Name the Cult Classics you want on Blu-ray! - Blu-ray Forum

atdm71 · 07-22-2007, 04:58 AM

They might not be titans of the box office, but name some essential cult classics no soulful Blu-ray collection would be complete without. We can only wish... For me, the top 3 would have to be:

1. Office Space
2. Beat Street
3. Revenge of the Ninja (and 80's Ninja flick throw back that's more of a confession than it is a legitimate pick)

I also have Donnie Darko in my sig line; a more legitimate hope for a Blu-ray appearance. Name some good ones we may have forgotten...

1. Snatch
2. Boondock Saints

Unfortunatly as of right now lock stock is under hd dvd's control......hopefully that will change in the near future.

Never seen it....guess I'll have to take a gander at it.

it's definitely not as good as the other two (just to manage your expectations), but Jason Statham plays a lesser but very funny part as the Mole. Vinny Jones is the lead in this one (he plays Bullet Tooth Tony in Snatch; in real life he's a famous football player throughout Europe)

I'll definetely check it out, I've yet to see a movie that made me love it as much as snatch though, I own the vhs, dvd, special edition superbit dvd, collectors edition dvd, all I need now is the Blu-ray of it and I should be satisfied for a while more.

While we're talking about these kind of movies did anyone see district B13 or should it be a huge pass?
