victoria
Thoroughly Modern Millie
My Fair Lady
Wizard of Oz
Oklahoma
South Pacific
West Side Story
The Music Man

The studio distribution for these is:

Warner:5
Fox:3
Universal:1

Good list, especially Lil' Abner, Meet Me In St. Louis, The Music Man, and Flower Drum Song. Spectacular color films that ought to translate quite well to Blu.

They are finally releasing HIT THE DECK on SD next month. Don't know why that isn't on Blu. The huge "Satan Lies Awaiting" sequence looked remarkable on THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT, even when so much of that film was too grainy.

And I will definitely buy Victor/Victoria in Blu.

Rabidhunter · 03-14-2008, 12:53 PM

Newsies, that would be sweet. Once would be another awesome movie to have on Blu.

quirkmanly · 03-14-2008, 12:56 PM

Scrooge would be very nice too...

larryj763 · 03-14-2008, 01:08 PM

Well, the list here is impressive, especially well done to markjdye. I'd buy quite a number of those. I agree with any of the R&H stuff comments, My Fair Lady, etc., etc.

When it comes to "anything Disney", though, I think "Marry Poppins" deserves particular mention. This was one of the few films that Walt himself lavished attention on, more than any since the very early animated films, gave Julie Andrews her real break, and so on and so on. And as everyone knows, Disney does real justice to their films when transferring them.

I actually wrote to Disney and suggested this to Blu some time ago, and they responded that they would refer my suggestion to the proper sources (a stock answer I'm sure, but I bet they did it, too).

And for world class cheese: "Can't Stop the Music".

RUR · 03-14-2008, 01:16 PM

My personal select list:

Holiday Inn
Wizard of Oz
South Pacific
Carousel
State Fair
Show Boat

and, just because it's always a riot to see Clint Eastwood in a musical, Paint Your Wagon.

ay221 · 03-14-2008, 01:20 PM

I saw a clip for the moulin rouge blu-ray. Hopefully it comes out soon.

ccfixx · 03-14-2008, 01:39 PM

C'mon... no one here likes the "Rocky Horror Picture Show?" I'd also like to see "Hewig and the Angry Inch" on Blu-Ray.
