Sony input - Which 1980's titles would you like to see on BD? - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

foots · 11-14-2007, 06:46 AM

Ghostbusters
Stand By Me
The Natural

A poll for the '60s and '70s would be nice. Taxi Driver, Easy Rider, The Last Picture Show... anyone?

Seretur · 11-14-2007, 07:09 AM

I actually voted for more titles in the 1980s poll than in the 1990s one.

And, again, I'd buy every single one if it came out. There's Coppola, there's David Lean, there's John Huston -- no contest, I guess.

no return of the living dead?

simcal · 11-14-2007, 07:28 AM

Labyrinth. Krull and ghostbusters to name a few. I know paidgeek asked for such a poll and I am glad someone got around to doing this. thanks

As far as I know that's an MGM title.

Firestreak · 11-14-2007, 08:08 AM

Ghost Busters is an easy buy but Heavy Metal would be incredible. It would really be the ultimate eye and ear candy.

sreeja · 11-14-2007, 10:16 AM

I pick blue thunder.

monkyman · 11-14-2007, 10:17 AM

Definatly Ghostbusters. And as for Christine, Who wouldn't want more Stephen King movies?? Death to all the $hi@#ers!

TheTenth · 11-14-2007, 10:34 AM

I've recently watched Labyrinth and Krull on the PS3, the upscaling is awesome, bet they'll be good on Blu-ray!!!

Nick Graham · 11-14-2007, 02:49 PM

YAY! for the John Carpenter films (Christine and Starman). HUZZAH! for Ghostbusters! A release of Annie with TrueHD or PCM might make up for Sony releasing it fullscreen only when they did the double-dip a couple of years ago on standard def.

mystiksuicide · 11-14-2007, 03:01 PM

I chose 7 but my top 3 are:

Ghost Busters
Christine
Big Blue

cathexist · 11-14-2007, 03:06 PM

Please give me The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It was on the UK release schedule for a while and then disappeared...I want...I WANT

sj001 · 11-14-2007, 03:10 PM

Oh and besides Ghostbusters, I think Glory would be an exceptional movie to put on BD, it would be awesome with PCM sound!

Sonny · 11-14-2007, 03:14 PM

PLATOON!!! with PCM!! , which on this site, its listed but has no other info

I think is late 80's I would have to look at my DVD to make sure its not early 90's.

Platoon I think was Picture of the Year 1985 or so... that would be a great one as well, can't remember the studio off-hand though.

HDJK · 11-14-2007, 03:17 PM

Ghostbusters seems to be the favorite of many, me included. It's a shame Paidgeek once mentioned in the insider's thread that the master isn't looking too good. I'll still get it though, because I'd still call it a classic (damn, I'm getting old...)

GregBlu5 · 11-14-2007, 03:18 PM

And can we finally get Peggy Sue Got Married in *widescreen* ferchrissakes? I've got it on LaserDisc in WS, but SD only has it in *stupid* Full Screen. Dumb!

Starman would be great--and also in *Widescreen*.

-Greg

Wet1 · 11-14-2007, 03:35 PM

I just hope the pricing isn't anything like CEot3K... that's just way too much IMO.

krispydude · 11-14-2007, 03:37 PM

damnit...i missed karate kid.
