What are some of your favorite independent and/or low publicity films that you would like to see on Blu-ray?

Some of mine:
Sunshine (already is on Blu-ray)
Donnie Darko
Boondock Saints
History of Violence

edit:
---Does anyone know if Anamorph or Pathology were any good?

i saw Pathology on DVD ... it was an average movie (6/10)

SS316SRV · 08-22-2008, 07:29 PM

Evil Dead
Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead
Carnival of Souls
Suture (got to mention it twice today)
Empire Strikes Back (semi-independent because Lucas made the movie with his money but already had a distribution lined up, samething with Sunshine)
Halloween
Blood Simple
The BMW internet films with Clive Owen

there is one more that I cannot remember the name of. It is black and white and is a mockumentary about heroin addicts. The addicts end up convincing the director to use, he gets hooked and stays with the addicts.

Every Lionsgate movie is considered independent.

I forgot that the early Star Wars movies and Evil Dead were independent.

Depends on your definition of "Independent".

Oh.. well... the thread was asking for movies you'd like to see out on BD so ummm... carry on. And you mean Evil Dead II.

Yes Evil Dead II I have bought. I know I just rattled off a few of my favorite indie movies. I got kind of worked up because it wasn't a Dark Knight Thread.

Fair enough, I could see how that would bother anyone.

I wonder if anyone's started a DK thread yet, pretty decent movie.

Thanks, I may skip Pathology then. Pretty much all the movie rental places in my area have closed down with the exception of Blockbuster and Redboxes.

Blockbuster - I hate and refuse to go to.
RedBoxes - Don't have many independent films.
On Demand - Doesn't have the independent films that I want to see (Anamorph, The Machinist, etc...).

And I really hate to Blind Buy.
