Most desired movies on Blu (almost) - Blu-ray Forum

Elandyll · 09-29-2009, 10:57 PM

By this I mean I am excluding the "usual suspects" from the poll.

No Star Wars I - VI, no Alien Quadrilogy, no Jurassic Park trilogy, Back to the Future, Indy I-III, Nemo, Lion King, Jaws, The Incredibles or LOTR EE.

No, here we have the "other" movies, the ones that would (should) be great in HD but are not that often requested (well, at least doesn't seem to me)

The Abyss
Apocalypse Now
Titanic
Minority Report
Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Pulp Fiction
Hercules
Tarzan
Aladdin
The Rescuers
Tron
The Black Hole
The Longest Day

Apoc Now with Schindlers List a close second

skatalite · 09-29-2009, 11:17 PM

"Harold and Maude" for me.

garlad · 09-29-2009, 11:18 PM

Titanic!!

Mahatma · 09-29-2009, 11:19 PM

Don't understand the excact rules you laid down here,but would these constitute?

Ed wood. If they get the transfer right,it could be an epic B&W movie

The Game. Another movie which I am eagerly anticipating from a PQ POV and-ofcourse-it's a great movie.

Paths of glory.Wonder how this looks in HD.Think it would look great being one of Kubricks masterpieces.

Collateral.Come to think of the list I'm making,this really is about PQ.Remember watching this in the theater,and is estetically very pleasing to the eye-something I can't say the DVD does it justice.

Grand canyon.To round it off

PS:Have 'Pulp fiction' (released in my country) and it is very nicely done transfer.You are in for a treat

PPS:The poll didn't show up when I clicked on link,so blame that for my misunderstanding,but still stand by my choices

I want The Count Of Monte Cristo and The Breakfast Club.

thegodfather1129 · 09-29-2009, 11:22 PM

Sapphire Editions of both Saving Private Ryan and Apocalypse Now

Futureboy · 09-29-2009, 11:22 PM

Personally, I'd like to see a remastered and glorious 7.1 sound version of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!!!

Iron-Blu-123 · 09-29-2009, 11:25 PM

Saving Private Ryan

Russell_L · 09-29-2009, 11:32 PM

I voted for 'Titanic', not only because I like the film, but it would look and sound incredible on Blu (if done right by Paramount, of course) and it would serve to advance the format in the eyes of the general public.

Agree with the 'looks'.Think it would look fantastic if they did it right! No matter what views on the movie-quality itself,this film shines estetically

Chrysagon · 09-29-2009, 11:45 PM

Apocalypse Now has been on the top of my list.

Also:
Tron
Excaliber
Big Country
Tombstone
Conan The Barbarian

And of course, my avatar -- War Lord

lobo81865 · 09-29-2009, 11:50 PM

Other: Last of the Mohicans.

Ditto to "Count of Monte Cristo." Love that movie.

kurtis21 · 09-29-2009, 11:56 PM

I would love to see Jurrasic Park on Blu. This movie has always had a special part of my heart. I read the book as a kid and when it came out I was there on opening night. I remember feeling that it was magical and couldn't believe how real it all looked  I bet it would sound awesome on Blu-Ray!

xradman · 09-29-2009, 11:57 PM

The Longest Day is already out on Blu.

persuazion · 09-29-2009, 11:57 PM

I voted other for Scarface...

dtaylor · 09-30-2009, 12:00 AM

All the Star Wars would be nice.

F-Man · 09-30-2009, 12:00 AM

Other: Night of the Living Dead.

Although these days I'd prefer Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis. C'mon Sony...
