September 2008-Biggest Blu Month Ever!

[NMErickson]

With the newly announced Blow and Daredevil a few days ago, September is looking more and more like the be-all month for Blu-Ray releases.

Must owns already for me, Transformers (9/2), Blow (9/16), Godfather Trilogy (9/23), Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Iron Man, Daredevil & Knocked Up (9/30), are joined by other possibles Kill Bill 1&2, Sixth Sense, Outbreak, 40-Year Old Virgin, and finally the rumored 1408, and Speed Racer, but Beetlejuice was pushed back

Sidenote: I hate the word "pwns" but used it as an option in the poll to poke a little fun at it.

Hahaha.Its not as important or amazing as the others obviously. But it's a Marvel flick that I found entertaining. Better than alot of other Marvel stinkers for sure. The Daredevil release does not bring the overall September credibility down though

BTW: Nice list of movies you want to see Blu, I love every one of them except 2, I especially liked your nod to NBK: DC and American Beauty

[Drexyl666]

i'll be getting 38 of the confirmed september list at the bare minimum.......gonna be broke as hell.

[Grimshaw23]

I think November is a better month overall. I mean comon, that's the month of the Dark Knight, Kung Fu Panda, Incredible hulk, Matrix Trilogy, Wall-E, and possibly Hancock, The Happening, The strangers, and Wanted. I know some of those are unconfimed but to me, they are practically going to be in November. Though, September is a great month as well.

If this is not the biggest, and one of the most important months for Blu Ray releases, I dont know what is. My wallet is going to be crying.

To see some more rumored titles (and confirmed), check out this list at releaselists.com:

What else am I missing? Surely theres a few more blockbusters that we'll soon see in September.....

I agree. Don't know how HDDVD will live after September.

November FTW

Wall E-Madagascar
Kung Fu Panda-Shrek the Third
The Dark Knight-Iron Man
Matrix-Kill Bill
Matrix Reloaded-Kill Bill 2
Matrix Revolutions-The Mist
Incredible Hulk-Transformers
Bad Boys-Sex and the City
Band of Brothers-Godfather Trilogy
Stardust-Forgetting Sarah Marshall
X Files-Beetlejuice
X Files 2-Sixth Sense

[tru_to_blu]

Maybe for now but there will be lots of better months in the future.

[Beast]

It's not a big month for me. I agree with others that November looks like the winner.

I'll probably only get...

Transformers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Daredevil.

Passing on Beetlejuice because it's a pitiful barebones release.

[owa]

I think July is going to be the biggest for me. Aug. and Sep. look pretty good too though.

[sockmodel7]

September by a wide margin:

Godfather
Kill Bill
L.A. Confidential
Outbreak
Cool Hand Luke
Omen, The
1408
Madagascar
Rudy
Blow
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Knocked Up
40 Year Old Virgin
Sixth Sense
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Transformers

Unless November has some massive announcements, September wins in a landslide.

[Barbie-Shrimp]

I just browsed through, and (although there are lots of good movies coming out) there are only 4 that I would call 'must-owns'.
Kill Bill
Beetlejuice
The Omen
& Blow

[Rantlers]

From the Speed Racer Announcement:

Earlier this year, Warner indicated that they would release The Matrix films on Blu-ray to coincide with the release of 'Speed Racer' as they are all Wachowski brothers films. Warner yet to make that announcement, but hopefully we will hear something very soon.

Doesn't this leave the possibility open that The Matrix could see a September release?

As for me:
Kill Bill
Kill Bill 2
Rudy
Eraser
Under Siege 2
Transformers
Knocked Up
40 Year Old Virgin
Forgetting Sarah Marshall

[sockmodel7]

The Godfather is a given, but everyone should do themselves a favor and read up a bit on L.A. Confidential. Truly amazing film that would have won best picture any other year if it weren't going up against Titanic.

[owa]

I think the below is how July, August and September will go for me. Some of the movies I'm not sure about so the list could change slightly.

Already have the ones in bold.

July
Batman Begins
The Ruins
Sleepwalking
Batman: The Movie
Gangs of New York

[davcole]

September is very good for catalog releases! Ones that catch my eye are:

GODFATHER
ERASER
RUDY
UNDER SIEGE 2
OUTBREAK

[Eternalnow]

The whole Fall - Winter release schedule is so jam packed with must have titles I am going to be very broke!

[fatediesel]

I'm curious if Warner might opt to release The Matrix on a different date than Speed Racer after Speed Racer flopped.

[kpkelley]

I'll be picking up around 15 give or take any Warner titles that don't have hd audio.

I already have Night Watch and Day Watch, but I would have picked up those as well.

[sockmodel7]

All I know is I'm glad I just started my job at Best Buy for the discount and have $170 in gift cards saved up to cut back on expenses.
