Movies Made for Blu-Ray - Blu-ray Forum

Disky76 · 02-13-2010, 06:16 PM

Here is a thread for discussion on -

"Movies Made for Blu-Ray...They just didn't know it then!"

And a Question to pose - Do you think that they make movies of today specifically with Blu-ray in mind?

My "Movies Made for Blu-Ray (They Just didn't know it then) List:

Jurassic Park and The Lost World
The Abyss
Alien and Aliens
Platoon

I don't think they make movies with blu ray in mind but when it comes to thinking of home video that's probably top priority. Movies today can look better due to no detereoration, so no restoration will have to be done.
Movies that I think will look awesome on blu(not sure if they were made for blu and just didn't know it yet) for me are,
1) Vertigo
2) The Sound Of Music
3) The Nutty Professor(Lewis version-as it is so darn colorful, that if they had a great master that film would look spectacular on blu).
4) Jurassic Park
5) Singin' In The Rain

any movie with alot of special effects or action movies, all of Michael bay movies need to be put on BLU, were just waiting for Armageddon and the Island now.

Dances With Wolves, the Extended Cut. It's upsetting me that (to my knowledge), it still isn't out there.

Baraka
Playtime

kurtis21 · 02-14-2010, 02:57 PM

Nightmare Before Christmas (video is amazing)
Starship Troopers (full orchestra through a lot of the movie)
Underworld (a little newer but the audio is incredible)
Fifth Element (no explanation necessary)

I think projecting them in 70mm looks better than on Blu-ray. Just saying

District 9
Saving Private Ryan

Haha. Got 'em (or me...)! Yeah, I was just taking the title literally.

csdot · 02-14-2010, 08:58 PM

films of Mario Bava (Black Sunday, Blood and Black Lace, Black Sabbath, Twitch of the Death Nerve, etc..) and Dario Argento (Suspiria, Inferno, Deep Red, Opera etc..) two italian master of atmospheric horror films with flare for aesthetic. lots of striking photography and color begging to be given blu-ray treatment. as a horror movie nut those are the first i think of.

yeah, to be honest, i've never seen any of those 3 in 70mm

mpm74 · 02-15-2010, 04:53 AM

ALL the Bond movies. =) they look great. Even the old ones. All deserve a 5-rating if you ask me.

I wish I could see them in 70mm but you can't even find good 35mm projection in most places

I think any film shot on an unusually large negative could theoretically produce a Blu-Ray that blows away the majority of the stuff coming out now.

RyRyMcNizzy13 · 02-15-2010, 05:02 AM

Sin City (from sound to cgi to select colors)
Nightmare Before Christmas
Saving Private Ryan (mainly for sound reasons)
Dexter (very bright and amazing color for visuals)
