I want Soylent Green too!

WHAT?! No mention of the Ten Commandments? Anyone?

Must be my catholic hispanic upbringing, but there's none I want more than that one.

Me too and Gray Lady Down. I would also like to see the Three and Four Musketeers make it to blu. Heston was panned by some for his portrayal of Cardinal Richelieu but I don't think it was bad, still my favorite versions of the musketeer films.

Loved his movies, politics aside.

Blus I'll enjoy:

1. Ben-Hur
2. The Ten Commandments
3. Planet of the Apes (1968)

We need to get some of those classic films in Blu

Some good news from the bits rumor mill...

http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html#040808

Also today, in the wake of the death of Charlton Heston, we've learned from our industry sources (and other sources as well) that Fox is currently planning to bow what would be a fitting tribute - a Blu-ray Disc box set of not just the classic Planet of the Apes feature film, but possibly all four sequels as well, sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year. This would include at least some new featurettes and other extras. Word is Fox has even discovered the original ending from the preview cut of Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. All of this would be part of a 40th anniversary celebration of the original film.

It's also worth reminding you that Warner has officially confirmed that they're planning to deliver Ben-Hur on Blu-ray Disc in 2009.

Tastes Like Chicken. I think Charles Heston was in one of the Irwin Allen Disaster movies from the 70s.

The Posiden Adventure?
The towering Inferno? One of those types of movies. Earthquake?

We will miss you.

Waynes World 2?

Marcusarilius · 04-07-2008, 04:44 AM

True Lies show cases chuck very nicley. And had a smaller part in Tombstone.

reginaroadie · 04-07-2008, 04:49 AM

Both BEN-HUR and PLANET OF THE APES (68) are being prepped for Blu-Ray as we speak.

I think I'm going to pick up a copy of Omega Man tomorrow on Blu-ray.
