Conversion Wish list: Which 2D movies would look great converted to 3D?

[Joe D.]

When I simulate 3D, it's having my Sony player set to +3 so the TV senses an incoming 3D signal and then setting the monitor to -2. Don't ask me why but that combination provides the best result.

Peter Jackson's King Kong really stood out. So did Canadian Rockies by Rail. Also watched the 1933 King Kong like Phil and for myself found pleasant spatial seperation more than depth but have it on DVD and not Blu-ray which might account for that. Gonna try it with the original Toho release of Godzilla of the early fifties (Japanese version) which is on Blu-ray.

At times I watch cable simulated as well. This is different because the set uses it's own simulation circuitry. Found using it's "vivid" mode, which is awful for regular viewing, compensates for the darker image and provides the best depth, though more limited than with Blu-rays. Golf and nature shows are surprisingly good and baseball at times comes across more natural.

I want drama 3D. I think the landscapes and slow pace works best for 3D

-Love Comes Softly
-Forest Gump
-Keira Knightley Period Movies (Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, The Duchess, The Aftermath)
-Rachel McAdams Love Drama Movies
-Beach Movies (The Blue Lagoon, The Shallows, The Beach)
-War Drama (A Few Good Men, Crimson Tide)
-The Shape Of Water
-Ex Machina

If you had to, but could only convert one movie to 3D, which one would it be and why....?

The Matrix because there are several occasions where the camera goes through things. Like code, the phone mic holes, etc. The elevator explosion scene would be worth the price of admission alone.

2001: A Space Odyssey.

After watching Ready Player One I have to say I would love to see The Shining in 3D, even if it would make Stanley Kubrick spin in his grave. Doctor Sleep also has some sequences that would be amazing in 3D.

Just checked. DOCTOR STRANGE 3D blu is on sale at Amazon for $24.20.

I meant Doctor Sleep!

How would people have felt if 1917 had been converted to 3D? I think it would have been a perfect 3D movie and would have made a great 3D double-bill with They Shall Not Grow Old.

Actually I have watched a few 2D simulating 3D combining adjustments on both my player and monitor.. My player converts to 3D and the monitor detects an incoming 3D signal.

Almost any nature bluray looks great. No pop outs but plenty of backwards depth. Same holds true with movies when completely out doors.

As far as movies, Peter Jackson's King Kong sticks out as having a very good simulation so converted professionally it would probably look fantastic. .

Would love to see James Bond in 3D, especially when shooting a bullet at us through the gun barrel logo

It's may not be an obvious choice, but I've always thought that the Beatles movie Yellow Submarine would be fantastic in 3D. Just imagine scenes like this (and the movie is full of them) with depth as well as vibrant colors.

The animated movie " 9 " I feel, should be the highest on any wish list !!

Sound of Music

Reading the 3D concert thread made me think how much I wanted this to be converted into 3D. It is Eva Cassidy's concert in Blues Alley DC in Jan 1996 as watched by original surviving band members. It is not really a concert per se but a documentary.

Just came out 2 nights ago.

Please make this ear delightful sensation also an eye 3D spectacle.

I always thought that Scooby-Doo 2, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Speed Racer and 2001: A Space Odyssey would look amazing in 3D. Those movies have shots with amazing depth that would involve incredible pop-outs.
For more recent movies I have to say Deadpool, that credit sequence at the beggining begs for 3D.

Scott pilgrim vs the world.

Because it looks like it was filmed with 3D in mind and a lot of scenes would look amazing in 3D
