Petition of the Week idea - Blu-ray Forum

mjarina · 05-25-2016, 09:48 PM

Ive been following Blu-Ray.com since its inception and don't post on here often. If I do, it's usually just to ask a question about a blu-ray I'm interested in. There are many threads concerning movies that we all want but convincing studios to release them is an uphill battle. The most frustrating part about being a movie lover is some of my favorite films are only available on DVD and VHS. I jump for joy every now and then when sometimes a studio does it right for a change. Most of my faith is now in independent labels like Shout Factory and Arrow who are releasing blu-rays I never thought would see the like of day. So I've been kicking around an idea that us Blu-Ray.com peeps can do something about it.

Petition of the week will be an on-going thread with email links included to bug the shit out of studios holding our favorite films hostage. Every week a new film or films will be selected to flood someone's inbox with. This can also include Director's Cuts, extended, or unrated versions of films that may already be available in theatrical blu-ray. I'm not sure if this is plausible, but wanted to throw this out there and see what everyone thinks. If there's enough support, I would like to dedicate some spare time to see if we can finally get the movies we've been begging for. Off the top of my head, here's a few examples I'm interested in myself.

All Godzilla movies still on DVD

Honestly, I just copied most of the DVD's I still own and hope to see on Blu-Ray.
I left out a bunch like Don't Torture a Duckling and many other Giallo's because I'm not sure to harass. The studios have many more titles we can add to the list and bug them all at once for a week.

What does everyone think?
