Should more old 3D films be released on 3D Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

Hi,

I have an all-abiding interest in anything to do with 3D--comic books, Nintendo 3DS, lenticular posters; the list is endless. If it's 3D, it's mine!

But I'm beginning to get irritated by the current crop of 3D blu rays. While most of the films of this particular 3D era are fine and dandy, dandy and fine(to quote from 'Santa Clause the Movie'), they are not what the older 3D collector wants to see(I should know, I'm nearly 70).

So I have to ask, where are the older 3D movies in this current renaissance? Movies like, 'House of Wax', Hitchcock's 'Dial 'M' for Murder' from the 50s and, 'Jaws 3D' and the first 3D cartoon, 'Starchaser: Legend of Orin' from the 80s. Where are they?

I have heard that Tony Anthony is going to re-release 'Comin' at Ya'(a 3D spaghetti western) onto 3D blu ray but, so far, no release date is forthcoming. Hopefully if it does well some of the major distributors will sit up and take notice.

I mean, there are loads of 3D titles just begging to be put onto a shiny blu disc. Off the top of my head, 'It Came From Outer Space', 'Creature From the Black Lagoon' and its sequel, 'Revenge of the Creature' to name three. Why, even old Ed Wood got in on the act with his abysmal(but entertaining) 'Plan Nine From Outer Space'. Even George Pal thought of putting the end of his version of 'War of the Worlds' in 3D(at the point when the atom bomb is dropped).

So, come on Warner Bros, Universal and Paramount(and other studios with 3D movies in your vaults), give us oldies what we really want: older 3D movies.

What do you guys here at blu ray.com think? Or do you think I'm (to quote a Mel Brooks line from 'Blazing Saddles'), "just jerking off"?

John.
