Have any of you seen the Wishmaster movies. There are 4 of them . All but #3 for me. Perhaps Pumpkinhead with Lance Hendrickson.Deep Rising has some great gore. Just a few I haven't seen mentioned. The list just keeps getting bigger.

What sucks for some of these titles i'm seeing is that they are already on HD-DVD. Unfortunately Smallville is on HD-DVD already :-( I was really hoping to see it on BD!
On a side note, I have been seeing alot more studios releasing in both formats. Most of these have originally been HD-DVD backers and are now making both!

Hmmmmm.......so many I'd like to see. And I'm going to list titles that others have listed, sorry.

Mad Max
The Road Warrior
Excalibur
Fight Club
Clerks
Mallrats
Re-Animator
V for Vendetta
Any superhero movie

After watching my first Blu-Ray movie last week I've gone out and bought a bunch of them. And after watching the first 5 minutes of The Terminator, I'm afraid that some of the older movies won't hold up as well as the newer flicks. But man, it is soooooo hard to watch a regular dvd now.

What are you asking, Darkspectre? BlackMamba is the source of BDs that haven't been announced that he/she wants to see.

[Rustmonsteru]

1. Anime!

particularly anything and everything by Satoshi Kon. I'd love to see Last Exile,
Gankutsuou & Ergo Proxy done up. Most anime isn't of sufficient VQ to warrant a BD
release but if "they" can spend the time and money to remaster something like
Dragonball Z they can certainly touch up superior properties.


2. Asian Cinema

Fukasaku
Kurosawa (both Akira & Kiyoshi)
Kobayashi
Shinoda
Okamoto
Gosha
Yoji Yamada
Miike
anything with Nakadai, Mifune, or Tamba
The Shaw Bros. Library or at least films directed by Chia-Liang Liu or starring Gordon Liu.
Everything carried by Criterion, the former HVE & Animeigo.
The recent Japanese remasters of Zatoichi TV!
Mute Samurai & Wicked Priest
2LDK
Aragami
Onmyoji 1 & 2
Kamikaze Girls
Musa: The Warrior
Iron Monkey

Drunken Master II
Nezu no Ban
Ame Agaru (After the Rain)
Eat Drink Man Woman
Kwaidan (the Eureka Masters of Cinema version)
SPL
The Banquet
Hanabi
Yaji & Kita
Raise the Red Lantern (this needs a good remastered release)


3. Other Stuff

Fight Club
Pan's Labyrinth
The Devil's Backbone

How so? Prove it.

[h1lle]

would be nice to see some old classics like hitchcock.
But i guess that it is impossible to get good quality from those old movies.

Actually with a bit of a clean up , most movies have to go through a clean to remove scratches, specs etc (the old movies may require a little more) they will come up very good as most were filmed on 35mm film which is a much higher definition than 1080p.

Pick up 'Sunset Blvd', 'Casablanca', or 'Once Upon a Time in the West' on standard DVD. They look like they were shot yesterday. Lowry Digital works wonders with restoration of old films. It would certainly be great to have them work their magic on the Hitch library.

As was said previously, film has far more resolution than 1080p, so that's not an issue. They just need to be restored and then trasferred to the HD format.

Please, if you're trying to increase your post count, at least do it with something that adds to the discussion or this list of movies people want to see (that's what this is, nothing more and nothing less)

I can't prove it, but he is the one that logged in, so i'm going to have to assume that those are his opinions. are you missing the whole point of this thread?

[Deciazulado]

Most of Hitch's movies were shot in Academy 35mm which has about a 15mm x 21mm negative area (the LOR negative area = 10mm x 24mm) and many of his most famous color films were shot in VistaVision 35mm (like The Searchers was) which has about an 18mm x 34mm negative area, so if the elements exist and are well preserved you could get stunning results. But not all elements are well preserved etc. etc., story as old as time.

I recently saw a 35mm print of Psycho (11mm x 21mm). It was old and grainy, but, even if the BD looked like that, I'd love to have it. Pre-print elements would look even better.

To Catch A Thief (VistaVision) seems to be getting a SE DVD soon by paramount. Maybe we'll have a BD too.
North By Northwest (also VistaVision) sees to be undergoing a new transfer by Warner and they say possibly BD for 2009.
