Is Out of Africa by Paramount? Because that would be a great Sapphire release

As we've learned with Gladiator, the latter part may not always ring true.

That part sounds great. But as you said the latter part sounds questionable.

I know this will never happen but "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" would be good for the sapphire series.

It seems they are all going to be 2-Disc sets with some pretty cool interactive special features, like the 3-D battlefields in Braveheart.

Agreed.

Paramount title most deserving Sapphire treatment-

Apocalypse Now

[Buddy Christ]

Going down the list of the movies that Paramount has to distribute, my next three picks for Sapphire are:

Titanic
Saving Private Ryan
Apocalypse Now

Check the list there is not much to choose from.

[thefutureofhollywood]

Is that Paramount? I thought it was Warner Bros.

Saving Private Ryan is Dreamworks, but still a great movie to hopefully see one day in Blu

Yes but owned by Paramount I'm pretty sure (Wiki)

I have the disc and will confirm

[thefutureofhollywood]

other possible candidates are

Ghost
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Rear Window
Vertigo
Rosemary's Baby
Once Upon a Time in the West
Harold and Maude

Wonder Boys is one I'd love to see, maybe it doesn't warrant "sapphire" status but I'd love it on BD.

Ok so it's not in 3D it is pretty cool. An interactive documentary of the actual battles that WW fought, It is 3D animation and really teaches you the strategies of the battles. The second disc is one of the best "second discs I have seen in a while. Almost all content is in HD!
