Wow, someone has an agenda. Denzel is one of the best actors of this generation. Everyone has their own opinion, but to call him marginally-talented is ridiculous. Have you ever seen.... Mo' Better Blues, Malcolm X, Philadelphia, A Soldier's Story, Remember The Titans, John Q, Ricochet, and for crying out loud, have you seen Training Day???

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

Now when is Scarface coming to blu???

[GoBlu08]

Seriously.

[owa]

Haven't seen it yet and I'm not normally a big fan of these type movies but since Denzel Washington is one of my favorite actors, I'm sure I'll check it out.

I may have overreacted..... let's just say "I find him overrated" and "No" I don't have an agenda.....

I actually own Mo' Better, Malcolm X, Philly, Ricochet, Fallen, Crimson Tide, The Preacher's Wife, Glory, Pelican Brief, Manchurian Candidate, The Siege, Remember the Titans, and Training Day (I find this movie Overrated by a LOT)

I even own Virtuosity


He's in a lot of movies I find enjoyable.... He just doesn't scream "great actor" to me..... others... MANY others, obviously disagree.... which is their right to do....

Hmmmm.... Not if you "Knew" Las Vegas during that era...

Lotta "Cactus Fert" and 55 Gallon Drums at the bottom of Lake Mead...

a very accurate movie

Wow, maybe im the only one on here that found American Gangster to be a snooze. So boring to me... but Casino is awesome.

Definitely getting both of these and Eastern Promises in october.

3 different style of mafia movies in mid october and Godfather trilogy in mid-late september... Yay.

Devil in a Blue Dress is great, so is Inside Man

[cydetrakd]

i am excited about Casino i hope they do a new reencode for the bluray version and its not mad expensive. One of the classics ive been waiting on.

[NoQuestion]

all three will be mine. I like these 3 pack sets Universal is doing. I will pick up everyone they put out

[X400]

I hope they release the DVD Gangster pack in Blu (Scarface, American Gangster, Casino) that would be killer

[D_LO]

Can't wait, definite first day buys for me. If I had to choose one though, it would have to be Casino. As said before, it's a classic.

Scarface will be released by itself at some point as it is a MAJOR title.

Ugh, I can't stand Scarface. This is one of the most overrated movies of all time and it has no business being in the same class as Godfather, Goodfellas or Casino.

[sengoku]

wow nice, i have had casino on vhs & dvd, its one of my fav movies

[Blu-ray Fanatic]

I'm still waiting for Menace II Society to go blu.

They are. Hopefully, it will be available from Family Video for the same price as the Universal "Halloween Starter Pack Blu-ray Disc," $37.35, or $12.45 per disc. That's a great deal for "Dawn of the Dead," "Land of the Dead," and "The Thing." The "Ultimate Unrated Comedy Collection Blu-ray Disc" is just $51.35 or $17.12 per disc and it contains "Forgetting Sara Marshall," "Knocked Up," and the "40-Year-Old Virgin."

I am really enjoying how Universal has come to Blu-ray with gusto. They are truly winning me over with quality and pricing.
