Classic Titles on Blu - Blu-ray Forum

WyldeMan45 · 03-23-2009, 01:12 AM

With the release of Casablanca and the upcoming Gone With the Wind and Wizard of Oz announcements, which classic movies would you hope to see?? I am a big Jimmy Cagney fan, so at the top of my list would be,

White Heat
Angels with Dirty Faces
Public Enemy
City For Conquest
Each Dawn I Die.

I know most of them are very very old but I am just hoping for a high quality upgrade on some of them as the standards just don't cut it. Also for the Brando category I would hope for The Wild One. What are some of your favorites you're hoping for?

Stalag 17, Sabrina, and Bridge on the River Kwai would be my top 3

I think that by releasing more of these classic films in hi-def it will appeal to younger audiences and maybe they will venture into watching B&W films. I'm 23 and have grown up watching the classics but I'm probably the only person I know who does, because everybody complains about the quality. I love the classic as they are, but i sure would prefer Cagney in HD.

That reminded me of The Wolfman, I forgot!

I wonder if they would possibly release this in the fall to coincide with the remake, like they did with Friday the 13th.

Pinto · 03-23-2009, 03:41 AM

Yeah, definitely On the Waterfront.

Got to have To Kill a Mockingbird - my all-time favorite movie.

Tons of Jimmy Stewart movies, tons of Alfred Hitchcock movies (which somewhat overlaps with the previous statement), tons of Charlie Chaplin movies.

Easy question. Easy answer: ALL OF THEM!

By the way, since you love classics, too, be sure to pick up The Robe and Quo Vadis that just came out. They are terrific.
