Pre-1990 Films on BD: Help with Recommendations!

[Adrock]

Greetings Everyone,

I have been looking into expanding my catalog with more classic and older films, many that I had never even got on DVD, let alone BD. What are some of your recommendations that you love on BD? Be it a classic Van Damme movie, a horror, or classic comedy, etc.: What are some of your favorite pre-1990'ish films that are now on BD? Please share! Thanks!

Blade Runner
Wizard of Oz
North by Northwest
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
A Clockwork Orange
The Shining
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball

...I could go on forever...but these are all great blu's and should keep you busy for awhile.

No problem...I'm sure there is a bunch more that I have in my collection that I'm forgetting.

2001: A Space Odyssey... I'm kicking myself for almost forgetting that one.

I really hope Aliens come out in 2010. That will be amazing!

Ghostbusters is also great on Blu-ray...one of my favorite

Thanks for your feedback, Polanski. I am not really looking for any recommendations from a certain time period, obviously the time period I specified is a rather large window. I was just hoping to get some suggestions for what some other users favorites are, which many people provided. This gave me a great start on some films to look into, some of which are new to me, which is exactly what I was looking for, 'Old Gold' if you will If you have any that standout to you personally that haven't been mentioned, I would love to hear them. Cheers!

Excellent. Thanks for the recommendations! I'll have to look into those. Much appreciated.
