What foreign film would you want on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

Pondosinatra · 04-11-2009, 06:54 AM

I generally despise Hollywood....to me your typical Hollywood flick is like fast food - cheap, not really good for you, and leaves you with a queasy feeling.

That said, I'm hoping some of the more enlightened enthusiasts on here can tell me what some of their favorite foreign films they'd like to see on Blu are?

A couple that come to mind for me are 'The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover' and 'Delicatessen'.

Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch.

Edit: And UK Version of Revolver. I heard the US version takes out the three Eddies. Yes, I'm a Guy Ritchie fan.

Most everything in my library. But we could begin with:

1. La Dolce Vita
2. Three Colors Trilogy
3. L'eclisse
4. L'avventura
5. Hiroshima Mon Amour
6. Landscape in the Mist
7. The Cranes are Flying
8. A Swedish Love Story
9. Adua e le compagne
10. Before the Revolution
11. Carlos Saura's El Dorado
12. Latcho Drom
13. Time of the Gypsies
14. Miklós Jancsó's The Red and the White
15. Lovers on the Bridge
16. La Ciociara..........

And, if possible, Tarkovsky's Nosthalgia. Thank you!

I really want "Once" on BD here in the US. There's an import that looks very tempting.

Eyes Without A Face.
Le Samourai.
Kaizo Hayasashi's brilliant Maiku Hama trilogy (only available on non-anamorphic DVDs from Kino).
La Beauté Du Diable, still not available on DVD.
The Great Silence, one of the best spaghetti westerns.
Lisa And The Devil, my favourite Mario Bava.
Dellamorte Dellamore, a great Italian horror.
Legend Of The Holy Drinker (La Leggenda Del Santo Bevitore). Rutger Hauer's finest performance
