Based on popularity and critcal acclaim, I would say that the following are all good contenders: "The Ten Commandments", "Sunset Boulevard", "Rosemary's Baby", "Chinatown", "Ordinary People", "Shane", "To Catch a Thief", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Romeo and Juliet", "Nashville", "The Elephant Man", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Terms of Endearment", "Saving Private Ryan" (if Paramount has distribution rights), and "The Hours".

I believe they also have the rights to "The African Queen" and "My Fair Lady" through Viacom/CBS.

Is SPV considered a movie eligible for Sapphire? I always considered it dreamworks.

Dreamworks had North American distribution rights and Paramount had international. When first released on DVD, Dreamworks released SPV through Universal Home Video. I believe Paramount currently holds North American distribution rights through Dreamworks. How long that will last is anyone's guess.

I think the Sapphire Series seems to be for Best Picture films only...so far.

Idioteque... · 10-26-2009, 03:34 AM

American Beauty, Almost FAmous EE, Road to Perdition, Vanilla Sky, Saving PRivate Ryan, life complete.

So far "Sapphire Series" have only included Best Picture films as you have pointed out. If they continues with this trend, then the next candidates are:
Titanic
American Beauty
A Beautiful Mind?
Terms of Endearment
Ordinary People
The Lost Weekend
Wings

Correct me if I'm not wrong but Forrest Gump lost out to Shawshank Redemption for best movie.

boo! the only one id want from all of the above mentioned is Saving Private Ryan. thats it. pretty poor selection

TheAlphaNerd · 10-26-2009, 06:11 AM

If the film hasn't sold well before on other formats, it will not be a part of this series.

I'd say Titanic, which sold well on VHS and multiple DVD editions is a shoe in.
Goodburger will be next.
