I was thinking of may getting 3 titles...

1. Sound of Music Digibook

3. ???

Thanks,

I'd be happy to recommend some titles, but what kind of movies does she like?

Batman1980 · 12-01-2010, 01:36 AM

To go with Sound of Music, I say Charade(Criterion) and Wizard of Oz.

does she have any dvds that you could upgrade to blu? figure if she has the dvd, she must like it enough to buy/keep it.

DEVIL WEARS PRADA!!!!!! Top recommendation right there. Maybe 27 Dresses, Up, and maybe Wall-E????

The Bronx Bull · 12-01-2010, 02:37 AM

Easy... "It's a Wonderful Life." Not only does it come with both the B&W and color versions on the Blu-Ray, but everyone I know enjoys this movie, and it matches the Christmas time spirit.

South Pacific or Dr. Zhivago. Casablanca.

Doctor Zhivago...my grandmother thinks this is the best film ever made.

Marcus Wright · 12-01-2010, 03:47 AM

Everyone seems to give you their favorite movie as your ppotential choice but I will stop this and give you an objective assesment regardless of my tastes.

- UP (you should get her at least one animation, and while its far from my favorite one, this movie is very influential and emotional for adults while also being absolute referance PQ/AQ)

- Avatar (sheer beauty on blu ray)

One classic title is enough, so my advice get UP plus one more newer title (like Avatar) .

Honourable mention - Beauty and The Beast

Suntory_Times · 12-01-2010, 03:51 AM

I don't know here trastes, but I don't think anyone could dislike: Sound of Music, Julie and Julia and Up.

SteelPen · 12-01-2010, 04:32 AM

Thanks everyone for recommendations!

I'm leaning towards...
Sound of Music
Dr. Zhivago
??? (Can't make up my mind)

mrmassacre · 12-01-2010, 04:36 AM

The Expendables

, but seriously I would aim for something animated if she is into that, maybe a Disney Classic or something of the sort.

She would watch the Expendables, but I already have that! I was thinking Happy Feet!

Adam.C · 12-01-2010, 05:14 AM

The Human Centipede?
