New Universal Titles, Some Classics coming to Blu-ray in the USA

[anomynous]

No Big Lebowski?

[Rebelwithoutacause]

Out of all those movies listead, I'll definately be picking up:

-- A Beautiful Mind
-- Babe
-- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
-- Ray
-- To Kill A Mockingbird

I can't wait when official release dates are announced along with the front-cover artwork.

[Liquid_Swords]

holy shit...I can't wait for:

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Dazed And Confused
Billy Madison

I already have Eternal Sunshine Canadian one, which looks good. Im not double dipping unless there is something magnificant about the US version.

[octagon]

If they add Double Indemnity to that list there are going to be a lot of happy noir geeks in the world...

[Leonidas King]

Blue Crush is BOUND to be reference quality in both PQ and AQ. The beautiful scenery should look incredible in HD. The DD 5.1 on the DVD is strong enough as it is. Can't imagine the DTS-HD track!

BTW, Babe being the only kids movie in the list. I would have much preferred Casper over it!

[RonSwanson]

i refuse to believe that anyone would actually not buy A Beautiful Mind.

it's in my top 5, I wish it was getting some sort of special edition release but that looks not to be the case.

[Exist2Inspire]

Ray!

Finally! I've been hoping that Universal would release this for ages! I was mad when it didn't come out on Blu-Ray when Uni switched over.

[masoud90]

Yes!!!!!

[nolfoc]

I want to believe this but who knows.. they already delayed Half Baked.. however they did just announced Backdraft for Jan so maybe 2011 is going to be a big catalog year for them; we can only hope... i would love to own

Animal House
Dazed And Confused
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Happy Gilmore

the only other titles im waiting for them to release are...

American Pie 1 & 2
A Bronx Tale
Half Baked
Jaws
Mallrats
Sudden Death - ( they really need to get on this! Hockey season starts tomorrow)

[Minimejer05]

Cant wait for Dazed And Confused!

[biglou114]

I'll be getting these immediately:
American Graffiti
Dazed and Confused
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
National Lampoon's Animal House
Out of Sight
The Blues Brothers
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Birds

I'll get these when they're cheap:
A Beautiful Mind
Billy Madison
Blue Crush
Happy Gilmore

American Graffiti has been one top 5 most anticipated blu-rays. I'm incredibly excited about the movies listed above, but I wish they would show David Lynch some love. I'm eagerly awaiting US releases of Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway.

American Graffiti!!! Yeah baby!!! That's awesome news!!
I had a feeling it was gong to be released before the SW saga next year!!
Although it won't wow anyone in HD, due to the way it was shot, but it will still be better than the DVD in every way. I hope they'll present the fantastic hour long documentary in HD!!!

I will probably get A Beautiful Mind as a blind buy.
Perhaps Animal House, if that is the legendary comedy, which has had such a great influence on so many other comedies?

Eternal Sunshine OTSM is a maybe, since I love Jim Carrey's work, but I don't see myself watching this over and over again, as I really couldn't stand Kate Winslet's character very well in it, and it's just too serious for my taste.
How about some Man on the Moon???

No dates on some, but great news

Did you forget The Birds?

The Birds, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Blues Brothers for me! Hopefully with benefiting transfers.

[deadhatetheliving]

I'll take-
Billy Maddison-"Shampoo is betta!"
Dazed and Confused
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Happy Gilmore-"Suck my white ass ball!"
National Lampoon's Animal House-"I'm a zit...get it?"
Blues Brothers-"You said you'd visit the penguin. No f*cking way"

[MasterSandman]

I'm definitely in for Happy Gilmore and The Blues Brothers. I love those films but, for some odd reason, I still only own the VHS copies. It's time for an upgrade!

[vegeta88]

Some good titles in there. I can see myself picking up A Beautiful Mind and The Blues Brothers.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my all time favorites so I am hoping for an awesome release. Otherwise, I don't see myself upgrading.

[Shroomhead]

Dazed and Confused , Fast Times at Ridgemont High , National Lampoon's Animal House and The Birds will all be day 1 purchases for me.

I agree with this ^^

I like the American Pie movies but the only ones i would want to own are the first 3 movies.

Half Baked i like but when it comes out on Blu-ray i would honestly wait till it gets down to around $10 or $15 to buy it. I wouldn't pay anything over $20 for it.

Jaws is a no brainer and will be a day 1 buy whenever it comes out on blu-ray.

Mallrats is my all time favorite Kevin Smith movie and have been waiting for a Blu-ray release since the first day i bought my blu-ray player.

This will leave me with 14 hd-dvd's to upgrade
