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

[VanDammage80]

Of course, I would kill for even a regular bluray of The Abyss but I think this would make a GREAT 3D experience as well. Knowing Cameron, the idea of a 3D blu isn't too far fetched. This would probably be the top pick for my 3D wishlist. Hell, may just be my top pick for my regular bluray wishlist.

Showgirls (1995)

This is the only one where i think it would have looked incredible in 3D, it really needed it to be honest and shocked it wasn't at least converted.

Gattaca - the architectural sets would look even better in 3D w/ massive depth

The Mummy; The Mummy Returns - bugs, undead, sandstorms, etc.

Innerspace - not even on bluray, but would be like that old Disney attraction

The Mummy movies, forgot about those, but agree 100%, they'd be good in 3D along the lines of Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D with Brendan Fraser also.

Innerspace with Martin Short, Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan. That was an interesting take on shrinking down to travel through the bloodstream. Could be great in 3D. I haven't seen that since it was in the theaters many years ago.

The new movie Night At The Museum 3 - Secret of the Tomb
should be in 3D but its not!

I'd like to see more well made mid-range 3d movies, not just effects-driven $100+ million blockbusters. The way the market has gone, those smaller movies can't seem to guarentee 3d showings, and don't bother as a result. I'd like to see more movies like we had at the start of the boom, where they played with the technology, as opposed to grudgingly applying it simply because there's so much money at stake.

It's a bit of a shame there aren't more 3d horror movies, it seems to be a genre that lends itself to the medium. Nothing like a knife or an axe coming out of the screen.

I assumed it was, had to check twice and was disappointed. They lost a theatrical viewing on account of that.

I suspect they saw how bad I, Frankenstein flopped, and decided that 3d wasn't going to save it.

Regarding Dracula Untold, I would have also seen it had it been in strong, or even medium 3D.

Eight Legged Freaks, Twister, and Transformers: The Movie. All 3 would be great in 3D. Giving them special edition steelbooks would just be icing on the cake.

[Taygan315]

Tomorowland
Oblivion
War Of The Worlds

[Olivier]

The original Lord of the Rings trilogy in 3D would be awesome
Also Minority Report and Oblivion.

I have a Panasonic DMP BDT220 Blu-Ray 3D player, have had it for 4 years now. And It has a 2D-3D converting feature on it, I've never used this feature before but I'm curious as to how good it is. So I ask you all what are the best 2D movies you've used with the 2D-3D converting feature?

Well, Reaper, I have a Panasonic DMP BDT110 which does that conversion and it's interesting but not very "real." To me it seems that the process recesses the picture for depth and gives a reasonably good illusion of space ala a really good plasma in the day. But not really "3-d." I have played some space things (Star Wars) and a few others for fun but the novelty wears off. It's nice to have it but it isn't something you couldn't live without as I discovered.

I don't use the 2D/3D conversion much. But one movie I thought was pretty effective with it was Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch"...especially the fantasy sequences.

[Frank@Chicago]

For whatever reason, I've been wanting to try the original TRON as converted to 3D.

It might produce some interesting effects due to the light suits and blocky tanks.

I remember a few 'first person' camera shots with Recognizers that might be cool in 3D .

[Dalekbuster523Bluray]

I'd like to see a few conversions of 2D films:

Treasure Planet
Back To The Future
Ghostbusters
Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

[Blastcage]

I don't suppose the PS3 is capable of doing this conversion stuff?

[DuranFanWI]

Surprisingly enough, the 2D->3D conversion worked out great for The Empire Strikes Back, especially for the battle on Hoth. Results were really good for the first "Silent Hill" movie as well.

I don't believe the PS3 or PS4 does 3D Converting.

[kwrobbins]

Honestly, any computer animated movie looks very good converted. I have been surprised at just how good they look.
