MGM controls the rights to Killer's Kiss, The Killing, and Paths of Glory. Fox distributes for them, but MGM still decides what they will release.

Universal has the rights to Spartacus. They released a HD-DVD, but I'm hoping they can renew the deal with Criterion and have the BD released through them.

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

Since interest at Warner is lacking, perhaps those two could be shuffled over to Criterion...though I have no idea how those things work, or if it even could work.

But back to the point of this thread: Absolutely, I would buy both titles, on release day.

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

BARRY LYNDON is one of the half-dozen or so most beautifully photographed films ever. It may not have the best acting or be Kubrick's finest film, but the camera work alone keeps me mesmerized for three hours every time, and a Blu-ray of this would be in my home on release day. Why not also do LOLITA and complete the awesome work begun by your studio on the Kubrick titles you own? Columbia's doing STRANGELOVE, and I've not doubt wither Universal or Criterion will do SPARTACUS. That would leave only the early United Artists films, and I don't know how much they would benefit from Blu-ray. But the two remaining in your care certainly would. Many thanks!

Love Kubrick and would definitely grab these if they were released on blu-ray.

Barry Lyndon is the kind of movie Blu Ray was made for! Seriously, it would look absolutely breathtaking!

And an anamorphic version of Lolita would be sweet too!

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

I bought the first two Kubrick Collection DVD boxes, and the 5 Kubrick HD-DVDs, all on their release dates. It should go without saying that I would buy BDs of Lolita and Barry Lyndon the second they're available as well.

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

I would definitely buy both on BR. I was shocked that Warner never put these films out on BR with the other Kubrick releases 2 years ago. And my shock continues in finding out they still have no plans to do so. Kubrick was a genius and deserves to have his films presented in the best possible format available for home viewing.

Please Warner, make us Kubrick fans happy

Long time reader, first time poster. I got an account for the express purpose of posting here. BARRY LYNDON is by far my favorite Kubrick film, and one of my favorite films, period. It deserves at least a Blu-Ray transfer (never mind just a regular anamorphic version), but a full-blown Special Edition, on par with the Kubrick releases from a few years ago, is without a doubt the disc I want the most.

Barry Lyndon contains some of the most technically accomplished cinematography of all time, and is far and away Kubrick's most visually beautiful film. It would be a definite buy for me.

Good man. Welcome to HTF.

Keep them coming, folks. I'm sure WB are listening.

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

The money in my wallet is burning a hole for Lolita and Barry Lyndon.

I started a thread in the DVD folder pleading for a restoration of Barry Lyndon. It is one of the most remarkable experiences I've had in the cinema. From a cinematography point of view, it is one of the most remarkable films ever attempted because of how the image was captured and because of the aesthetics and quality of image are different from conventional films. Kubrick uses the basic principles of photography to advance cinematography by taking it back in time. There is no artificial light in Barry Lyndon. Lighting is accomplished with sun, bounce, and literally thousands of foot candles. But it's not just the natural light that gives this film its unique aesthetic qualities, it's also the 50mm Zeiss lenses with the widest aperature in film history. Most films are shot at f8 or f11, but Barry Lyndon is shot at f0.8 . Kubrick conscripted old Mitchell cameras because the mechanism and body-size were large enough to be adapted for Zeis's specialized lenses used in satellite photography in outer space. Point that space lens at an actor or an 18th century room or a landscape on earth and you see familiar things with a presence and perspective you never noticed before. In a way Barry Lyndon is all about light and time.

Barry Lyndon and Blu-ray are made for each other. There's no other film like it. It would be an artistic crime for Warner Brothers to not put this masterwork at the forefront of your plans.

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

Found this thread after Googling for Barry Lyndon & Lolita on high-def. I was surprised they weren't part of the releases of the other films on high-def.

I would definiely get bluray versions of both films should they be released.

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

I'd buy Barry Lyndon on Blu-ray in less time than it takes a heart to beat. I'm not too keen on Lolita, but it is a famous enough Kubrick film to be released anamorphically at least.

Re: Barry Lyndon and Lolita - show your support here.

I'm another one who registered an account here simply to wonder in amazement at this. I was convinced Barry Lyndon, surely, must be imminent, given the other Kubrick films available on BD - to read its not even being planned is astounding. Why on earth not? It would look stunning in HD. I have money sitting here waiting to buy it.

Count me in for Barry Lyndon! I am not a fan of Lolita but I think it's a shame we can't see this one restored.
