Heres what I have so far:
The Matrix Trilogy*
The Adventures Of Robin Hood*

Caddyshack
Casablanca *
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
Constantine *
The Dukes Of Hazzard
Excalibur *
Forbidden Planet *
Grand Prix *
The Matrix *
The Matrix Reloaded *
The Matrix: Revolutions *
Mutiny On The Bounty *
The Perfect Storm*
Poseidon
Smallville Season 5
V For Vendetta *
Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory
*Title that has been announced for blu-ray for 2008/early 2009.

Batman Begins and The Matrix are the only other two I can think of off the top of my head.

Ah yes! How could I forget V, one of the best movies of 2006.

I can think of those but I have heard more.

The Polar Express is one of Warner's "make-up" titles.

There's also Constantine and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (the new version) on hd dvd only.

Rike255 · 10-16-2007, 01:52 AM

The only one I want from that list if V for Vendetta. I love that movie, can't wait for it to come out in Blu-Ray! What a day that will be!

It's a great movie. I just watched it a few days ago.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November . . .

Maxell · 10-16-2007, 02:29 AM

what is the deal? Does Toshiba have an exclusive contract for those titles? It reminds of when Grand Theft Auto couldn't appear on xbox until months later.

I want Batman and Matrix! Those would top transformers if it were released tomorrow!

BStecke · 10-16-2007, 02:29 AM

Speculation is that Warner didn't want to release them without the IME feature.

moverob · 10-16-2007, 07:43 PM

I had not done the research, but that REALLY SUCKS that Warner has that many more titles available on the other format (notice I won't even let the name of the other format cross my lips, it's so pathetic!) and not on Blu! I am thankful Warner supports Blu, but some of those titles listed, I would really love to have. Especially some of the old, classic titles...

Yes I have my mind on it.

sj001 · 10-16-2007, 07:58 PM

I'm sure with IME and 1.1 profile that Warner will start unleashing these titles to BD... then they will see some REAL sales numbers!

love blu or go home! · 10-16-2007, 08:16 PM

I'm not sure I believe that. Why did they release 300 with out ime.

My theory on that is that they used 300 as a test between the two formats.
I imagine that if Blu-Ray hadn't perfom the way it did, Warner might have switched side back then (from Neutral to Hd-DVD only).
Now with Q4 being watched, they might just be looking to do the oposite (from Neutral to Blu only).

Note that it is only my theory.

Bullseye · 10-16-2007, 08:27 PM

The more i see that list the more i question WB neutrality. How in Gods name is a BDA member pulling this off.
