I second "The Sting" suggestion. Speaking of Jackie Gleason, I would like to see "Papas Delicate Condition" on BD. My favorite film of his.

daysgoby · 03-29-2010, 04:25 AM

Charlie Chaplin would be nice too..
if they can put whole bunch in one bluray as it probably won't benefit much from high-def anyway

edit: add Hitchcock films too!

The Long Long Trailer still makes me laugh out loud!

I'd like Errol Flynn on Blu-ray.
No more of the overhanded dumb-ass John Wayne please.

Anything from Danny Kaye. My favorite performer of all time. I'd also love to see To Kill a Mockingbird on blu.

The 3 classics with James Dean. REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, EAST OF EDEN & GIANT!

As far as black-and-white films go, I wanna see some Billy Wilder!

Some Like It Hot
Sunset Blvd.
Double Indemnity
(really, film-noir in general... I'd go for Maltese Falcon, etc. Even Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville)

And I'm dying to see some more Hitchcock on BR (in particular, Rear Window/Vertigo/Psycho)

Marilyn Monroe: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry A Millionaire, All About Eve, Some Like it Hot

Audrey Hepburn: My Fair Lady, Breakfast @ Tiffany's, Roman Holiday, How to Steal a Million, Charade

Jimmy Cagney : Angels With Dirty Faces, White Heat, Mister Roberts, City for Conquest, Yankee Doodle Dandee

Judy Garland: Meet Me in St. Louis, The Harvey Girls

Seconded along with many other classic horror/sci-fi titles from Universal and others.

For starters:

Dracula (both 1931 versions) [double feature]
Frankenstein (1931)/Bride of Frankenstein (1935) [double feature]
Son of Frankenstein (1939)/The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942) [double feature]
Dracula's Daughter (1936)/Son of Dracula (1943) [double feature]
The Wolf Man (1941)/Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943) [double feature]
House of Frankenstein (1944)/House of Dracula (1945) [double feature]

and many more in that vein!

+2 How long do we have to wait???

"Stagecoach" has been ordered.

"The Bridge on the River Kwai" is another one that needs to be on Blu-ray.

BasicGreatGuy · 03-30-2010, 12:14 AM

"Monkey Business" just came on Turner Classic Movies for those who might be interested.

"The Great Escape" would make for a good Blu-ray.
