Paul Newman Films To Come To Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

rkish · 12-10-2008, 12:59 PM

As the rest of the world, I am mourning the death of a man that is truly a member of all of our families. The man and his talent will be sorely missed...

Right now, the only Paul Newman title on BD is "Cool Hand Luke" ("Cars" if you include voice acting credits). I would hope that there are others due out sooner than later. Tops on my list are "Nobody's Fool" (a lot of it was filmed in my current home of Beacon, NY) and "The Verdict".

Has anyone heard anything on the grapevine about this?

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is out as well. I have both it and Cool Hand Luke.

Thought BCSK sucked in terms of PQ.

I want The Verdict on Blu-Ray from Fox.

Road To Perdition is at the very top of the list for me. A damn fine film that needs to come out on Blu-ray soon.

Blu Titan · 12-10-2008, 01:02 PM

The Sting should be coming soon, but I have yet to read of any annoucements.

The PQ is fine IMO. It isn't the same quality as a 2008 release but I am very happy to have this movie on Blu-ray.

So not great but looks a lot better than the DVD though in your opinion.

andyman1970 · 12-10-2008, 01:08 PM

I'd like to have The Sting and The Color of Money

Well I don't have the DVD but I can't imagine that the Blu-ray isn't a lot better. There are many scenes with lots of detail while other not so much. Overall it isn't consistent all the way through.

I want Nobody's Fool on Blu.

Likewise, I'd love to have this movie on BD.

Ernest Rister · 12-10-2008, 01:20 PM

The Hustler....not a whole lot out there in terms of Black and White films on Blu-Ray, but The Hustler is fantastic, and I can't wait for a blu-Ray release.

Jimbo976 · 12-10-2008, 01:30 PM

I'm really looking forward to all the ones mentioned here.

Yet to see it but sounds like a good watch.

AKORIS · 12-10-2008, 03:10 PM

NOBODY'S FOOL and THE VERDICT would be my top choices but there
are of course lots of great movies to look forward to with Newman....
he was good even in mediocre movies...

BluLuzzo · 12-10-2008, 03:53 PM

my favorite sports comedy of all time

SLAP SHOT

Hey Dunlop, you suck c**k... All i can get

Rustmonsteru · 12-10-2008, 03:55 PM

I'd like to see The Long, Hot Summer (1958).

Barbie-Shrimp · 12-10-2008, 04:08 PM

I loved him in the Hudsucker Proxy with Tim Robbins and Frasier's dad. That movie is great.

Bruce Morrison · 12-10-2008, 04:40 PM

There are so many great Newman performances but, of those yet to appear on Blu, my favourite is 'Hombre', closely followed by 'Hud' and 'The Verdict'. I hope all these will appear on Blu-ray within the next three years.

I want SLAP SHOT on Blu Ray.
