After the Wizard of Oz , Gone With The Wind and North by Northwest , what classic back catalogue titles are Warner Bros planning for a UK Blu Ray release date?

BTW are all the Warner Bros US older classic titles such as GWTW and Oz multi region?

Yes.

If only Walt Disney ( and all the other major studios ! ) would release region free versions of back catalogue titles it would make things much easier for all of us collectors!

I hope warner brothers would put out a nice restored Rebel Without a Cause

Doctor Zhivago is one of the next big ones.
due Fall next year.
also: "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"
and "The Maltese Falcon" apparently.

I'd be very excited about these, two of my all-time favourites. The DVDs upscale pretty nicely, but to see them in high-def and 24fps would be a real treat.

Warner has THE GREEN BERETS in January.

All very quiet isn't it from Warner? I think we can all think of 30+ films which we'd like.

Turner (who bought much some of MGM's back catalogue) spent a lot on new transfers and I can think of even more from that catalogue I'd like to see (Gone With The Wind/Wizard of Oz came from there).

Maybe the whole HDDVD vs Bluray slowed things down.

Sorry, slightly off-topic. Whilst I understand it being the most popular, I do find it rather strange that Mad Max 2 is available...whilst even the first is not.

That release list from Warner France had a few classics on there,(two Clint films that I'm dying for in HD), so hopefully these will translate to a UK release around the same time.
