Good underrated movies you want on BD - Blu-ray Forum

bone crusher · 01-11-2008, 11:48 PM

I got a couple that I would really like to see come to the format, The Insider and The 25th Hour. Both are awesome dramas that never seem to get brought up in these forums.

What would you guys like to see coem out that may not be at the top of everyone's radar?

You're my boy, Blu! · 01-11-2008, 11:51 PM

My favorite movie is Ghost World so I guess I would like to see that come to Blu-ray. I would also like to see Amelie. The cinematography in that one would look great in HD.

SlmShdy1 · 01-11-2008, 11:54 PM

Yes, 25th Hour is one I want as well.

dahoover · 01-11-2008, 11:57 PM

I would like to see Equilibrium, Toy Soldiers, and Rudy. I really hope they release Toy Soldiers, it is still one of my favorite action movies and I think it would look good.

"Lady Snowblood"... but I guess I have to wait a loooooooooooong time...

JonD7 · 01-12-2008, 12:06 AM

Beetlejuice, haha

Downhere · 01-12-2008, 12:08 AM

I second Equilibrium and add The Paper.

JaylisJayP · 01-12-2008, 12:14 AM

if we're talking any movie regardless of studio, I'd have to say Brazil.

sj001 · 01-12-2008, 12:15 AM

Conan the Barbarian! Awesome movie!

GreenFlash06 · 01-12-2008, 12:16 AM

Me three "Equilibrium"

Pretty much everything in my collection is an underrated movie that probably won't be getting a Blu-Ray edition anytime soon. I have some action, sci-fi and comic book films, but they're not the bulk of my collection. I have a lot of classics and indie flicks and a few comedies. But nothing that puts me in the desired demographic, even though I'm a male in his early 20's.

The one movie in my collection that I think would be just PERFECT on Blu-Ray is AMADEUS. Next to BACK TO THE FUTURE 3 and CLERKS, it's my all time favorite movie. And it really does deserve the Blu-Ray treatment. It's a beautiful looking film that's shot on location in Prague to make it look like 18th century Vienna, with plenty of scenes lit by candlelight. But more importantly, the sound of the film is bar none. I would forgo every action flick on Blu-Ray if I could hear the opening notes of Don Giovanni in lossless audio.

The good thing is that there are plans from Warner's to actually release it on Blu-Ray. It's just one of those "we'll get to that later" titles.

Also, I'd like all of the Martin Scorsese movies I have on Blu-Ray. I already have THE AVIATOR, GOODFELLAS and THE LAST WALTZ. Now, I'd like RAGING BULL, GANGS OF NEW YORK and THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST. tHAt last one I'm sure will be one of the last ones to go Blu, because it's not only a Universal film from the Criterion collection, but it's one of the most controversial films ever made. What Mel faced with PASSION OF THE CHRIST is nothing compared to what Marty faced with TEMPTATION.

Oh, and second BRAZIL, but only if it's a Blu-Ray edition of the extensive Criterion Edition of the film. Otherwise, forget it.

Please check out my "theatrical poster art..." thread, or the back pages of my posting history. That is only part of it from my angle and even that is too much to repeat here.

The Right Stuff......

FruityOatyBar · 01-12-2008, 12:44 AM

The House of Mirth

The Dark Crystal

Starbooty

and of course, Showgirls

broganreynik · 01-12-2008, 12:49 AM

The Insider, 25th Hour, Beetlejuice and Equilibrium are all movies I would definitely buy on Blu-ray.
Some of these might not be "underrated" but I would love to have them on Blu, yet I haven't heard anyone really say much about them: Green Street Hooligans, Bubba Ho-Tep, Jackie Brown, Monkeybone, The Machinist, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Man From Snowy River/The Return to Snowy River, Narc, Seraphim Falls, Space Jam, This is Spinal Tap, Zathura, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Scent of a Woman, The Last Mimzy, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Platoon, Bound, The Doors, The Fan, Bringing Out the Dead, and the most underrated movie of all time.....Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters For Blu-Ray.

JTStarkiller · 01-12-2008, 12:51 AM

I really want Steven Soderbergh's remake of Solaris. Not sure if it's brought up much here. It's one of my favorite films of all time, and is beautifully shot, which would look great on Blu.

awx · 01-12-2008, 01:08 AM

I really want The Ninth Gate and The Quiet American. The New World would be cool too.

alkalinesi · 01-12-2008, 01:16 AM
