Anymore classics this year coming on bluray in UK? - Blu-ray Forum

Taat · 05-10-2010, 04:33 PM

Will there be anymore action or comedy classics coming to bluray near the end of this year in UK ? Does anyone know ?

BellesPrince · 05-10-2010, 05:28 PM

Depends what you mean by classics really.

National Lampoons Vacation and European Vacation are coming.

And if you extend it to musicals, there's Sound of Music.

And there are of course the rumours about Back to the Future, Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park.

Animation has Beauty and the Beast and Fantasia.

So yeah, there are quite a few classics coming to Blu Ray this year, and these are just the ones of the top of my head.

Like good comedy classics from the 80's and 90's like Happy Gilmore.

BellesPrince · 05-10-2010, 05:32 PM

Classics is a very subjective term.

Taat · 05-10-2010, 05:46 PM

Popular comedies of the 80's and 90's.

Well if you're thinking about film such as The Nutty Proffesor or Flubber, don't hold your hopes up too high. Although Mrs. Dountfire is out in the US on Blu-ray so naturally it is annoying that it isn't out here and I have no intention of importing.

Taat · 05-10-2010, 06:26 PM

I dont understand why Mrs Doubtfire or Happy Gilmore have not come out in UK.

No, I don't either and it's very frustrating because along with Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire easily my favourite Robin Williams film and I really want badly on BD.

"Hello me dears."

Also there is Patch Adams and Big Daddy they are in my opinion great comedies, sorry for going on.

No it's fine, but I think the main reason for these films not coming out on Blu-ray is because they're quite minor films and not really ones that audiences demand for in HD, which is a shame for the ones who do.

I can't wait until Mrs. Doubtfire comes to blu, it's one of my favourites. Home Alone 1 & 2 need a UK release too.

KingSimba · 05-10-2010, 08:09 PM

Another one here who wants Mrs. Doubtfire, Big Daddy and the Home Alone's on Blu-ray over here.

Big Daddy is listed on Play.com, whether that might mean something:
http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/1...y/Product.html

I contacted Fox a while back (see this thread), they replied and said their are currently no plans to release it, but to check again nearer christmas.

Big Daddy is Sony/Columbia, unfortunately i dont know of any email you can contact and ask them if theirs any release plans.

Also want Meet The Parents and Meet The Fockers, which should hopefully get released over here later this year or early next, as they're both available to pre-order in the US, and also a sequel is coming out in cinemas here in December.

Definitely agree on those three, especially Mrs Doubtfire as the US disc is locked. Home Alone 1 & 2 are both region free.

Taat · 05-10-2010, 08:59 PM

I will defo be ordering Big Daddy when it becomes available. Does anyone agree with me?

I do.

I started a thread about it a while back though, it seems the majority dont like it or have never seen it.
Only 1 person replied

Big Daddy received quite alot of bad reviews/ratings from critics, i never understood why though, its actually one of my fav. comedies.

I guess some just hate Sandler

Scouse_85 · 05-10-2010, 10:49 PM

Can't wait for the Back to the Future trilogy to come out on Blu-ray... A definite pre-order!

Guys, you can get Mrs. Doubtfire & Home Alone 1 & 2 from Germany.
I got them from Amazon.de. Home Alone 1 & 2 is a doublepack, with both discs packaged in the same case.

AFAIK, they're exactly the same as the US discs, only the languages are different and the covers are, naturally, in German.

Thanks for the offer, but I really despise imports as I like all my Blu-rays and DVDs to be from one country. It's also a bit of a fag too, having to wait around and all.

Nice for the thought though.
